In an amazing bit of hypocritical blather, hopeful future Speaker of the House John Boehner says it would be reasonable for President Obama to start agreeing with GOP policies and platforms if Republicans win Congressional majorities in November.

Politco reported this gem in the context of an article where Boehner is saying it isn’t the goal of his party to shutdown the federal government.  Rather, Boehner pushes the blame to Obama claiming that if a shutdown happens it will be because Obama didn’t respect a mandate from the voters.  Said Boehner:

“If we take the majority, that should be a good indication to the president that the American people have not agreed with his policy and his platform. And that they agree with ours. And I think that would give him some reasonability,” he said. “And it wouldn’t come to a confrontational situation. I hope it would never get to that point.”

Is Boehner somehow forgetting that Democrats have enjoyed a similar voter mandate for the last two years by holding majorities in both chambers of Congress as well as the Presidency, and the GOP has not only disagreed with them, but ultimately fought them tooth and nail on virtually every position and policy put forth?

It’s going to be an ugly 2011.
