Trusting Obama

The Speaker of the House trusts Barack Obama.

Okay, I know what you're thinking: "What's the punchline?" Yeah, there's not one. John Boehner says he "absolutely" trusts Barack Obama:

Boehner said "hope springs eternal" in regards to the possibility of a budget deal, and told (ABC News correspondent Martha) Raddatz that he has a "very good relationship" with President Obama and that he "absolutely" trusts him. He added that the president's recent outreach — or so called "charm offensive" -- intended to woo Republicans, is a "good thing."

It's nice to know that Boehner trusts Obama. I was worried that all the lies and tricks Obama had told and pulled over his life would make him untrustworthy. But Boehner can see right through that, and know that Obama can be trusted.

And that's good news. Boehner will be able to work with the president to make good things happen. I believe he'll work with Obama and deliver a good, workable plan for the future of the country. After all, Boehner delivers. Just think about how he managed to deliver his home state in the last election.

Now, don't you feel better?
