Boehner vs. Obama(CNN) - He is poised to become the most powerful Republican in Congress if the GOP takes control of the House Tuesday. And Rep. John Boehner's ramping up the rhetoric in anticipation, going after the president. "We have a president in the White House who referred to Americans who disagree with him as 'our enemies,'" Boehner said Monday. "When Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush used the word 'enemy,' they reserved it for global terrorists and foreign dictators – enemies of the United States."

Michelle Obama says the truth is hardToday at a Harry Reid rally in Nevada First Lady Michelle Obama had this to say: "I know that for a lot of folks change has not come fast enough. But believe me it hasn't come fast enough for Barack or Harry either – not when so many families are still looking for work and struggling to pay the bills and worrying about how they are going to provide for their kids. No, it hasn't come fast enough. But I think that many of us came into this expecting to see all the change we talked about happen all at once, right away, the minute Barack stepped foot into the Oval Office....But, the truth is it is going to take a lot longer to dig ourselves out of this hole than any of us would like. The, the truth is this is the hard part of change. "

During a briefing on the Presidents upcoming Asia trip, Gibbs insisted that regardless of the outcome in the midterm elections it is still “a testament to the great American experience,” because it shows the global community how the U.S. “conducts elections” and brings about “electoral change in a peaceful way.”
