Boehner puts Obamakov on the clock

He better be prepared to cut off funding and not bluff because Obamakov will tell him in no uncertain language to stick it!

I cannot shake the feeling Boehner will bend over.  Again.

I don't think he will (bend over).

Boehner is on very firm ground here. The Libya kinetic thing is on very shaky ground with a wide swath of the public and with members of both parties in congress.

I don't see the downside for shutting the Libya thingy down. Everyone wins. Everyone except President Poopy Pants. He gets to look like an idiot one more time.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

 He's got bambi on this one dead to rights if he bends over this time he might as well get on his knees and finish the job. Spit swallow his choice.

The Bouykink and his minions know he is going to lose the big one.
What in the world do they have up their sleeve?  It's an Ace for sure.
In what manifestation will that Ace appear?

This is when extreme left-wing nutjobs like Obamakov go nuclear, er nuc-ler, when they don't get their own way.  The threats, bribes, dirty-dealing and backstabbing and hysterical over-the-top rhetoric usually comes spilling out at these times.  The Boy Tyrant will go Andrew Jackson and ignore Boehner if he can't bully him.  I hope the Repub's hang tough, but with the debt ceiling and appopriations bills looming...well, we'll see if the Repub's grow a spine or revert to their natural cowardice.

As a bonus, a bipartisan group of legislators are suing Duh Wun's Regime!

If Boehner & Co. had a hair he would ask the Bouykink if he did not find the rain refreshing.

OK Mr. Speaker, the ball is definitely back in your court!

Yeah, come on.  It ain't like it's a war-war.
