He is supposed to be a leader. He is the Speaker of the House. He is supposed to be able to get the votes needed to resolve problems and help the people of this country.
But he is a whiny wimp. He has no business being in the position that he sits now. He is about the most worthless piece of excrement in the nation's capitol.
If he was a true leader, he would not be following the whims of the Tea Party at every turn, but he would be able to make his own decisions and get the support to help pass them. He would be working with the Democrats to try and find a compromise on the tough issues. But he had rather obstruct. He would prefer to do nothing than piss off the right-wingers in his Party. He is weak.
The sad fact is that nothing will ever get done so long as this guy is the Speaker.

(5,044 posts)Boehners days are numbered. The legislation coming down the barrel is unavoidable. I give Boehner 12 months before he either resigns, gets thrown under the bus by the Tea Party.
