Here is an excerpt from a statement from House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) earlier today.

[T]he president continues to blame anyone and everyone for the drought but himself.

Yes! John Boehner, laying it on the line. Why doesn’t the president accept the blame for the massive affliction that is almost unprecedented in national history? I bet John Boehner would, if he were president.

Here are some thoughts.



All of that said, it’s possible that Boehner is right. There were some weird lights over Nebraska last July, as captured in this very professional video:

Is it possible that this was the Air Force, acting on the president’s command, unleashing some new superstructure that would empty the skies of moisture for a period of 12 to 18 months? It would be a smart thing to do, given that the drought will probably hurt Obama’s chances of being reelected. If this is what happened, my apologies, Speaker Boehner.

But tell Paul Ryan he should still answer reporters’ questions.
