House Republican Leader John Boehner weighed in on the Democrats’ “full-scale civil war” this morning at a Capitol Hill press conference. “With all the trouble Democrats are in right now, it was only a matter of time before they took off the gloves. I just didn’t know their targets would be each other,” he said. “The panic building among Democrats erupted into a full-scale civil war when the President’s spokesman suggested his party could lose the House this fall.”

“I understand House Democrats are angry: they see the White House throwing them under the bus,” Boehner continued. “But let’s not forget: House Democrats gave President Obama every dollar, every tax hike, every ‘stimulus’ program, and every government takeover he asked for. The one thing the American people asked Democrats to do was say ‘no’— and they never did.”

Boehner also took a shot at the White House: “Desperate times call for desperate measures, so President Obama brought in Warren Buffett and President Clinton this week to help him communicate with the business community. It is troubling that at a time when Americans are asking ‘where are the jobs?’ the president has no credibility with the people who create them. Every time the president has had a chance to help small businesses, he has turned his back and doubled down on Washington ‘stimulus’ spending.”
