Honestly, he is holding on until the end of October to give Obama budget fight cover.

His aides say that he had planned to retire last year and pass the gavel to Cantor.
Shame he didn’t learn from Cantor’s defeat to treat conservatives with respect.

I could vomit. John Boehner never did anything for the good of the Republican party. He saw he was being pushed out and jumped ship.

It amazed me that he fought so hard against the conservatives in the caucus. It made no sense from any point of view- well, except the WashPost’s.

IMO Boehner was a weak alcoholic political hack who was bought and paid for long ago. In a few months he will reapper as an employee of some big lobbyist firm.

I am guessing that whatever the libs are using to blackmail him is known to the conservatives, too. Maybe there is a conservative who is now playing hardball.

No. If Boner did it right, his resignation would have been effective immediately.

BS.

Boehner seeks to make a virtue of necessity.
