John Boehner Battling Faxes As Voters Demand Jobs

WASHINGTON (LALATE) – John Boehner is battling not Democrats but fax requests today. Voters are launching a fax-John Boehner campaign today asking “where the jobs are”. In the last half hour, Twitter has been dominated with re-tweets of voters asking Boehner to reveal job creation details, namely when jobs will come and where.

In the summer, John Boehner called upon Barack Obama to fire his economic advisers. While voters may have given Republicans control of the House on Tuesday, they are not given either party a honeymoon on solving the economy and unemployment. And while Boehner is expected to cut the Office of Congressional Ethics and make changes on earmarks, that in voters minds today has nothing to do with job creations.

Boehner said at a news conference yesterday, “it’s time for us to roll up our sleeves and get to work… I think that it’s a mandate for Washington to reduce the size of government and continue our fight for smaller, less costly and more accountable government.”

“Please join me in faxing John Boehner’s office 2 ask where the jobs are” states a twit-campaign today. Voters are hoping that their shift in the balance of power Tuesday will result in changes to current unemployment problems. As the Hill notes today, “Voters in the last three elections have been angry, leading to two Democratic waves and a GOP wave on Tuesday. To protect his majority, Boehner will need to convince voters that the Republican House is taking steps to fix the nation’s ailing economy.”

2. Welcome to the shitstorm you helped create
Mr. Tan Man, party of No. Hope that gavel makes it all worth it and you don't go from tan to grey. Oh wait, grey would be good.

20. I wrote a song calling him Mr. Tan Man --(Mr. Sandman)
sorta fits him.... I posted the first couple of lines

Mr. Tan Man show us your schemes
They'll be the most crooked and lying it seems
Got them I guess from your boy Rove-er
Tell the corporations there worries are over

I think these describe him.....perfectly

I asked the husband what's up with that? He was surprised as well. You know - you come home from the beach and your tan just falls off. :rofl: Mine does.

25. The Republican House is surely taking numerous steps to fuck over workers, the middle class, and we
the people in countless ways which will be more abundantly clear with each passing day. Keeping meaningful tax burden off Corporations and the most affluent will be job #1, keeping the Defense Department fully bloated and wars raging job #2, and fucking over the people will be a requisite for fulfilling jobs #1 and #2. :patriot:

32. Cry me a River
Congratulation Mr. Speaker. I am sending you a case of Kleenex for your office. Please use freely
either to wipe your tears after each speech or to wipe off the tanning gel that is streaking down your face. I also went to the extra expense of sending you the song "Cry me a River" which hopefully will be played when you enter the chamber.

p.s. Bonehead Dems. You think once during this election they would have pointed out that Obama created more jobs than Bush & the Republican thugs did during the 8 years the reigned

41. Well, after Michele Bachman's repeat of the bogus $200 million
a day trip on national television, the Office of Congressional Ethics needs to be saved. If we want to save this country time and money, we can start by writing some Congressional ethics rules that allow for a Congressperson who intentionally and deliberately lies on national television to the American people be kicked out of Congress. Give her a one-way ticket home on Greyhound with a message to the people of her district that her disgraceful behavior has cost them representation for two years.

It's not like they really had any to begin with - but this country could save a lot of wasted time and money addressing manufactured lies if we just kicked the perpetrators to the curb. The people who stupidly voted this professional liar into office should be ashamed enough to do a better job of finding someone honest next time.
