Speaker Boehner: “It’s Not My Job To Tell” Americans That Obama Is Not A Muslim
Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner appeared on Meet the Press with David Gregory and dismissed the idea that it was somehow his responsibility to stand up to the “ignorance” of some Americans still believing President Obama is a Muslim. Gregory questioned why as Speaker he doesn’t attempt to eliminate such misinformation, yet Boehner did not see that as his role.
Boehner argued “It’s not my job to tell the American people what to think. Our job in Washington is to listen to the American people.” Furthermore, he said he took Obama at his word that he’s a Christian and does believe he was born in Hawaii. However, Boehner stressed, the “American people have the right to think what they want to think.”
Given that Obama’s religion continues to be a controversial issue, from people still thinking he is a Muslim to others like Bill Maher considering him to be a “secular humanist” instead of a Christian, Boehner may be right to focus on spending rather than being concerned with attempting to get all Americans to agree on any “facts.”
