John Boehner's Made Of Fail Statement On DOMA

Speaker of the House John Boehner, having been on the recieving end of the political hot potato that the Obama Administration tossed into his lap released a statement that's delirious and hilarious in its irony:

From AmericaBlog:

A spokesman for Boehner's office criticized the administration change of position.

'While Americans want Washington to focus on creating jobs and cutting spending, the President will have to explain why he thinks now is the appropriate time to stir up a controversial issue that sharply divides the nation,' said spokesman Brendan Buck."

Hilarious! While Boehner's tenure as Speaker has been characterized by his furious search for jobs in the wombs of women who wish to make their own reproductive choices, he's accusing Obama of "stirring up controversy" by essentially, ceding a fight.

The Obama administration just very wisely cleared their plate of this "controversial issue," Speaker Boehner. If this issue continues to generate controversy, it will be because members of your own caucus stepped up and did what the Department of Justice is no longer inclined to do: Defend DOMA in Court.

So, if you decry the continued controversy on this issue, Speaker Boehner, put the weight of your office behind that sentiment: Tell your caucus to let this go. Tell the House Republicans not to defend DOMA. And then, absent anyone to defend DOMA, the controversy will go away.

The ball's in your Court Speaker.



Do you want to concentrate on jobs? Or do you want your caucus to step up and defend DOMA?
