‘‘I believe that we can do this,’’ House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after top lawmakers met with Obama at the White House.

I hope the Red States decide to secede to form a more perfect union based on limited govt and a balanced budget that will protect our currency and our kids futures. If they'd accept me despite my MA origin, I would move down to Nuevo USA in a heartbeat.
