As The Orange One (aka Jim Boehner) comes out swinging against the financial reform package, the White House hit back. Robert Gibbs said that Boehner is out of touch with regular Americans.
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.
The one constiuancy that Boehner has not lost was that of the Ooompa-Loompas.
