Boehner Confronts Obama on Phone Call

Commentary Magazine  (Excerpts) "As The Hill reports, the call was supposed to be a congratulatory one – Obama was pleased the House passed the free trade agreements he’s been promoting–but it quickly turned serious when Boehner confronted the president about his distortions of the Republicans’ jobs plan."  ....

The Speaker reminded the President that House Republicans put forth a ‘Plan for America’s Job Creators’ in May, and noted that he and other members of the GOP leadership team have spoken with the President and his staff about the plan and referenced it on numerous occasions, in letters and elsewhere.

...."By pointing this out during a phone call – and providing a readout to the press – Boehner is making it difficult for Obama to keep claiming Republicans don’t have a plan for job creation. Clearly, the president is now fully aware of this plan, and will have to come up with something legitimate about which to criticize Republicans on the campaign trail."  Alana Goodman
 Here's The Hill's report. ...."By providing a rare readout of the call, Boehner’s office is trying to highlight that Obama is ignoring attempts by House Republicans to address the jobs crisis."

Boehner chastizes Obama for 'forgetting' about GOP jobs bill    "Obama does this kind of thing all the time and the press lets him get away with it: He lies about Republican bills that counter or complement what he himself is proposing."
....
"This is how Obama will run for re-election. And since the press won't call him out for his lies, it will be up to the GOP candidate to set the record straight."

A Republican jobs plan  "I’ve explained how I think the Republicans played this one wrong, setting up a perfect scenario for the class warriors to claim that Republicans killed the jobs bill to protect the rich. On top of that, the Republicans in the Senate got hit for the fact that they didn’t have an alternative plan to offer … until now."  Neal Boortz
