On CNN’s State Of The Union, Speaker of the House
John Boehner had the nerve to attempt to blame Obama for his own actions
and attempts to sabotage the president.
Video:
Boehner said, “I think the animosity exhibited by
our administration towards the Prime Minister of Israel is
reprehensible, and I think that the pressure they’ve put on him over the
last four or five years has pushed him to the point where he has to
speak up. I don’t blame him at all for speaking up.”
Speaker Boehner was asked his being blamed for
making the rift deeper by inviting Netanyahu to address Congress without
notifying the President. Boehner answered, “I had one goal. I had one
goal, and that goal was to make sure that the American people heard, and
the Congress heard about the serious threat that Iran poses, not only
to the Middle East, but for the rest of the world, including the United
States, and there’s nobody who can talk more clearly about this.”
If Boehner only wanted Netanyahu to address
Congress, why wouldn’t notify President Obama? As is the norm with
Speaker Boehner, when he is in political trouble the first card he plays
is to blame President Obama. In Boehner’s warped view, it is Obama’s
fault that Boehner conspired with Netanyahu to humiliate him. Boehner’s
excuse was that Obama made them do it.
The weak excuses never stop with Boehner and his
fellow Congressional Republicans. The truth is that Boehner and
McConnell tried to pull off a power play against the President that
backfired miserably. The failure of the Netanyahu speech led to the letter to Iran by 47 Republican Senators, which has led to Boehner going to Israel during the deadline for a deal with Iran on the nuclear program to be announced.
A
clear pattern of Republican sabotage has been established. Speaker
Boehner is trying to hide his failures behind Obama hate, but his
campaign to undercut and discredit the President Of The United States is
obvious and clearly visible for all to see.
