I am not going to gloat or rejoice with the announcement that John Boehner will resign his seat from Ohio's 8th Congressional District and his Speakership as the Speaker for the last three Congresses. All I can say is this: it is about time!
As reported in the New York Times and all throughout the print, digital and electronic media all day, Boehner faced a contentious last few years as he fought with the Conservatives of his party while annoying them as he did Obama's bidding. Sadly, he didn't understand the purpose of his position and instead became Obama's lackey in his powerful position.
As you know, I am not nor have I been a fan of John Boehner. As I did with Obama in 2009, I gave him a six month grace period to show what his agenda would be. Boehner did a lot of talking how he would stand up and challenge Barry and his stooges, but in the end he was the biggest stooge of all.
Now, perhaps, the Republican majority will elect someone who truly understands what the role of Speaker means under our Constitution. The Weeper of the House certainly did not.
Then, maybe with a real Speaker who will not be afraid to direct the House Judiciary Committee to bring forth Articles of Impeachment against this President, Obama will finally be forced to obey that Sacred Document. Up until now, no one has because Boehner was a real failure.
We can only hope.
