John Boehner 1- Barack Obama 0

It has begun! I'm late on this but it's worth noting.

Yesterday I blogged about how Boehner was going to take Obama to task for talking about "enemies" to describe American citizens who he said Latino voters had to "punish" over policy differences.

Before the Speaker in waiting could make his speech, Obama surrendered but not gracefully.

"Now the Republicans are saying that I'm calling them enemies," Obama said. "What I'm saying is you're an opponent of this particular provision, comprehensive immigration reform, which is something very different."

I love how he tries to make the Republicans the bad guys. How dare they accurately reflect what he said! That's racist or something.

Liberals are forever going on about super smart they are and how dumb Republicans are yet it seems they are the ones who so often need to explain what they really meant was something entirely different from the actual meaning of the words they used.

Still pretty cool that he's already reacting to Boehner. The Republicans need to keep the pressure up. Obama is not accustomed to being challenged, he doesn't handle it well.

Character comes though in adversity and Obama's is petty and ugly. The more that's shown, the better it will be for Republicans.
