John Boehner Outs Himself As He Calls Obama An 'Anti-War' President

“The world is starving for American leadership. But America has an anti-war president,” Boehner said during a Capitol Hill press conference on Thursday.

Yes, by labeling Barack Obama an 'anti-war' president, our House Speaker John Boehner admits he wants war, he's good with it, he's DOWN with it. Let's get this party started! Because the Iraq war, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and approximately 5,000 American troops - wasn't enough. No, let's send more of our young men and women into battle to kill and be killed. It's what we do! We'll show those terrorists. We'll show the world who's boss, just like Bush did with his inglorious 'War on Terror.' What a deciding victory that was.

I'm ashamed and disgusted (and still somewhat befuddled) that John Boehner is considered a leader in our American government. He could very easily eat my lunch every day, if I let him. But I won't, and he can't, because I know in the Oval Office there is a leader who many believe is strong, intelligent, compassionate, and humble - a president who ultimately strives for peace. And I can sleep most nights, unlike the eight years prior when I'd lay awake feeling helpless and angry, wondering how many more people, how many more children will die just to satisfy the insatiable ego and revenge of our last president and the sociopathic and sadistic greed of our last vice-president. I can sleep a little better knowing this president, though his hands are not clean, is not vying for bloody combat. I can sleep better knowing this president is considered, by some people, to be 'anti-war,' and I can't imagine why anyone would consider that to be a bad thing - unless you are pro-war. And if you are pro-war, you and your ilk probably won't mind seeing the boots of your children be the first to hit the ground in combat, yes? What's that, Mr. Speaker? You forgot to roll that tape to the end? Of course you did.

Thank you, John Boehner, for once again showing us your true colors. In your continuous quest to tear President Obama down, you once again raised him to a higher level without even trying. Speaker Boehner, you are a foolish and spiteful man who can't seem to come to grips with the fact that President Barack Obama will be remembered in history for centuries, and you will be remembered for little, if at all.
