Everytime I see his name I always think Boner instead. Nothing perverted but just for some reason.

To me or the public?
Me Pelosi though I can't stand Boehner now...
The public is so screwed up it is probably a coin flip.

On the other hand, Obama was more popular, with himself, than Daniel Inouye was at Inouye's funeral. Obama couldn't stop talking about himself.

I mentioned this a week or so ago, he's in an impossible position. If he compromises at all he loses the right and if he doesn't he loses the center. He tried a partial with his vote last week and looked bad to both.
Either he is going to have to just bite the bullet and make the deal with dems and moderate pubs (an possibly lose his speakership), or give in to his base, let us go over on Jan 1 and be viewed as the devil by everyone not voting on who the speaker is.

All the more reason to break up the GOP. Since the Mainline pubs are go-slow Democrats, let them be subsumed by the Democrats. This alone will make the Democrats slower. That would leave fiscal conservatives to form a smaller but loyal opposition.
Not to worry, there won't be any ant-war parties. There will only be a big war party and a small war party.

That said, it's amazing how many people don't get that there are millions of Americans who do not send people to Washington to compromise, but rather to stand their ground. Even more amazing, many of these millions become angry when the people they send to Washington proceed to do what they were sent to do.
It goes back to the larger problem: the voters. Their approval rating with me has shrunk to single digits.

"President Barack Obama was reportedly so frustrated with House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) during fiscal cliff negotiations this week, he threatened to blame Republicans in a very public setting."
The Wall Street Journal reports:
Mr. Obama repeatedly lost patience with the speaker as negotiations faltered. In an Oval Office meeting last week, he told Mr. Boehner that if the sides didn't reach agreement, he would use his inaugural address and his State of the Union speech to tell the country the Republicans were at fault.
Obama urged Congress on Friday to pass a smaller measure to avert the fiscal cliff after Boehner pulled his "plan B" Thursday "because it did not have sufficient support" from Republicans.
Despite his failure to muscle his fiscal cliff fallback through the House, Boehner said he was "not" worried about his speakership.
Listen, you have all heard me say this, and I have told my colleagues this. If you do the right things every day for the right reasons, the right things will happen, Boehner said at a press conference Friday.

No. Pubs need new leadership in both the house and senate. And of course the head of the party will be the nominee in 2016. I would expect the new leadership will emerge from the Ryan, Rubio, Ayotte, Martinez generation. Pubs control 30 governor's offices and there are bright stars among the governors who will have executive experience.
Boehner and McConnell are both skilled politicians but both are the wrong messengers and are tired of the battles and need to retire. Same with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi on the demo side.

How new leadership, by coup ? The existing leadership has just purged the fiscal conservatives, including those probably not as likely to take guff from Obama. Basically, right now we've got Obama vs. Obama Lite.
