Now the House is going to swing wildly to the GOP. I'd say he deserves some of the credit. For the life of me I can't uderstand the "Failed" comment.
The same is even MORE TRUE of McConnell. He had a fillibuster-proof Dem majority opposed to us. Despite this he managed to flumox Harry Reid over and over again, delyaing votes, finding the one Dem traitor needed to scuttle Harry's dingy plans. A weak hand very well played, in my opinion.
Boehner also made a very good speech a while back: Boehner Contra Obamacare, March 2010
That’s right. He wasn’t Speaker or Whip. He was Majority Leader.
And then he lost even worse as Minority Leader.
And then he failed on TARP.
He has repeatedly failed on messaging.
He’s a weak leader.
