    And here I thought they were buds because they use the same skin tone specialist? Boehner represents what is wrong with American politics.

    Boehner needs to understand that him and his cabal of small-government talkin' large-government walkin' spendthrift militarist Republicans who wrought perpetual war and $20 trillion in debt are the actual problem. The status quo ante election was unacceptable.

    If only more peole actually watched to see that the talk doesn't fit the walk. In fact Bush and Obama "accomplished " the same major things. ( Constant war, spending , debt, injured foreign relations and corporate welfare ) to name a few. But you tell that to most people and you just get their dumb look. Why? Because even after all the lies we've been told they listen to political rhetoric not political action. That is how the donkephant can fail us so much so often and still stay in power.

    Actually I hadn't forgotten and his post-House gig with Big Tobacco provides an excellent insight into his "character"

    Yes, I recall how indignant the right were with Boehner's treatment of Obama.
    If I recall accurately, it was the right that hounded Boehner out of office under the guise of personal retirement.

    Orange on orange hate.

    But seriously, Boehner seemed pretty moderate but not representative of the extreme right in his party. Paul Ryan better represents that, at least fiscally, supposedly. I always got the impression Boehner wasn't "Republican enough" for Speaker.

    Yet he no doubt supports harsh punishment for pot dealers. Hypocrisy incarnate
