I Hope He REALLY Means It

From House Majority Leader John Boehner’s blog:

Enclosed is the text of Mr. Boehner’s exchange with reporters, as well as an audio file and streaming audio link with his strongly worded response:

Q: “Despite the President’s veto threat, the Senate has added over $14 billion to the emergency supplemental bill…”

Majority Leader Boehner: “The House will not take up an emergency supplemental spending bill for Katrina and the War in Iraq that spends one dollar more than what the President asked for. Period.”

UPDATE, May 5: I didn’t even need to look into it to know, but both Ohio Senators DeWine and Voinovich voted for the bill that has the $14 billion added.
