At the moment Boehner's hamhanded methods have made it seem as if HE's not a team player.

That's usually a bad sign in a Speaker ~ kind of like when Hastert had pretty much been told he had to clear the perverts out of the House and he sent a top staff guy, who was homosexual himself, to do the job.

Nobody had confidence in him at that point. Most likely Boehner doesn't have sufficient confidence among the House members to conduct real business.

He's not. Unless you mean the other team.
