House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) appeared on Fox News Radio this afternoon, and apparently had a little trouble keeping his composure.
The Republican leader was asked about President Obama's recent comments that he believes in an economy the works "from the middle class out," not "from the top down." This apparently sent Boehner over the edge.

"Sometimes I have to catch my breath and slow down because the rhetoric in this campaign is just so over the top. And that's because the president's policies have failed.

But the president has never created a job. He's never even had a real job for Christ's sake."
I can't help but love the contrast between the first sentence in that paragraph and the last....
House Approves Bush Tax Cuts (click here)

By Andrew Taylor and Donna Cassata
WASHINGTON - With the government heading toward a year-end "fiscal cliff," House Republicans approved a full plate of Bush-era tax cuts Wednesday that they said could help shore up a still-frail national economy. At the same time, the Obama administration warned that threatened budget cuts could send some of America's troops into battle with less training....
So let me get this right. Completely right.
There is a National Debt the Republicans state has to be solved by cutting domestic budgets to the bone and beyond.
Or, dismantle Medicare. Maybe both!
According to the Republicans other than Senator Coburn, believe the military spending has to increase.
Yet, it is necessary to maintain all Bush Tax Cuts that will continue to increase the National Debt.
You know, Boner, I really believe you are Anti-American.
Seriously.
