Speaker Boehner to Senate: Get Off Your AssJohn Boehner's vocabulary isnt exactly family-friendly these days.As the deadline to avoid the sequester approaches, the House Speaker is trying to pin the blame all over President Obama and the Democrats, arguing that his chamber has already passed two bills to avoid the across-the-board spending cuts.We should not have to move a third bill before the Senate gets off their *** and begins to do something, the Ohio Republican said on Tuesday.Looks like Boehner is losing his ****.Note to the Speaker.....the two bills you refer to were passed in the 112th Congress.They expired at the start of the new Congress this year.You haven't passed anything to avoid the across-the-board spending cuts during this session.And as Nancy Pelosi reminded you, the Constitution says that appropriations and revenue bills must begin in the House, not the Senate.
