John Boehner has pointed to the recent congressional election results as some sort of mandate to President Obama that business as usual from him is not what the American people want.
I have very little respect for Boehner, his intellect, and I always know when he lies - his mouth is open. But even John Boehner knows what the real message of the last election was. It swung republican and extreme right only because most Americans didn't bother to vote. Disgusted with Boehner and his congressional colleagues - both republican and democrat, they just didn't bother. Reflective of their apathy, utter disgust, and lack of faith in congress and in our system of goverment, this last election cycle saw the worst voter turnout since 1942 - save for the fanatical right.
Of course Boehner knows this. Prior to the election he was all to aware of congress's 13% approval rating - and could of cared less. If he cared he'd have interpreted the approval rating and now the abysmal voter turnout as a mandate to congress. He doesn't - his political survival all that matters - after sating his greed, lust for power, and maintaining his staus quo.
