I totally agree with you. But I know Boehner is constiutionally incapable of performing at that level. I hope Cantor replaces him. It can only be an improvement. How much of an improvement, time will tell.
By the way, Ryan is now on my loser list along with Boehner and Romney. He voted for that bill and came up with an absolutely assinine defense - as stupid as his performance in the debate with that braying jackass Biden.
We shall see.
