Boehner said it himself. He didn't sign up to fight with the president. His powerlessness in regards to his caucus has been exposed. He's a country club guy who's not seeking long hours fighting political fights. Do you think he gives up the speakership when this is over?

2. I thought Boehner had a very strange expression on his face at
the very end of his speech. Just as he finished. I thought he looked embarrassed, almost ashamed. Take a look if you can find the video.

Unless the country is off its axis Democrats should win the House back easily.

9. Boehner is hanging on by cowtowing to the Tea Party. Tea Partiers
in Cin. area rallied outside his home during speech last night.
