The R's were dumb to leave a spineless twit like Boehner in power, should have replaced him with someone who has a backbone.
Boehner isn't spineless. He's got plenty of backbone. You don't claw your way into the Speaker's chair by being soft. You have to kick a lot of asses to get there.

What he doesn't have is presidential powers or good options.

Those things trump having a backbone all day long.

Spend, spend, spend, more government, more government, more government.

The Democrats are just slightly better at doing this.

Default House passes a Clean Bill- Repubs caved in

Congress sends Homeland bill to Obama without conditions

I guess that Pelosi wasn't really lying when she said that they would get what they wanted the following week. It's just a big charade. I'm not sure what good having the majority in both chambers is doing for the Repubs. They are letting the POTUS and the Dems walk all over them.

We all knew how this movie would end. Boehner finally put it on fast forward so he can concentrate on manufacturing the next crisis.

Cackle away. What was signed can be unsigned when the idiot leaves office.
