House Republican Leader John Boehner delivers Weekly GOP Address

Once again, House Minority Leader John Boehner delivers the Weekly GOP Address.

Unfortunately, Democrats in Congress are busy making backroom deals so that they don't have to pass a budget this year. They'd rather keep on spending than seize this critical opportunity to create jobs and boost our economy. But every family knows that in tough times, passing a budget is more important – not less important.

Just as troubling is the fact that President Obama hasn't uttered a word in protest of Congressional Democrats' failure to produce a budget. Even after being presented with these economists' pleas for fiscal discipline, he still won’t press leaders in his own party to fulfill their responsibility to the American people.

This is a stunning failure of leadership – the kind of leadership President Obama promised to provide.
