He should not step down. He should just not be elected Speaker in January.
Okay, so I guess Gibbs wins?

Step down for what reason?
Let the stepping down come from the top - Barry. Ping me when there’s a thread about the NYT calling for Barry to step down.
It doesn’t matter...
Any Republican is just another hussein with another face bringing complete marxism at a slower pace...

I agree with Clyde Wilson that America cant be saved or returned to its roots until the Republican Party is destroyed.

Of course the Democrat party, officially destroyed or not makes no diffreence—the “poor” will always be with us.
Those who want their King will see that we have it—come hell or high water.
This is helpful now how exactly?! Good Lord....
Seems to me he just took away the zero’s talking point.
Boehner has it right and gives Obama the finger.Obama could care less about the middle class or he wouldn’t hav pimped and passed Obamacare so the middle class will have to pay for the next 200 years and don’t get started about the stimulus bag of crap Obama’s an idiot and dangerous sob.
Never trust a man who values a good sun tan.
Boehner is exactly what is wrong with the GOP...many others need to go to...
I am opposed to this type of nonsense right now. We have an election to win, a madman to stop, a time enough to determine our leadership and — see steps above — show them how we will hold them accountable.
I see nothing wrong with his comment. Politics is the art of the possible. Saving tax cuts for 90% taxpayers is better than not saving them for anyone.
As I have said before, I don't get the contempt for Boehner that is so common around here. For two reasons. First, he's no RINO. His lifetime ACU rating is in the mid 90s. Second, he has done an impressive job of holding the GOP caucus together. It's not easy to convince 178 people to all vote the same way. But he did it on important issues, like the healthcare debacle.
We could do a lot worse than Boehner in the speaker's chair.
Barry set a trap: force the Republicans to oppose a Democrat sponsored tax cut just before the election. By saying what he said, Boehner sprung the trap. Because of that, there will be NO Obama tax cut before the election, and Obama will have to veto the ones after, unless he is forced by public pressure to sign them.
Count me in!
What’s the use of regaining power when you will have John Bonehead as the leader.
Once he hains power he will cut off the Tea Party at it’s knees. Wait and see.
DUMP HIM!
I think Congress should pass a 500% tax on tanning salons—just for John Boehner
You and others here really, really need to learn to play poker, what goes on in DC is not always what you see or what someone says.
This is not the time for infighting. Defeating the Democrats should be our one and only focus.
