Boehner: Obama doesn't have 'the guts' to tackle deficit


House Speaker John Boehner, in advance of President Obama's State of the Union address, said Tuesday that he doesn't think the president "has the guts" to seriously address the country's debt and deficit.

The speaker aired his concerns during a breakfast outside his office on Capitol Hill with anchors and reporters covering Obama's address Tuesday night.

He said he's pessimistic about the odds the president will tackle the country's long-term spending problem, which he sees as the biggest threat to America's future.

"I don't think he has the guts to do it. He doesn't have the courage to take on the liberal side of his own party -- never has," Boehner said.

The speaker said, judging by the tone and tenor of the inaugural address, "I would expect tonight to be more partisan."

If Oblunder starts in on the Repubs they should all get up and walk out.

What a message that would send.

And, Boehner does?

This pResident needs to have it made very clear to him that he has divided the country like no other POTUS and will only drive the rift further until there is a complete blow out.

Then God help us all.
