He almost had it!
John Boehner actually had it for a second there. He actually seemed to understand that the record California drought is, at least in part, a result of man-made climate fuckuppery.
But then he decided that it was made by one man and that man is, of course, President Obama.
And he seems to be serious.
Speaker Boehner, or whoever ghost-posts on his Facebook page, put up this photo of what seems to be a perfectly reasonable sing from somewhere in the Golden State.
Other than the corny "Green to go Brown" line and maybe the fact that a 36% reduction in water usage is probably not enough, what objection could anyone have to this? Well, let's see:
Um, okay. . . Not really sure how scarcity is a "liberal ideology." Water is scarce in California. That isn't liberal or conservative or anything but the fact of the matter. They are running out of water.And when one is short on something, I'm not sure how trying to conserve what little you have is "backwards priorities." I guess the forward-thinking approach would be "Hey, Mr. Speaker, we're running out of Scotch. Let's just pour this last bottle down the drain."
If ever there was a phrase that perfectly encapsulates liberal environmentalists’ backwards priorities and regressive ideology of restriction and scarcity, it is the one now displayed on a government sign in Arcadia, California: “It’s ‘green’ to go brown.”
So, up 'til now, this post is merely stupid. But hold on to your hats & glasses, it's about to veer into crazy-town!
Visit http://j.mp/1M8kIay [delinked] to learn more about what Congress is doing to end President Obama’s man-made water shortage in the West and allow water resources to be managed in a way that actually makes sense.
Yes, obviously, President Obama has been preventing rain from falling West of the Sierra Nevadas. Obviously, the California water table is drying up because of oh, I don't know, let's say healthcare?
And I guess there's no snow-pack because um. . . treaty with Iran?
How in the hell can a climatalogical phenomenon be laid at the feet of the President? I mean, sure, his support of gay marriage is obviously going to cause floods. earthquakes, tornadoes and Kardashians, but this drought has been going on since before he even came around on that issue.
So, nice try Mr. Speaker, but now that I think about it you really weren't even that close.

Every time i see his name I read it as Boner. I just can't see it any other way.
Careful...Obama is coming to take your water and turn the entire country into a desert...for his Muslim friends waiting in the wings.
This should amaze me for it is truly and perfectly stupid, but the Republicans seem to be caught in a web of perfidy which disallows them the ability to think rationally about anything! Perhaps it's because Obama is 1/2 black. That alone has turned any number of Republicans upside down and inside out. I wish there was some way to take Boner and his friends and wash them clean but, alas, there is no soap strong enough.
