DAILY DOZEN: GAME ON - OBAMA V. GOP

Finally - after 20 months in office, President Obama has gone on the attack, specifically naming a Republican who has impeded his agenda. The guilty congressman? John Boehner. Yes, the unnaturally tan man. We all have heard Boehner openly discuss how he and his do nothing party would openly stand in the way of the President. It seems that, starting today, the President is ready to call him out. Beware Mitch McConnell and Eric Cantor. I suspect the President will have a few words for the two of you as well. The mid-term election campaign has officially begun!
