Is Boehner What We Want As Leader?

Remember the Obama administration’s illegal gunrunning operation called Fast and Furious?

BHO: An Epic Pretender — Redux

I wrote the following syndicated column June 15, 2010. I repost it here, to ask if Obama has done anything since I wrote this to convince you that he is worthy of another term?

This proves obama is not serious

Back in 2006, [then Senator Obama] joined with other Senate Democrats to vote against raising the debt limit, a measure supported by President George W.
