Under the deft leadership of the great John Boehner, courageous House Republicans defeated a brazen attempt by Barack Obama to further cripple the already staggering U.S. economy with what experts agree would have been a devastating hike in the minimum wage.
"The 233-184 defeat also exposed divisions within the Democratic Party. Where Mr. Obama called for a hike from the current $7.25 to $9 an hour, congressional Democrats pushed for a $10.10 rate.
But they couldn’t muster unity even within their own ranks. Six Democrats from conservative-leaning districts voted against the wage increase, as did every single Republican who was present." *
One noted political analyst who knows everything said on condition of anonymity, "That John Boehner is amazing!"
Reaction on Main Street was equally enthusiastic. Typifying the strong sentiment of middle Americans one thankful citizen exclaimed, "It's a great day! Wow, without the House Republicans, we'd be completely screwed!"

Maybe you got the links mixed up?
No, he didn't get the links mixed up. He told the story in his own words but posted the link to the Washington Times.

I just checked with the ghost of Sun Myung Moon and he said he's okay with it since I put an asterisk linking the quote to the article from which it came.
