You’d think with big election wins in the 2014 midterms, Republicans would be a little more gracious and eager to work with the president and Democrats. Aren’t the winners always gracious? Even Sen. Mitch McConnell, in his victory speech, showed a “kinder, gentler” side of himself. But no….there are still plenty of lunatics in Congress.
From the Washington Post:
Late Tuesday, Rep. Paul C. Broun (R-Ga.) called for Boehner to not invite Obama to deliver the State of the Union address next year. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) suggested that the budgets for White House operations, including for Air Force One, should be decreased. Other conservatives have mentioned censuring the president, impeaching him or suing the administration over its immigration actions.
?I’d rather defund Air Force One,? Huelskamp said. ?Congress took a 19 percent cut on its budgets ? we should do the same for the White House.? On the State of the Union, he added: ?In the spirit of George Washington, he could send it to us in writing. It’d save some time.?
They just really can’t stand having a black man?flying around in that nice jet, can they? It is driving them BONKERS. He needs to learn his place!
