House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) says he was “pushed…into this fight to defund Obamacare” and that those who pushed him “never really thought it would work.”
In his weekly press conference yesterday, Rep. Boehner said defunding Obamacare wasn’t his idea, but that of conservative groups—and he doesn’t care what they do next. …

They sat down next to the Pelosis.
And you can’t live within a movie. God has served THIS up to you. What will you do with it, once your wishbone has been exercised sore?
Hmm. Sobel autocorrected to Sibelius
I really think they are blackmailing him. I imagine there is an 8 x 10 color glossy of him somewhere with someone other than his wife in a position that is not flattering or his donors are telling him no more money unless he goes along with a liberal agenda. His tone has changed for the bitter since 2011 or so. I mean who in their right mind would publicly say your constituents are wrong and pathetic? It doesn’t make sense to me.I hope he loses his seat.
Agreed.
He could even put up a TOKEN fight and be more respected.
C'mon John at least PRETEND there's a reason to vote for republicans.
Right now I see none.
Hey Boehner is there ANYTHING that you will fight against the democrats on?
Just ONE damn thing.
Oh, I watch it for inspiration.
Those guys are not a movie. They are real. Just learned all about Shifty Powers.
My own uncle was a Screaming Eagle. Shot down in 1945 on a jump.
Buried in Aachen. His sister, old as she was, was a very dear friend and aunt. She got the telegram. Still have it.
There’s more to it.
I consider myself properly pushed, anyway.
I have no confidence in Boehner whatsoever so I am not sure where you got the impression that I am ‘looking to Boehner’. I have posted for longer than most anyone about the corruption of DC and of Boehner.
Your analysis was that we should stop focusing about replacing Boehner and look at who might replace him. My remarks were aimed at saying we can’t know who will replace him but we must create an environment whereby real leaders can emerge.
Oh he’s gonna get pushed alright, right off the national stage!! We’ve had enough of you and Cantor’s and Rubio’s fake crusading. Thank you for your efforts, it’s time to give someone else the opportunity.
I just think something has changed with him. If you could go back and see footage of him lets say around 2009 and 2010 and perhaps some of 2011 he was against Obamacare and seemed to be on the side of Conservatism but as of late he seems to have gone the opposite direction why do you think that is.
A number of nominal “Tea Party” politicians have made sudden about-faces as well.
Sad that some can not stand by their convictions or are just
liars stepping on the American people to get more power over them. Frankly I am at the point that I almost do not trust any politician and I only have disdain for them.
Pitiful poor John.They made him do it.
Was Boehner pushed into twisting arms when he fought back a challenge to his Speakership after the 2012 election?
Why is Boehner so strong when he's attacking his own caucus, but so weak when confronting Democrats?

If ya can’t take the heat, RESIGN. Bonor is a feckless pile of beetle dung.
Money will be collected from the few remaining taxed workers left in America and sent to Washington earmarked for health care payments and find like social security it gets put in the pot and spent on bridges to Tehran or to send flowers to the Danish PM.
Meanwhile payments to hospitals and providers, nurses, physicians and the ancillary staffs drop and the health care system collapses.
Sure some must die so that others may send flowers and build bridges in Tehran.
They are Broke and desperate!
Finally, we would be better off if the governing system collapsed as we can band together for protection, and the state and county takes care of schools and roads, but I cannot take my own appendix out.
Boehner is unhinged from principle or vision. He swims in a cesspool.
“Wow. He really doesn’t want the job.”
Think you have it confused. He wants to hold ont his job. Hats why he pivoted to the left. His base is now liberal republicans, not conservatives.
