Asked repeatedly if he favors a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal aliens, Boehner told CBS's "Face the Nation" that his job is not to take a stand, but to let the House "work its will."

He’s spot on. This is a contentious issue and he’s holding the House. We need to take the Senate and not dish out ammunition to the enemy.

I sure do. Look, I can’t produce a college certificate or anything like it, but I have put in the hours and deserve to be recognized has having the equivalent of a Doctorate in getting in trouble. You would think this could be converted into something useful, but there again, I have proven it can’t. LOL

I think maybe he’s confused as to which country he’s in. The Speaker of the House of Commons has a job like he describes. He needs to be reminded he’s got the role analogous to Prime Minister — albeit only within the legislative branch.

Yea, but my offices wouldn’t get gubament funding, and I’d be burned out within the first week.

Boehner our immigration system is NOT BROKEN. The problem is that the immigration laws have not been enforced.

Which translation of the Bible is that from?

Dems: strong leadership for bad if not evil.
Repubs: weak leadership for good if not ‘ok’.
Republican base’s woes: Stong enemies and weak friends.

(The question is not whether Obama ever lies, but whether he ever tells the truth.)
To: upchuck
That was the New International Version. I'm glad you asked. I should have used what I consider a better translation, the Lamsa Bible:
24 ¶ Now when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but that instead confusion was increasing, he took water and washed his hands before the people, and said, I am innocent of the blood of this righteous man; do as you please.
I suspect that Boehner, like Pilate, wanted the evil deed done by others if possible, so he could claim innocence. Boehner has made very strong hints in public that he wants citzenship for the Dreamers.

Well gosh darn, I’m at a loss. Perhaps Johnny would be better suited for a different job, like being Harry Reid’s butler or something.

Mr. Boehner, please step aside and let someone take your place who knows how to lead.
