John Boehner: America Can’t Live for Four More Years With Obama as President
Speaker of the House John Boehner issued a dire warning on America’s Newsroom, saying, “America can’t live for four more years with Barack Obama as president.”
He believes that the president has failed in getting the economy moving again and his policies could send the country in a direction from which we will never recover. He thinks we could be headed toward a big social welfare state with “high unemployment, slow economic growth, and a government that is overly large.”
Boehner addressed the GOP’s chances for keeping the House, saying, “I believe that we will but we’ve got a real challenge. We have fifty of our members in tough races, eighty-nine freshmen running for their first reelections and we have thirty two districts that are in states where there is no presidential campaign going to be run.”
Boehner commented on presumptive GOP candidate Mitt Romney and the general election saying, “The election is going to be a referendum on the president’s economic policies, pure and simple. Now, the president’s going to try to make the election about everything other than his economic policies but the American people vote with their wallets.”
