How Did Boehner Win Back Angry Rep. Peter King After No Sandy Vote? ‘A Joking Obscene Reference With a Smile’ and an ‘I Love You’

Peter King Backtracks on Boehner Criticism Over Hurricane Sandy Vote

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., left, joined by other New York area-lawmakers affected by Superstorm Sandy, express their anger and disappointment after learning the House Republican leadership decided to allow the current term of Congress to end without holding a vote on aid for the storm’s victims, at the Capitol in Washington, early Wednesday, Jan. 2, 2013.

Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) on Thursday walked back his blistering criticism of the House Republican leadership for scrapping a vote on Hurricane Sandy aid, saying it was “shock therapy.”

“I stand by what I said at the time. I thought it was time for shock therapy, which is why I said it,” King said on NBC’s “Today.” “If we do not get this aid, this would be disastrous for the people of New York. This wasn’t some special gimmick we were looking for. This is life and death. I have people in my district living in the back of cars, living in dilapidated homes.”

The vote on a $60 billion aid package had been expected late Tuesday night after the vote to avert the “fiscal cliff.” Instead, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) canceled the vote, prompting a storm of fury from King and other New York-area lawmakers, as well as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R).

King in particular called the speaker’s actions “an absolute disgrace” and urged New Yorkers not to give “one penny to congressional Republicans.” Boehner subsequently set two votes for Sandy relief.

“What’s done is done. The fact is, when the money was on the line yesterday, when the decision had to be made, John Boehner made the right decision. John Boehner agreed to put it all on the calendar,” King said on NBC. “If we’re going to carry grudges for the rest of our lives, we’ll never get anything done.”

King wouldn’t discuss the specifics of his meeting with Boehner, except to say the speaker made “a joking obscene reference with a smile and then he said ‘I love you’ and then we went into the meeting.”

The Washington Post’s Jason Horowitz, who chronicled King’s flame-throwing day, tweeted that the word Boehner used to greet him was “a–hole.” The expletive also came a few days after the speaker reportedly told Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, “Go f–k yourself.”

“It was actually very cordial, very businesslike, but at the end of the meeting John and I shook hands, he actually walked with me, opened the door, and he said we’ll be friends,” King said on NBC. “I do consider John Boehner a friend, which is what really hurt the other day…I felt I had to do what I did for the voters of my district, John said he understood that, he said he understood the pressure, he understood the suffering and he said he had to make a decision.”

King added, “He thought there was too much going on. I disagree with that but he’s the speaker and the fact that he came around so quickly and he’s willing to work with us and get it on the calendar, I give him credit for that.”

      @VoiceoftheMajority: Even your login moniker is a lie. You are in fact a minority, but admittedly a very vocal minority; and you have it completely backwards! 99% of liberals are the uneducated, brainwashed fools of which a large number are parasites who have figured out that they can vote money and benefits for themselves by electing liberals instead of educating themselves and becoming productive members of society. OWS brought out the worst of these douche bags.

      This is why our country is dangerously close to declining into what you yourself would probably call a Utopian society– where everyone is equally miserable.

      Once the hard working producers are gone who is going to pay your bills and put food on your table?

      You will suddenly realize (acutally you won’t but most will) that B.O. fundamentally transformed a once great country into the former 70′s era Soviet Union.

      As previously stated by others, it is sad that people like you are even allowed to vote. Indoctrination, not education, is your downfall, and you don’t even know it.

Worked well for the Jews when the Germans were in control, The only issue was life for the Jews was a little on the short side. some were very young when they were walked into the gas chambers or simply shot along side the road. Worked well for the Russians under Stalin oh that’s right he starved and murdered 10 of thousands of HIS OWN PEOPLE. Voice of the ass just has not figured out his history,still a kid or is a flaming liberal who is to retarded to take care of themselves.

      VoiceoftheMajority, I couldn’t care less if I’m part of the 99%. Unlike you, I don’t sit around envying what other people have and am very content with my own blessings. You’re nothing but a thief, who elects people you think will steal money from you neighbors so you can get stuff you wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford. How about we take some of your money and send it to people in Kenya? Here’s a newsflash for you: If you make more than $34,000 a year, you’re part of the top 1% wealthiest elite in the world. Stop complaining about what you don’t have and learn to be content with what you do have.

      As far as me not being very Christ like when it comes to politics, I’m guilty as charged. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have the patience of Christ when it comes to dealing with people like you; however, fortunately for you, your salvation isn’t dependent on me. I suggest you get to know Christ so you spend less time concentrating on what your neighbors have and more time on how fortunate you are to live in the most blessed nation on earth. Even if you live in one of the worst government run ghettos in America, billions of people around the world would give their right arms to have your life.

I see the loyal Party members clamoring to take up all the guns, just like every totalitarian regime in history has done. I see the Party elite making tons of money of inside deals (hey Al Gore, want some more?) while the masses pay the freight. I see class warfare, with the Party pitting the “majority” against those who are rich (in an ever changing definition of rich–hey, now we’re all rich!!). I see the media prostituting itself to the Party, just like it’s done in every other third world country in history. In short, I see the end.

      Yes very good WHINEDUNCE…you’re getting your Alinsky on like a true acolyte. Conservatives are all white, extremist, out of touch, ad nauseum. You’re repeating what you’ve been conditioned to repeat.
      You ignore Obama’s reckless spending, over-regulation and over-taxation (and he says he hasn’t even started yet on that score) that’s keeping millions of Americans unemployed or under-employed. You’re ignoring how the deficit keeps rising under B Hussein Obama. You’re ignoring how the thoughtlessness of Obamacare has forced companies like Darden Restaurants to reduce the hours of their employees..thus forcing those employees to find second part-time jobs so that they can afford to pay for coverage decreed by the individual mandate of Obamacare.
      I’ll tell you straight…right now you’re winning the propaganda war with your Alinsky tactics but things are beginning to turn around..you lefties are so comfortable in the culture you’ve created that you can’t see conservatives and independents have got your number now and will give back as good as you give them.
      Alternative media is beginning to whittle away at your influence. See..you lefties rely on conservatives being just that “conservative” but you ignore how effective they can be when they’re motivated. Tea parties you say? It was the tea parties that gave the GOP the biggest victory in the house in 70 years. All you’ve demonstrated with your Alinsky blather is that you’re asleep at the wheel

      You are tied consistently to the audience at the Lakemba Mosque in Sydney, Australia in 2010, with your unfortunate comments at the time. These are now viral. YOU WROTE: “…You’ll recall the groups of muslim youth a few years ago that would prowl Aussie beaches leering at and insulting Aussie women? Our beaches in Sydney are topless which seems to both repulse and titilate muslim men. It got so bad that violence broke out at the beaches and nationalist groups came to the area creating an even more volatile environment… ”

      “OUR?” What American calls Sydney beaches “ours?” Foolishly, you left behind your hate filled posts too old to “edit.” This must make you crazy, because you are too duplicitous and vain to admit you are just a foreigner giving bilious advice and teachings to honest Americans who trust you.

What many people do not understand is that these spending bills have other bills attached that are often totally unrelated. It is like a shark that has all those sucker fish attached all over. They send bills up into congress loaded like this. I don’t like anyone living in their car or street but 60 Billion dollars for Sandy Hurricane Relief? I know people who could get stuff done for so much less. This is just Pork Barrel Spending. These people are disgusting!

      Amen. I, too, am a New Yorker. For the life of me I do not understand why my hard-earned tax dollars should be taken and handed to people who chose to build a home on sand at the water’s edge, whether it be on Staten Island, in Brooklyn, in Florida, on the Gulf coast, on the Pacific coast, in Seward, Alaska, or on the banks of the Mississippi River…and then REBUILD it when it is washed away. If you choose to live at the shoreline, that is certainly your right (yes, I know in some cases even a necessity depending on your line of work)…but do NOT expect me to pay for it when a big wave comes and washes it away. That is what insurance is for. If you want to gamble by living in a flood zone be my guest…but I am getting awfully tired of paying for the cleanup. King and Christie can both shove it.

    “Super Storm” Sandy was a Category 1 storm. NY and NJ should shut up and WALK IT OFF!! So, the storm damaged some multi-million dollar vacation homes and flooded some basements. That’s what you get when you build near an ocean. FEMA sends out a form every year for home owners to sign/return that acknowledges that the property owner needs insurance and especially flood insurance. Why [rhetorically] do the feds spend money rebuilding homes that slide off hill, burn in a dry forrest, or flood near an ocean/river? We know part of the answer is that NY and NJ need to replenish their union pension funds.

      Like your term and its definition. It also proves that the Peter Principle is wrong. In Congress one doesn’t just rise to the level of one’s incompetence, but actually soars above it.

    Boehner should know all about ares holes seeing as he’s one of the biggest ones on the Hill at the moment. He needs to just take a permanent smoke break in his tanning bed and just go away.

    I havent seen the $27 Billion dollar bill details , but I would assume (you know what they say about assume) that 27 Billion went to the Sandy victims this year . Now if I read it right because of all the chastising by the Democrats Boehner has split the original bill in half for a vote. The part of the original bill that actually went to the Sandy Victims , from the Senate split $30 Billion over three years only $8 Billion in 2013 according to the CBO . Did the Sandy Victims realy make out ?

      The truth never gets old but mccain gets older and older and older. I love how we are supposed to believe that mccain is an honorable man even after he left his sick wife to fend for herself. Palin should have had bristols knees sewn together. Plus i think tripp was just god just throwing her a little karma.

    Perhaps King and Christie can now go around soliciting GOP monies from their constituents to undo the “shock therapy”. They’re going to get plenty of Republican tax dollars. My guess is that the 47% won’t kick in much.

    Maybe Boehner “won back King”, but the Sandy Hurricane Victims are still without funds.
    Note that Hurricane Katrinia has aid in 10 days…..nothing racial about that one !
    Aid to Pakistan…….BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
    Aid to Egypt…………BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
    Aid to the rest of the Middle East……….BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
    Aid to Mexico (WTF ?) …………….BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
    And who are the countries that came to Hurricane Sandy’s Victims ?…..Israel and Canada
    Thank you Israel and Canada……we will never complain about the aid the USA gives you.

    And to Boehner …..SHAME ON YOU ! Hope you are never elected for any office in the future.
    Gov. Christie should send you a dead rat.

      Hey JERK, I say that we can live next to the water if we want. What really needs to happen is the Federal Government needs to get entirely out of the insurance business and in particular it’s legal lock on flood insurance. Then, if companies want to offer it, let those who want it pay for it. You sound more like a lefty practically every day.

      Not all damages are covered by the insurances you keep mentioning. In particular flooding isn’t covered. if you don’t get the money from the government you don’t get it at all as flooding is covered exclusively by the feds for some reason.

      Yeah, and I’m damned tired of hurricanes on coastal areas being “big surprises” every freaking year.

      You live there? Get insurance. You want me to bail you out year in and year out? Get bent!

      I was thinking the same thing, hauschild. Why bother with insurance if the government is going to bail you out? It’s why a lot of people will drop their health insurance when Obamacare goodies start rolling in.

      HAUSCHILD, I like the idea of letting others pay for their insurance especially for flood zones. But, it is the federal government that does not allow other companies to offer their own flood insurance. It can come in package deals, but floods are only covered by the federal government by law.

    Both of them are a joke and need to be fired and tried for Treason! Actually I think when Obama gives his Inaugural address/State of the Union when all of the House Reps, Senators, Judges, VP and President are all in one place would be the perfect time to fire them all! And then charge them with Treason for not upholding the Constitution.

    Will someone have the courage to say it like it is and stand by what they said? Is this bill full of pork? Is there anyone in Congress that will work for the American people and not spend us into oblivion? I’d like to throw them all out, every last one of them, including the president. Term limits has to become a reality. These are power hungry people that get rich being in Congress. They are all corrupt.

      Whether the GOP is “dead” or not remains to be seen. My hope is that these fiscal hawks, these Tea Party people who will stand their ground, will take the GOP over by doing another rope a dope like they did in 2010. They were quite busy trying to unseat Obama and they were stretched too thin. But, now I hope they will regroup and refocus. I think Boehner is toast in Ohio. I think Cantor will replace him. I hope. I don’t have this fatalistic view like most do on this website that both parties are the same. I think these TEa Party people will come roaring back. There are too many fiscal hawk conservative people in the United States who are still willing to fight. I know plenty. Don’t count the GOP out just yet. Expect these Tea Party people to get in their people. When Boehner axed those Tea Party Republicans on that committee he screwed himself royal.
