With a brand-new Republican Congress at his back, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) had stern words for President Barack Obama on his plans to issue executive orders on immigration: Don’t even think about it.
“If the president acts on his own, he will poison the well,” Boehner told reporters at a Thursday press conference. “If you play with matches, you can risk burning yourself. The American people made it clear on Election Day: They want to get things done and they don’t want the president acting on a unilateral basis. “
It was the exact same language — “poisoning the well” — that incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell used on Wednesday.
Obama, for his part, said after the election that his party’s losses would not deter him from issuing executive orders to reform the immigration system.
How can the POTUS poison an already poisoned well?
Yeah, you better be watching your back…from your Tea Bagger masters, buddy. They want your head more than Obama’s.
The well has been rancid for the last (6) years John.
"“If the president acts on his own, he will poison the well,”
John of Orange, please. You know very well that with a Republican controlled Congress, and a shrieking insane far right who’s ass you will kiss, President Obama is going to get burned no matter what he does.
Wow - You now have the chutzpah to taunt Obama - Keep at it ahole - lets see where it gets you.
And I do hope Obama finally responds to these idiots in kind. They won’t go away until you punch them in the mouth. Let them now try to impeach and see how the country responds.
