Well it seems that the people of Ohio don’t like Orange and Boehner  used in the same sentence. In a recent poll conducted by Public Policy Polling, Boehner’s own constituency claims that they think their represented senator spends too much time in the Orange salon. I mean the tanning salon.

John from Orange Boehner

But Boehner’s popularity, or lack thereof, is not just limited to the Tanning Salon.

Around 44% of Ohio voters prefer someone else to be House Speaker, while only 28% say they don’t mind having orange juice doing Nancy Pelosi’s present job.

Time Spent Tanning

The poll was released on September 3^rd in John Boehner’s home state of Ohio, and interviewed 475 participants. It found that 30% of voters found that Boehner spend too much time working on his tan, while 14% says that they approve of the time spent to achieve the orange glow. 4% says that he does not spend enough time, while 51% says they’re not sure.

What about the Tan?

It’s not only the time Boehner spends in the Tanning Salon that’s causing some unease in Ohio. Boehner’s tan itself is causing some restlessness. When asked if they approved of the orange glow, 8% said yes, they approved while 24% disapproves.

Umm, yea. So, it's like,  I am Jan Brewer, and I am Jan Brewer.... Look at all the things I've done for Arizona...... um, hmmm, yea... I um, ...... I want you to know that I am Jan Brewer, and also remember that I am Jan Brewer....... How 'bout them Phoenix Suns? You think it's gonna rain soon?

Umm, Jan Duh Brewer

Well that wasn't exactly what Jan Brewer said in the opening statement of  the Arizona Governor Debate, but it might have worked better. Telling the audience that her name is Jan Brewer over and over again, would have given more info than the words Mrs. Brewer used.

After hearing her introduction, Jan Brewer pulled out her prepared statement, and forgot how to read. When introduced to give her opening statement, Brewer said;

"Thank you all for watching us tonight. I have ah............done.........so much, and I just can't believe that we have change EVERYTHING since I became your governor some 600 days..... We have done everything that we could possibly do...................................(laughs)......................................We have done everything for Arizona."

There was no custom made flight-suit worn, no Navy S-3B Viking jet on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, and no banner unfurled behind the president reading, “Mission Accomplished." No, this time around, 2,679 days after the original "Mission Accomplished" statement made by former president George Bush, the new president, Barack Obama sat behind a desk in the White House with a few family pictures seen behind him, and proclaimed that the combat mission in Iraq is finally and officially over.

President Obama with Troops

Today, August 31st, 2010, President Obama brought an end to the invasion of Iraq that began on March 20th, 2003, saying;

"I am announcing that the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country."

The president went on to admit that removing combat troops does not mean Iraq is finally free of violence. He said that "extremists will continue to set off bombs, attack Iraqi civilians and try to spark sectarian strife. But ultimately, these terrorists will fail to achieve their goals."

The President also detailed the new mission in Iraq, stating that "a transitional force of U.S. troops will remain in Iraq with a different mission: advising and assisting Iraq’s Security Forces; supporting Iraqi troops in targeted counter-terrorism missions; and protecting our civilians."

President Obama also thanked former President George W. Bush for his support of our troops, love for his country and his committment to our nation's security. The President also pointed out the fact that he was not in favor of this war, saying "it’s well known that he and I disagreed about the war from its outset."

He then outlined the cost of the war, stating;
