Boren Goes to White House

Rep. Dan Boren, D-Muskogee, and about 50 other conservative House Democrats known as “Blue Dogs” met with President Barack Obama on Tuesday night at the White House.

The president talked about the economy and his trips to Indiana and Florida to highlight rising unemployment and foreclosures.

Boren said the Blue Dogs said they wanted to work with him on entitlements (Social Security and Medicare) and so-called PAYGO legislation, which requires new spending to be offset with tax hikes or cuts elsewhere in the budget.

After about an hour, Boren said, the meeting ended when the president said he had to say goodnight to his daughters.

Dan Boren just voted for a 1 trillion dollar spending bill because that he didn’t even read. No one read it. He’s supposed to represent the people of Oklahoma and he didn’t even read it!!! Boren should be replaced with a blind monkey. Our representation would be just as informed.
