Excellent analysis. We are so used to trashing Boehner that we don’t realize that he IS standing up (at least for now) against the blamer-in-chief.

If he’s gone this far, hopefully he’ll hang in there. Let’s put a lot of prayer on him so that he doesn’t cave.

John Boehner is the last person you would expect or choose to lead this battle, but he has an Army of Tea Party freshman behind him willing to take the fight to the enemy.

Newt was such a leader in 1994, and he and his followers paid a heavy price for their patriotism. But they defanged the socialists for a few years and balanced the budget.
The media and the socialists will do everything in their power to destroy their enemies, and unlike us, they have a long memory and are willing to fight every battle no matter how small.

Boehner has now made commitments and statements before millions of people. That fact alone may stiffen his resolve not to cave. He is aware of the knocks he has taken painting him as a big, wishy-washy crybaby and may see this as a chance to prove himself a steadfast leader.
