So you base all your opinion on rumor? You guys want to see crooked look at Chicago politics, where your leadership is from.
This is a fact. He has publicly apologized.

Did you completely miss the news that the House has taken it's first step in repealing Obamacare? That's sounds like a pretty big program being cut there.
Here it is. Scheduled for 5 days from now, the same day Republicans actually take control of the House:
When it comes to those smear lie tactics they sure take the front seat. Think about how miserable they must be.IMO he was simply refusing to give any definite answer at this time so as not to allow the liberal media to start their smear/lie campagin. Which they will.
Obamacare is actually health insurance reform and repeal doesn't have a snowball's chance of passing. Genuine budget cuts mean upsetting people and/or special interests. Beyond token measures, like eliminating bottled water, we're not likely to see many meaningful cuts.Did you completely miss the news that the House has taken it's first step in repealing Obamacare?

House Republicans waste no time in new year, scheduling vote to repeal Obama's health care reform
I agree that you have to have boots on the ground in certain hot spots. Like S.Korea and Turkey. But Germany. Who's going to attack them? France? We can deploy so much destruction on any givin country in a matter of minutes. And there are so many other places the government wastes money. I agree.
John Boehner Can't Think Of A Single Government Program He Would Cut
Yep. The GOP speaker of the house can't think of a SINGLE PROGRAM that we should be cutting. Holy crap man, where do I start? This is a joke.
We have troops all over the world defending other countries. We are really being used!!!
The House will vote to repeal Obamacare, not because it can actually be repealed - how could it when Obama will never sign it?
By voting to repeal, they force the Democrats to either defend a program that is very unpopular, or they draw some Dems over to their side, paving the way for repeal down the road.
You guys are constantly disappointed that politics is some other kind of thing than it is. Politics is a certain kind of game, and it always has been, long before our country was founded.
Read the history of our country in depth, and you'll see it's always been this way, even during our founding. Reality is what it is, not what we wish it was.
I think your missing the point of his answer. He knows how the game is played, and how the media works. IMO he was simply refusing to give any definite answer at this time so as not to allow the liberal media to start their smear/lie campagin. Which they will.
Time will tell WHAT the new Speaker is going to do. Besides, he has already stated that there will be a vote on repealing ObamaCare. It won't go anywhere, but it will be symbolic. ObamaCare is one of the MAIN reasons the Democrats were spanked in November.

The base in Germany provides a vital staging location for our military. Take note of where our injured are taken. First stop is Germany. We have excellent medical facilities established there far from the scene of operations.
It is (approximately) a ten hour flight to Germany. We can build up our supplies in a safe location and transport to closer depots more readily from Germany than from here.
It may be possible to reduce the size of our base there, but I would think there is merit in maintaining a base closer to our, currently, vital supply lines (oil) and most dangerous trouble spot.
I am not military-trained, but keeping a base in Germany makes sense to me given our current status as the world's policeman and our involvement int the mid-East. Change those two things and we probably do not need the base in Germany—but that is another discussion.
To some of us, anybody under 40 is a kid. I don't think the statement was meant to offend.Kids?
