Following the GOP's weekly conference meeting, the second-ranking House Republican told reporters that President Obama should be focusing on the "economic crisis," as opposed to holding four-hour meetings on healthcare, as the president did last week. The efforts may be laudable, Cantor said, but the White House should be devoting all resources to fixing the economy and not to "impose these cap-and-trade schemes."
Would that be the four hour meeting that Cantor himself was at skinning and grinning? I mean it wasn't mandatory so if things are soooooo bad that nothing else matters, why didn't Cantor stay away? Because he is a shameless media whore thats why. Try again dipshit.
Other House Republicans in the leadership refrained from answering questions on that matter but did reiterate the call for President Obama to veto the omnibus likely headed to the White House this week, as soon as the Senate approves the $410 billion package.
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), who has attacked the package for the number of earmarks in the bill and the lack of scrutiny of many of those 9,000 pork projects, said that Obama should send the bill back to Congress for additional consideration.
But Boehner's earmark reform committee remains deadlocked over the issue as to what the conference should do about earmarks. The 10-member panel has thus far failed to agree on a way forward and told their leadership as much at a meeting Monday night.
Great job there Boner! Maybe your criticism would carry more weight if you could actually come up with a new plan for earmarks instead of wasting the time of whomever drew the short straws to sit on your "earmark reform committee". Talk about making the title Minority "Leader" ironic.
