Actually he told them, "Boehner recently told his colleagues he will no longer negotiate one on one with President Obama on high-stakes fiscal issues. Instead, he will return to “regular order,” meaning House GOP policymaking will start at the committee level."

I see this going poorly for America as the committee chairs tend to be the most extreme raving loons the far right has. This means one googly eyed nutjob can, all by himself, decide to cause the country to default on the national debt thus destroying the US credit rating and the global economy at the same time. This is Boehner giving up on being the head of his party. Why is he in the majority leader position if he doesn't intend to lead the majority?

With things taking longer to get through the House and the Senate refusing to take up much of anything maybe we will get lucky and very few things will ever get passed.

As opposed to one "googly eyed nutjob" running the ENTIRE Senate. If Ole' Harry doesn't want any bill looked at by ANY Senator, he puts the bill in the trash.
