CNN

"The president is learning how difficult it is to govern" – How arrogant!! Apparently Boehner has not learned how difficult it is to keep his orange face out of the public eye when he has nothing of substance to say. This president has accomplished more good in a few short months than Dubya did in all his eight unfortunate years. (Was that considered "governing"?) Go back to your tanning bed, Boehner, and shut up. Looks to me like you have black-skin envy.....

The Obama administration has done more in 100 days than the GOP in 8 years. Sad...but true.

Democrats think that "good" government is freebies and entitlements and the government "thinking" and making decisions for you and your family--personal responsibility is so hard isn't it.

One interview gets four individual stories ? Do you get paid by the inch ? Is Boehner so profound that each statement warrants it's own distinct story ? This smells like FOX Noise.

“The president has a tough job to do,”

Then why do you insist on making it harder? America deserves better, we need a 2/3 majority of Dems if we want to get things done.

Twit on a stick!

John Boehner is just another Republican who thinks he's next to GOD.

Boehner is just another disgruntled Republican who thinks he's royalty. Moron.

How? He has done nothing. "A Govener", is a driving force of an Electric system. Borack Obama. blew a fuse months ago.

bonehead is a typical repugnican. All share a shallow, hateful, narrow minded collective ego. This guy is all that plus an oily looking (think Jindal) appearance.

Yes,
spending all his life learning to read speeches to impress us with his charisma, was president Obama's vocation, now it is not enough. Hopefully, learning on the job won't hurt America.

Why do people on this site have so much hate?? The Dems have the house, senate, and White House and you still throw barbs and complain like you lost every election. Your arrogance is doing nothing to help you for 2010. Many Republicans that voted for Obama have seen the error of their ways and will not be making the same mistake again. Couple that and the emminent demise of the true cult, not the Catholic Church, of ACORN and the dems will be out in 2010. I just hope it's before our deficit is 5 trillion and a socialist country.

Seriously Obama needs to get some new advisors to help him govern more effectively. if he's smart he'll go to the top people in the Early Childhood education field. these people have tons of techniques for dealing with squabbling children.

Boner's high partisan obstructionism isn't making it any easier for Obama to govern.
A smart GOP leader would go to the negotiating table in good faith with a set of proposals and actually try to influence the outcome, instead of just vote "no" to everything and spend all his time criticizing.

President Obama is not learning how hard it is to govern. He is learning how hard it is to get anything done when the party of NO is throwing a "Temper Tantrum" everyday because it no longer has the power.

renee- We could not have gone to war without the Dems voting for it. Its both Dems and Republicans are at fault. Obama made the statement if he had been in the Senate at the time he probably would have voted for it. The media wanted Obama to win so they didn't tell it on all channels.

Wait until you see what the results of Obama's war in Afganistan is before you speak.

It IS difficult to govern, when the rest of the congress is in the tank for that top 1 %. (like the tan man)

CNN is again using shortcuts to avoid telling the truth and creating false controversy. President Obama when he was Senator SUPPORTED military commissions but NOT under the illegal rules that Bush put on them.

President Obama halted these bizarre commissions and has now initiated rules that correct these Bush problems. Always key facts ommitted in whatever CNN reports.

Boehner seems to be falsely assuming that he has the intelligence and leadership skills to criticize someone else.

Thank you Joan in Ontario. Dr Day tried unsuccessfully to start a private medical system in BC while wanting the medical system to pay for a great portion of his fees. However, right wing fear mongers always criticize other countries without facts and the US media goes right along with them without any investigative reporting.

These false accusations and the gridlocked American political system reaffirms that I live in one of the most democratic, advanced countires in the world and reaffirms my pride in my fellow Canadians who have developed systems that protect one another.

I guess it would be difficult to govern when you have to deal with a party that is ran by a talk show host and a bunch of politicians who are afraid to stand up to him.

Boehner had the audacity to suggest that the Rep's no numbers stimulous package and budget were "options"...and of course John KIng let him blither on without any challenge/

Paula, I mean Jess, are you still trying to sneak this nonsense in on another blog. Let it go girl. There are more issues to deal with than a mute point like the president's birth certificate. We know your ignorance when we see it: ***Paula, I mean Jess says: "Obama is paying lawyers to hide his birth certificate and his college records. We know that fact because his lawyers answers to suits all over the country are public record. There’s nothing crazier than a President hiding his birth certificate and college records. People need to know that fact.. What is the reason for this? What happened to "transparent"???
Sheeple: why don't you ask your King about this?"

Jess said: Obama is paying lawyers to hide his birth certificate and his college records. We know that fact because his lawyers answers to suits all over the country are public record. There’s nothing crazier than a President hiding his birth certificate and college records. People need to know that fact.. What is the reason for this? What happened to "transparent"???

I haven't had such a good laugh in days. It geniuses like Jess who will guarantee the continuing decline of the republican party. The inbreeding of congenital idiots with fundamentalist wingnuts is finally taking its toll on the GOP.

There always seems to be at least one crazy person who brings up the whole birth certificate thing. Give it up. The state of Hawaii has an original and it has been authenticated and is even available on the web for you to see.

Not like winning the presidential election, which was easy. Actually, I guess it was, considering the circus that passes for the GOP of today.

I guess it is a backhanded compliment. Either way, he is being pragmatic unlike you and the rest of your cronies. I haven't seen any of you change one view on anything. Your tunnel vision is going to get you blindsided.

I tried to tell him.

Boehner admitted he spends most of his day on the golf course which gives him the tan. It looks like the rest of his day is spent in the media pretending like he's doing something. Republicans need to wakeup, these House republicans aren't doing anything for you, but a lot for themselves and families while you pay. Wakeup out there.

Every sane individual knew that Obama would have to reverse himself
repeatedly once he actually had to govern - rather than make pie-in-the-sky promises, aka LIES.

Kimberly,

I myself have NEVER said anything derogatory about our current President. I will say I totally disagree with his spend-thrift ways and at the rate he's going we'll all be government employees by 2012. Yes I'm resigned to the fact that he'll be re-elected in 2012 unless we all go to hell quicker than I'd think.

Best president's ever? Do you realize how stupid that sounds? he's been in office about 130 days? Once again I now lump you in with the laundry list of democratic followers that will blindly follow Obama over a cliff. I understand and agree that George W Bush had many deficencies. That doesn't mean that Obama does not.

TO: Republicans are the American Taliban

We are all Americans, you idiot. As an Independent, you are either brainwashed or just plain dumb. Please don't vote.

Willy Brown May 17th, 2009 12:34 pm ET – #44 is no leader but a cheer leader.

Comments like this seem quite hypocritical. Can you imagine if your candidate Sarah Palin were President of the United States?

Another whining repug eh. He knows better than you how to govern. Just look at your own miserable buddies. democratonly dot com.

Obama should have been smart enough to know from the first day not to release the photos it would harm are troops, but no he was trying to pay the left wing radicals back for voting for him. He paid Chrysler and GM our tax dollars and they still are going into bankruptsy. Its all about politics. 30 million dollars they gave his campaign and all of you Obamabots think he is not in bed with special interest groups. Grow up. The government is all about power and could care less about you.

It IS hard to govern....that's why I'm glad we have a man in office with such great intelligence, pragmatism and empathy for his fellow citizens. I will not agree with all of our President's decisions (I am adamantly opposed to military tribunals, for example), but every day he is in office I am more convinced that my vote was well cast. Barack Obama is an exceptional leader.

It is far more important that we acknowledge our mistakes and determine how we got so far away from our beliefs that prisoners were waterboarded over 250 times. If Nancy Pelosi was involved in making those decisions, then so be it. She won't be able to hide from the truth. If folks want Pelosi so badly, then they will have to accept that the trail starts with the Republicans.

How nice, Boehner, you admit that the GOP is doing everything in it's power to make it difficult for Obama. Isn't it a shame that you jackals don't feel any desire to HELP the country rather than yourselves.

I just can't wait untill all the Obamabots have to pay double for their electric bills and everything else they buy and then lets hear them say. "well 95% of us got a tax cut." Obama puts it in one hand and takes it out of the other. Think about it.

Boehner who is nothing more than a House of Rep makes the statement about Obama: “I think he’s beginning to learn how difficult it is to govern." This is not a credible statement because Boehner neither has the experience or scope of governing to make this statement. He cannot state that someone else is learning how difficult it is to govern or not when he has never been in those shoes. Propaganda statement by Boehner.

When was the last time that Boehner President of the United States? THis Moron can't even lead a party of Idiots let alone the country.

Once again, the drivel of debate between the liberal lemmings and the right wing radicals sounds so childish on these blogs.

I like it when you liberal dumbocrats get all hot and bothered over what a Republican says. It means they are saying the right things. Keep it up Republicans!

They are trying to stir up the protests from the left, thinking that will dull the popularity of the prez. Actually, they are helping to make his point that he is a moderate and pragmatist. Those of us who actually listened to what Obama said during the campaign, then voted for him, are very pleased with how he is doing. For instance, if there is a way to close Gitmo and work out a way to try these terror suspects, he will do it. If he can't, he won't. It was only when he called for closing it that the logistics, consequences and possibilities could seriously be analyzed. If it turns out to not be pssible, he will not do it. As much as that lunatic Palin and the Republican party tried to paint Obama as some kind of supporter of terrorists, he is not. Nor is he a socialist, fascist, communist, murderer of infants, or muslim extremeist. And JOhn Boehner knows it too.

At least he's trying, unlike you, who can't seem to keep your face off TV for more than 20 minutes between such 'inciteful' and helpful comments! Get to work!

hey boner even when obama changes position on an issue he does it better than u and ur pack of idiots

Hey TEA BAGGERS, LEMON DROPPERS, Whatever you are calling yourselves these days, how come you can't think on your own you have Faux News thinking for you, it's funny how you listen to Bill O Sorry and you programm everything in your tiny pea brain and you repeat it over and over and over untill you actually believe it well here is a FIST BUMP TO YOU.................

ROBERT: The Catholic Church is not a cult. Maybe you should look up the definition of "cult" in the dictionary. But judging by the way you spelled the word "lose," you don't really know how to use a dictionary, right?

Those were the words spoken years ago by Rev. Billy Graham.....have we not learned anything?

Heavenly Father, we come beforeyou today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know You Word says, "Woe to those who call evil good:, but that is exactly what we have done. We hae lost our spiritual equilibrium and reveresed our values. We hae exploited the poor and called it the lottery. we have rewarded laziness and called it welfare..We hae killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building esteem. We have abused power and called it politics..We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, adn know our hearts today cleanse us from every sin and Set us Free.

Boehner is a Republican? What is that? I thought those types went the way of the dodo and T. rex?

A republican giving President Obama advice on how to govern, now that is rich!

President Obama is doing fine with out the help of Boehner, if he had two brains, he would be twice as stupid!

@ Jess (Jess You Are A HOT Mess) take a hike

Is this the Bone Head Man that said he came up with a better budget cut to hell, listening to the Great Old Phart is like listening to a finger nail going across a chalk board...........

#44 is no leader but a cheer leader.

That is with any new position. Yo ave a learning curve. Just ask Steele, who I ssect won't be RNC Chair much longer

Words I've noticed Libs use the most when you don't agree with them....."""""Troll" "pathetic soul" "racist" "idiots" "hypocrites" "moron" "boneheads" "repiglican" "backwards" "losers" "fools"......and the list could go on forever. Yet the Libs would like us to believe they are "progressives" and bill themselves as "diverse and tolerant" Hmmmmmmmm, after reading many of their comments, "diverse and tolerant" I don't think so.

John Boehner what experience have you had as, "PRESIDENT", so as to raddle your sabers ? Same goes for Cheney, Newt, Steele and the rest of you phonies !

Hey Boner he hasn't yet killed 4000 plus, maimed 20000 plus that you goper's did . We hope he never learns to do that, it will also help to keep you and your goper,s in the minority and save the lives of potential many more Americans where they could be tortured and waterboarded due to the REPUBLICN POLICIES OF THE LAST GOP ADMINISTRATION. Get back in your tanning booth wih howdy doodie Jindal.

NCParalegal – very well put.

Different opinions working toward the best outcome for all is how democracy works. I believe we need to seperate issues to deal with each issue on it's own merits. Lumping gun sales with religious freedom is bound to have stagnant results.
Not too long ago the political party's moderates used to keep the radicals of their own party in check. I believe it will balance back to that, but until then we will continue to have difficult times, some more than others.

Pelosi is a walking Ponzi scheme and would not understand the constitution if it was in cartoon illustrations. One down and one to go in congress because Harry is the next one to overstep for political purposes. Nancy would be a great council woman for San Francisco and she might as well begin the campaign because her time is short in congress.
In the future it might be best if we require anyone running for office to read city charters, state constitutions or the US constitution & then pass a test before being placed on the ballot. The most powerful government should be local & it's time for 'want-to-be" office holders understand the rules of the office(s) they aspire too. This is not a one party problem & it is time for us to wake these clowns up.

I think Obama is doing just fine. Congress is being stupid, as usual.

In the words of Patrick Henry, “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people; it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.” If freedom-loving Americans do not take a stand, our precious liberties may be lost forever.

John Boehner just said on John King's right wing show that you have the best run medical system in the world. Try telling that to the over 45 million people in your country who have no health insurance. Some right wing swift boaters are running ads in your country using people from here in Canada who are bad mouthing our system. The doctor on that tape has never been heard of in my area of the country. Who is he anyway? Maybe our system isn't perfect all the time but at least we are not leaving millions of people out in the cold and we don't have to go into bankruptcy if someone in our family gets a critical disease.

Obama is paying lawyers to hide his birth certificate and his college records. We know that fact because his lawyers answers to suits all over the country are public record. There’s nothing crazier than a President hiding his birth certificate and college records. People need to know that fact.. What is the reason for this? What happened to "transparent"???
Sheeple: why don't you ask your King about this?

In response to "Republican turned democrat" Maybe you should do the math on Mr. Obama's economic plan. Then we'll see who's spending our money.

Did your brain melt?

In my opinion, if Pelosi lied, and I am sure she did, and she did not question the issue or raise any red flags then she condoned the type of torture she is now against. She will do and say anything to mentioned the Bush Adm. in a negative way but this time she agreed with them by ignorning the issue.
Poor Pelosi what is she going to do when the Dems have to take ownership of the way this country is headed, who can she blame then, they are calling the shots.

The Republican Party seems to be really full of boneheads. Who are they to talk about other people lying. They are always doing that, along with their fearmongering. It is so obvious that they are just setting up to try and win the next election, rather than concentrating on, and trying to help this President, doing what is needed to improve things in the country. This is a party of Party and me first, rather than country first. They are always trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. Where were they when Bush was sending the country down the toilet. Now they want it to appear that they have all the answers to help the U.S.?

Another thing to learn...if a person plans on doing something, and then gets advice that it is not the right thing, isn't it wise to listen to those who have more experience and who have better ideas? It is a fool, like we know who, who never admits to mistakes and just goes ahead to do what they want, especially if it's the wrong thing to do.

ROBERT….maybe ALL churches should lose their tax exempt status if they want to play politics. BUT the Catholic Church is not a cult and that is quite a broad statement filled with hate. Not nice to hear when you are a Catholic that voted for Obama. A lot of Catholics voted for Obama.

hey MIKE, we are misspelling his LAST name because he is a boner! To use YOUR presidents middle name in a derogitory way is because you want to call him a terrorist, or try to warp the minds of the idiots that are republicans and dont know any better. This is NOT the same. Barack HUSSEIN OBAMA is one of the best presidents EVER!!!!! DEAL WITH IT!! He will be YOUR president for 8 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG YEARS!

I'm a conservative...but I will give Obuma some credit, he is trying to deal with long overdue issues, I don't agree with most of what he is doing like spending this country into debt for decades to come, but he's dealing with the issues that have needed to be delt with for a long time. He has a long road ahead of him still, I don wish him luck. I also wish Rush Limbaugh would just shut up! he speaks out of his butt to much...to much negative things about this administration and always likes to make himself the living legend in his own mind.

Robert....maybe ALL churches should lose their tax exempt status if they want to play politics. BUT the Catholic Church is not a cult and that is quite a broad statement filled with hate. Not nice to hear when you are a Catholic that voted for Obama. A lot of Catholics voted for Obama.

John Boehner will never rise beyond the position he now holds.NFG

Well at least President Obama had no qualms with admitting he was wrong about something ... unlike someone else I could name.

CoughCoughDubyaCoughCough.

He didnt REVERSE his decision! He is closing gitmo, he is just changing the way hes holding the trials. As far as the pictures go, him NOT releasing them has NOTHING to do with the repukes calling him a terrorist. THEY WILL BE put out there for the world to see what SCUM the soldiers are that did these unreal acts! He is just waiting for everthing to come together and do it all at the same time. He has made that clear! The boner guy is a joke!!!!

It is only difficult when you have people in the GOP who refused to support Obama. Obama is not Bush (thank goodness) or even Clinton. The best President we have ever had...

Republicans still could NOT admit that they have lost their leadership on America. All they are doing now is to criticize and disapprove anything this intelligent President is trying to do for the country. Why don't you Republicans spend your times and efforts thinking of ways and means to improve our nation, instead of spending taxpayers' monies (your wages) coming up with any issues to discredit Obama and his administration. Your attitude only makes the American people dislike you more. Too bad, you'll be miserable and frustrated for the next eight years!!!!

Boehner and others of his generation, particularly conservative Republicans, are the most incredibly patronizing, self-centered, backwards, idiotic people. If he were to express such patronization of me in front of my face with that long, snobbish expression I would be inclined to punch him in the nose. These statements of his are useless jabber by someone who has nothing useful to say.

And Republicans in Congress are part of the problem not the solution, by creating distractions and refusing to participate in governance. I don't think Obama is having a rough time at all. As for his "reversals", as president, he now has access to any information from any source. If you remember, he ordered a full review of the file of each detainee – maybe he learned something. Second, I don't want to see the photographs of torture. It sickens me and deeply embarrasses me as a citizen of the U.S. and the world.

Why do most of these comments reflect so much hate toward Republicans? It is difficult to be President. Maybe you should direct your hate toward the worthless members of Congress and we ALL will benefit.

You know, I would argue that he probably learned through that very first stimulis bill when he signed. What was it?? Only 3 GOP signed it?? I think he realized how difficult and complicated the hurdle can be. But you guys know what? People wanna talk about how they can't work together or should my boy really try to reach a hand or should he do something different and blah, blah, blah. You know, there are some bills where they got bipartisan support, like the Children's Health Care, that one happened like about 2 months or so, right? And other ones as well, you could actually see for yourself...

I think the issues will depend greatly on what will be govern or not, is a tough business. If its something social like abortion, then you have no chance BUT like the Credit Card Bill of Rights, that one seemed to have momentum, heck, even Health Care is getting on it. But to tell you the truth guys, my boy has been consistent on Health Care, even if you look at his videos past and even press conferences he believes Health Care need both GOP and Dems, I think if you look at his FIRST news conference as Prez, he actually said that so health Care ain't nothing new about this Prez and what he wanted to do, as a matter of fact, if you look deep and at the primaries it was actually Hillary's thang, it wasn't until the elections where he adapted and used that for the Dems strength.

Is a tough business, sometimes maybe you can work and most of the time it'll get complicated, is a lot of work...

Of course he needs to reverse some of his promises, he promised everything to everyone. The prblem is that uneducated people heard the promise they wanted and had no idea of what everything else meant. They then voted for the guy who will give them whatever hand out they wanted. Now he has to actully run the country and will do they things he can and not do the things that were never possible to start with.

This is not his fault, he knew that people with little education would flock and they did, he knew that people would get star eyed with pretty words. It is the fault of the sheep who followed in line.

Candidates campaign in "poetry" and those who govern, govern in prose.

President Obama is the President of America – that's all of us.

Remember when you were a kid and Daddy said "no!" You pouted and swore never to be mean to your kids. Now, as the parent, you have to say "no" – because you're the adult...

Again this is why the Republican Party will not get elected again. They are clueless to world problems and use fear to get votes. Also their Catholic chuch should loose it's tax exempt status for being a cult. This church owns so many corporations it would make your head spin.

The massive overwhelming hypocrisy of the Republicans just keeps on trucking.......I wonder what it's like to be a member of the party that completely ruined this country. Disgusting, shameful, embarrassing, same old same old......

Boehner is a bone head. All he does is talk talk talk. He has no idea what he is saying. Poor thing needs a rest, I guess. Go away stupid.

At least President Obama has an open mind and is willing to listen to his military advisers and commanders and change his mind when he is proven wrong, UNLIKE the former closed mind who lived at the White House. The repugnikins could use a lot of his insight into how to progress in knowledge.

Boehner just like most leaders on both sides continue to Underestimate the man that is Obama. They are still finding it hard to realize that a man of color can rule without the help of the "majority". Obama did not wake up one day and decided he was going to run for President, he has worked on this all his life. He has achieved and he as has failed but mostley he has learned. It was the Obama administration that came up with a solid way to keep the pictures out of the public domain not for political gain but to protect the troups. So in my opinion he has been the best leader we have had in a very long long time. I don't recall these so called leaders giving Bush all this "help". Maybe its time that we as voters begin to look at these elected officials and determine what is really motivating these very outragous comments. They may not be working for all of their constituents. Now for those leaders that oppose Obama for a reason that appear to be on a level of difference of opin on philosophy then I can respect your views. Obama is the leader we need today and whether you agree with him or not, he trying to be the leader for all people and that's one reason why he having problems from both sides. At the end of this dance Obama will be proven to be one of the best leaders the US ever had because he put the people first not just his party.

I would much rather have a President that "reverses" his opinions than one who blindly goes ahead and sends our Country to hell in a hand basket. If the gop wanted so bad to prove their leadship qualities they could have led us better for the last 8 years. Instead they sat back while Bush and his klan wrecked our economy, our good name and spent us into a place the real terrorist could only dream of. Boehner should go back to the tanning store owner and complain that too much tanning has pickled his brian, maybe he can get his two cents back.

President Obama needs to stick to the original plan. Do not seek the approval of Republicans for the most part because you will not get it. Just do what the majority of the American people elected you to do – to bring sweeping and positive CHANGE for us. Forget about trying to fulfill a dream of being another Lincoln. He was a great President and your Presidency thus far has its similarities, but as I have said, the Republicans then were far different than the Republicans of today. The Republicans of today are not going to approve of the majority of what you do. So, just do what's right and do what you were elected to do. I would like to see you, President Obama, have a second term. Please do not set yourself, and us, up for anything less than that.

Really, only Republicans are watching Obama and coming to the conclusions that "it's difficult to govern."

That's because Republicans have absolutely no idea what "smart Government" is!

Just look at the group of people they consider "smart":
George W. Bush, Alberto Gonzales, Harriet Miers, Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfield, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck.

As far as I can tell, Barack Obama doesn't even look like he's broken a sweat yet.

In contrast, the Republicans haven't stopped whining about being Losers since January.

Barack Obama = Smart Government = CHANGE we can believe in and change for which we still have much HOPE!

John Boehner's (I cannot even let myself honor this fool with mentioning that he is the Minority Leader of Congress) assertion that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should present evidence of lying by CIA officials since lying to Congress is a crime is the height of hypocrisy. If Boehner wants anyone who lied to Congress to be prosecuted, then lets put George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Alberto Gonzalez, Donald Rumsfeld, and many other Administration officials under the same process for not only lying to Congress, but to the American people and to the country as a whole!!! Although I can't personally stand Nancy Pelosi, and would like to see her replaced as Speaker because she is just as reprehensible as Boehner is many ways, to put her under the truth statement microscope while letting the Bush thugs escape their day of justice is absolutely the stupidiest thing to come out of a politicians mouth since George Bush said "So help me God! at his inauguration in 2001 and 2005.
And Newt Gingrich, Limbaugh, Jindal, Romney, Norquist, and the other Reichsfuhers of the GOP need to shut their lying yaps and go take goosestepping lessons off a pier into the Potomac. These vain, brain dead, egotistical politicians are pus filled boils on the butt of the American people, and we need to lance and drain them from our sight.
Also Boehner needs to realize that the only reason President Obama has had to make several key decisions that flip-flopped from his earlier positions, has been because of the blatant stonewalling and lack of cooperation the GOP has become famous for the past 100 days. The GOP is determined to ruin our country rather than work with the President.

Yeah Boehner, it doesn't help when your party says NO to everything Obama tries to make this country better...it IS difficult to govern with jokers like YOU in the way!

Can't agree more with Doug, Boehner is no leader and has done absolutely nothing to lead his party except becoming one of Rush's little puppets. Just a another attempt to discredit and stall the progress at all cost.

I like to see both Dems and Reps show flexibility as a strength. We are at a pivotal point with Afghanistan and Pakistan and if after hearing from our military leaders Obama has chosen a different path then thats a good thing. A leader should be strong enough to alter or modify a position based on current data. This is far different than making up data to support a position for the sake of stubborness. It is challenging to lead, as it shoudl be, for any President. We all struggle to do the right thing in our own lives and at times that means compromising. A strong leader is confident enough to do that no matter what his party affiliation.

“I think he’s beginning to learn how difficult it is to govern.' Gee, Mr. Boehner, who thinks CO2 emissions don't contribute to climate change, too bad you never learned anything.

i love how all the left leaners on here find it funny to misspell John's first name but are the first to cry out when anyone mentions the president's middle name in a derogatory way. Nice double standard Democrats.

Boehmer,
Real leaders have to do that. When facing the realities you have to make appropriate decisions. Obama shows that he is a real leader. Your "Bush" thought he was always right. He didn't see the nation sinking under his watch. Still today, Cheney believes that his administration was not a disgrace for the Nation. Rush Limbaugh, Coulter, Hannity, Gingrich, O'reilly are all critizing Obama already. Ironically, they think Bush was great.

John I'm sure you have all the answers on how to govern the united states. Why is it I hear all this criticing from the repugs now but for the last 8 years they were reallly just quiet?

How would Boehner know about how to govern? As one of the leaders who bows to Rush whenever, he has shown no ability to even lead his party.

I don't see President Obama struggling with the responsibilities of his office. He chose to change his position with regards to releasing the detainee photos after he listened to military professionals spoke. I'd rather have a President who isn't afraid to accept the fact that he may have been wrong. Did Bush say he was wrong when everyone saw the truth, and even then, he held his position.
Boehner is an amateur. Think before you comment on the Presidents abilities.

Boner's like the neighbor who robs your house then comes over to offer advise on how to install your new burglar alarm, and how sorry he is that it happened to you. All the while with that John McCain smirk on his face. Oh, BTW that "maverick" McCain spoke here in Phoenix to the NRA folks where he basically told everyone that President Obama wants to take away their right to own a firearm....cue the smirk.Part of the "new" Republican party huh John....

Republicans get a life and move on. If this country of Republicans keep setting bad examples for their kids and grand kids what will the Republicans party become. Stop hating the President works. Yes he is black and as far as I can see this is the biggest problem for the Republican party. The man is half and half. He can choose to black on minute and white the next. What side do you Republicans want him to choose? This is so pathetic that I wander what you teach your children. Love or Hate? CNN Please Print. This is something that the Republicans needs to think about for their future and their grandchildern.

100 days of spending is all that has marked his first 100 days. No attempt to actually heal the divisions of this nation, nothing but blah, blah, blah.

Obama needs to reign in the far left, cutting off Reid and asking Pelosi to step down. Likewise he needs to ignore the far right, if he reigns in the far left, the right will be without a cause and have no air time.

As if Boner has experiance in running anything/ Except a tanning bed.

Not easy when you have Bush ghost all around

Is this a conciliatory remark by the House Republican leader? I'll bet this is the beginning of a true bi-partisan relationship between the President and Congress. I like the "give a little, take a little" vibe behind the decision not to release the photographs.

Right Boehner, and you and Republicans are doing everything you can to make it as difficult as possible.

oh John have another drink with the GOP and sit down your 15 minutes are way pass time to go away.
our president has done more in the first 100 days than your job as an idiot has done . threats and fear . the key to the old GOP. looks like you idiots have nothing left but finger pointing and lies

if you don't have anything to say that will help the country get out of the mess you and your idiots got us into then ...straight up shut up !

If Pres. Obama had your intellectual limitations, get elected at any cost attitude and "Just say NO!" legislative policy it might be hard. Since he's not a mental midget like you perhaps you should keep your ignorant, obviously partisan self-serving comments to yourself...

hey Boner, why don't you apologize to the American people for what you have done to this country!!!!!!
