Occasionally, John Boehner speaks the truth

“What the hell is this, a joke?” Boehner said at his weekly press conference.

He was responding to the administration’s announcement on Tuesday evening that people who had begun the process of signing up for insurance through the federal exchanges would have until mid-April to do so, instead of March 31.

The Speaker called the move “another deadline made meaningless,” adding it to a litany of unilateral changes that the administration has made to the law. 

“This is part of a long-term pattern of this administration manipulating the law for its own convenience,” Boehner said. “It’s not hard to understand why the American people question this administration’s commitment to the rule of law.”

The Speaker mocked the use of the “honor system” to determine who was eligible for an extension after the administration said it would make no effort to ensure that people had actually begun the process of signing up by March 31.

“Why don’t they just say, ‘We’ve moved the date to April 15’? Because that’s in effect what they’ve done,” Boehner said. 

Why?  Because the Obama Administration is deceitful, opaque and lying in its nature.

    • I’m sure he was bordering on it.

      But these days, Harry Reid takes the Fruitcake Award in more ways than one — like on the Senate floor on Monday about the sanctions bill on Russia. Obstructionism on behalf of the Koch Brothers is RESPONSIBLE for the annexation of Crimea by Russia.
