Congressman call President Obama " Tar Baby". Wtf.

For some members, yes. But others won’t be attending the president’s annual address to Congress at all.
Denver’s Fox 31 reported Monday that Rep. Doug Lamborn, a three-term Republican congressman from Colorado, will not attend the State of the Union.

The station reported that, according to Lamborn’s office, the congressman “does not support the policies of Barack Obama,” including the president’s recent recess appointments and his administration’s rejection of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline.

Lamborn last made headlines in August, when he compared the idea of working together with Obama to “touching a tar baby.”

House Speaker cries foul before even hearing what he has to say.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Sunday panned as "pathetic" the 2012 agenda President Barack Obama plans to roll out Tuesday in his State of the Union address.

Boehner said he already "read a lot about what the president is going to talk about Tuesday night and it sounds to me like the same old policies we've been seeing: more spending, higher taxes, more regulations -- the same policies that haven't helped our economy. They've made it worse."

"If that's what the president is going to talk about Tuesday night, I think it's pathetic," the speaker said on "FOX News Sunday."
