Best title: Obama Plants His Flag On Boehner’s Bridge

Obama Plants His Flag On Boehner’s Bridge

Susan Crabtree

President Obama is taking his message about the need to fix the country’s aging infrastructure and create jobs about as close as you can get to Speaker John Boehner’s (R-OH) district next Thursday. And he’ll have a pretty powerful visual behind him: Cincinnati’s crumbling Brent Spence Bridge.

The bridge spans Cincinnati and northern Kentucky. Obama plans to use the backdrop of the bridge to drive home the point that Congress should pass the American jobs Act in order to secure much-needed investments in infrastructure projects across the country and put more Americans back to work, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters Thursday.

The President mentioned the city’s aging bridge in his joint address to Congress last Thursday.

“There’s a bridge that needs repair between Ohio and Kentucky that’s on one of the busiest trucking routes in North America,” Obama said in his speech.

4. Every bridge in the country could disintegrate
over the river, pond, causeway and the Republicans would say No. They would probably try to make do with selling everyone canoes. The Republican party has become the enemy of the USA and we need to treat them accordingly. Cry Treason.

5. Connecting Ohio to Kentucky?
Mitch and the Boner will agree only if it can go backward in both directions.

7. We're driving down to Lexington in a week or so, and my husband
is planning the route to stay away from the bridges around Cincinnati. My understanding is that a 2nd major bridge there may be closed soon.
