Boehner fires back at Dem senators with vow to push forward with repeal

Boehner reminds me of a Teddy Roosevelt motto, "Speak softly, but carry a big stick." It is good to know that Boehner won't take any flack from these Democrats!

(The Hill) Boehner's office responded to a letter sent by the Senate's top five Democrats, vowing to block a House bill repealing healthcare reform, with a terse, 65-word note.

Senators Reid, Durbin, Schumer, Murray and Stabenow:

Thank you for reminding us – and the American people – of the backroom deal that you struck behind closed doors with ‘Big Pharma,’ resulting in bigger profits for the drug companies, and higher prescription drug costs for 33 million seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D, at a cost to the taxpayers of $42.6 billion.

The House is going to pass legislation to repeal that now. You’re welcome.

The note comes in response to a letter released on Monday by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nev.) office, in which the Democrats promise to block a bill repealing benefits within the healthcare law.

Obama Letter Fetches $7000 while Harry Reid's Letter for $2.1 Million

A struggling mom who wrote to Obama about her financial hardship and received a short handwritten response from the president sold it to an autograph dealer to help pay for her house. The amount disclosed for the letter was paid to her in the amount of $7,000.00.

Honestly, the lady got screwed and duped. Conservative talk show Rush Limbaugh got $2.1 million for a smear letter that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wrote. It tells alot about the worth of the president if he can only muster $7000 for his letter.
