White House: John Boehner Way Out Of Touch To Call Financial Crisis An “Ant”

Thanks for really not caring, House Minority Leader.

Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, took aim at Mr. Boehner, who in a newspaper interview this week called the financial legislation nearing final approval an excessive response to the problem. ‘This is killing an ant with a nuclear weapon,’ Mr. Boehner told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Monday.

At his daily briefing, Mr. Gibbs said Mr. Boehner was ‘opening one’s mouth and removing most of the doubt that you’re completely out of touch with America,’ noting that millions of Americans lost their jobs or their savings because of the financial crisis that the legislation is intended to prevent. ‘It demonstrates how out of touch you are currently and it demonstrates exactly the type of mindset that he would bring to leading the House of Representatives,’ he added. 

Good for Gibbs to say what the press won't.
