John Boehner’s departure creates uncertainty for President Obama

The resignation of Speaker John A. Boehner is sure to complicate life for President Obama, who was able to work with the Ohio Republican on occasion despite a contentious partisan relationship.

On major issues such as immigration reform, Mr. Obama has said publicly that the speaker is more moderate than the tea-party faction of House Republicans whom the White House blames for blocking most legislation. The president also has complained that Mr. Boehner is unable to deliver enough votes in various negotiations with the White House, and the departure of Mr. Boehner opens up the possibility that the new speaker would be more conservative.

What uncertainty? Obama’s Chicago goons will dig up stuff on McCarthy and blackmail him just like they were doing with Boehner.

This article is hysterical. 1) Boehner ALWAYS did Obama’s bidding, and 2) Obama couldn’t care less who the speaker is. With Boehner’s help he’s made congress irrelevant.

“Mr. Boehner is unable to deliver enough votes in various negotiations with the White House”

On the contentious issues, he shouldn’t have been trying to deliver votes for the White House.

The uncertainty will clear up once they have a name of the new speaker.

Intersting headline that no one saw the obvious in.

WHY would it create uncertainty? Because Barry lost a reliable ally? Because one Repub should be as bad as another if they were truly barry’s opposition.
