well, well we finally hear from babbling Beohner and what does the speaker do, he backs a lie. this has to show the world the sinister cap the right wing wears, are they thinking it will become true one day or are they more likely thinking "we the people are to stupid to recognize the deceit?

TAMPA, Fla. -- House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Monday backed Mitt Romney's false charge that President Barack Obama has ended welfare work requirements. He said that the proximity of the policy to the election raised questions as to whether Obama was trying to shore up his base in advance of the election, a charge recently made by Romney and shot through with racial overtones.
The Romney campaign, in interviews and television ads, has been repeatedly and falsely accusing President Obama of ending welfare's work requirement. In an interview with USA Today published Monday, Romney ramped up the charge.
"There's no question in my mind that the president's action was calculated to ... shore up his base," Romney said, in what appears an obvious reference to an old racial stereotype, that welfare is a program for African Americans. 
they are all bat crap crazy and their base is as well if they let this stand. the audacity of hyperbole.
Boehner replied, "The president came out and announced that he was going to waive the work requirements that are outlined in the 1996 welfare reform bill. He's the one who said it. And those work requirements have in fact facilitated moving people from welfare to work. ... For the president to try to waive those work requirements, I think, is wrong for the country, and it's really wrong for those people on welfare who need training, who need skills, who need to get into the mainstream of American society. The premise of your question I think is wrong.
"All I know is that he did it. Why would he do it, you know, 90 days, 85 days before the election? I'll let you answer that one."
has all the crying swollen his sinuses and put pressure on his brain or is he just he is stupid trying to play on words that are clearly not his giving up anything, but what his Gov. asked for. he is right that is all he knows.
