Boehner: ‘Hell, no! I’m not having any fun’
Source: RawReplay
By David Edwards

Following a Thursday speech unveiling his plan to “liberate” the economy, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was asked if he enjoyed his job.

“Hell, no!” he exclaimed. “I’m not having any fun.”

“But I am glad I’m there… I wanted to be Speaker because I wanted to lead an effort on behalf of our country. And it’s that mission that drives me every day… But I like to accomplish my mission and get the hell out of there.”

Boehner later added that he never aspired to be a politician.

2. What country is Boehner referring to?
Because the country I see where he's leading an effort isn't benefiting at all from his political shenanigans.

7. Politics as waystop
If he accomplishes what the Koch brothers want, he will be rewarded.
