Speaker of the House John Boehner Used Taylor Swift GIFs to Complain About President Obama

After Obama revealed his proposal for free community college for Americans, this article popped up on speaker.gov

Hey, youths! In case you had trouble understanding President Obama's proposal to offer two years of free community college to Americans, House Speaker John Boehner is here to explain it to you cool kids! And in case you think his article will be a real snooze-fest, he's using Taylor Swift GIFs to mock our president!

That's right, the Speaker of the House (or at least his interns) posted an article on speaker.gov titled "12 Taylor Swift Reactions to President Obama's Free College Idea" that's basically tearing apart Obama's plan for free education. Here are some examples:

"Free?! Is he using magic money? Nothing is free. So we did a little math."

"Still, 60 billion dollars is a lot of money...you can't just shake it off."

"And the president knows full well there's no blank space in the taxpayers' checkbook."

"Looks like an apology is in order, Mr. President…"

Yeah, we forgot to mention that whoever wrote this used Taylor's song titles as wordplay, which is honestly the worst kind of play there is after "foul play" and a "seniors over 50 production of Rent" kind of play.

Look, we're all about GIF usage on the Internet, especially when it's a GIF of our queen Taylor Swift. But there is a time and place to do lists with GIFs (like here at E! Loves), and the Speaker of the House should never be using them. Just…no.

We understand you are trying to appeal to the young and hip, but when we read something like this, all we can think about is John Boehner basically doing this:

We can't take it seriously and we end up laughing at it. And we're not the only ones, as comments underneath the Taylor Swift GIF article brutally showed:

"Good to know my tax dollars go to funding Taylor Swift gifs being posted on an official government website."

"Way to post GIFs to criticize an actual plan without coming up with an alternative. Really helpful, thanks Boehner's interns."

"Putting the 'bae' in Boehner. Or something. See, I can be funny with the kids and stuff, too!"

"You are a grown man."

Or our personal favorite:

"no its becky." 

We are so for reaching out to the youth of America and making sure they care about important issues facing this generation and the next, but there has to be a less lame way to do it, right?
