Boehner: Obama Is In Denial

Soon-to-be House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Thursday that he isn’t sure whether President Barack Obama understands what voters were tellng him earlier this week when they elected an overwhelming number of Republicans to office.

Boehner told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer that “there seems to be some denial on the part of the president and other Democratic leaders of the message that was sent by the American people.”

Obama’s reaction to big GOP gains in Tuesday’s elections, said Boehner, reflects his view that Americans have not flat-out rejected his handling of the country so far in office.

“When you have the most historic election in over 60, 70 years, you would think the other party would understand that the American people have clearly repudiated the policies they’ve put forward in the last few years,” Boehner said.
