This guy must go.

McClellan.

The dems have for their leaders extremists like Pelosi and Reid. We have milquetoast like Boehner. Why do we shoot ourselves in the foot with wishy washy crybabies like this guy? I am so glad I never contributed a dime to the republican party.

Unexpectedly!

Time to replace John!

That didn't take long.

Imagine if we had someone as effective as San Fran Nan in our corner. Instead of a street fighter, GOP offers Rollover John, along with a SC chief justice who's probably got something to hide (see also David "Kelo" Souter).

I needed this like I needed a kick in the teeth.

"I'm John Boehner and I welcome my new overlords." I knew there was something wrong with this guy the way he cried so much - it's just not right.

Poor John. He has no power but doesn't know.

Obama and the Democrats own Washington. w/o the Senate the House can be ignored as it has been for two years.

Boehner should go home before the Secret Service harnesses him to pull Michelle and Bo in a rickshaw when she goes shopping.

You expect Boehner to do the impossible? Fighter or no fighter, it's pointless to keep having repeal votes when there's no way the senate will ever repeal. It sucks, but Republican voters did not get and vote on Tuesday so now we're stuck with it.

Tax bills must originate in the House. The Speaker should know this.

Why the speech yesterday signaling capitulation, after Harry Reid stated on Election day that if Romney won, he would not work with Romney?
Now this statement today.
The stupid ass doesn't realize that HE is a leader too.
Boehner must go..I said that 3 years ago, I say it again.
I was already so mad I could spit, as the realization of 4 more years of Obama sink in. Now this (self dleted)

Good grief. We are totally screwed.

He holds the purse strings to all funding of the federal government . He needs to be replaced but the rep congressmen don't have the cojones to do it.

Boehner is weak. He is not a leader and is not fit to be speaker.

Anything that was accomplished with dishonesty, graft, fraud and deceit must and WILL eventually wind up on the ash heap of history, regardless of how the chances for that appear at the moment. We don't know when Obamacare will be destroyed, but it will be. It matters not at all what John "I'll Cry Tomorrow" Boehner thinks or says. Obamacare is not long for this world. It may fester for several years, but it will not be permanent.

Boehner, you gutless piece of buzzard puke;

You hold the purse strings

Pass a budget devoid of funding for OBambicare, the EPA, TSA, Dept of 'Education', and all the other useless acronyms, and tell the Senate and the Usurper 'take it or leave it'.

IOW, Grow A Pair

John Boehner is two "heartbeats" away from becoming President.

We should demand a strong Speaker...I don't think he's it.

(Just in case...I do not wish physical harm to anyone. I just finished "Killing Kennedy" and we could very well have lost both number's one and two that day in '63)

... the death of the land.

This is why the repubs will be on the losing end going forward. Their irrelevancy and go along to get along is what has killed this once great nation. Of course, guys like Boehner don't care. He'll get thrown out of Congress next election or the one after that (or retire) and be set with cash and benefits thanks to the same taxpayers he's helped destroy. The repubs are only one tiny step right of the Leftists.

Some of you need to drink some strong coffee and rub the sleep out of your eyes. Obamacare is here to stay thanks to John Roberts and Chris Christie. Get used to that fact. Boenner is nobodies fool. He and that wise Jew from Richmond are the only winners we've got. They also happen to be the only fellows standing between you and an unadulterated Marxist federal government. Remember that when you and listening/worshipping your buddy Mark Levin, the loser who has done nothing but foist losers upon us, Akin, O'Donnell, Moerdock, Angle, Palin... The list goes on!

Well now I know I have no old age to look forward to. My life will be over in about 20 years at the most now. Thanks, cry baby boehner... I am glad YOU can afford better doctors and your own special care!

Michele Bachmann for Speaker.

Boehner has to go. He is worthless. Doesn't any one have a back bone in the house?

If Tammy Faye Boehner has been in charge of the purse strings, fire his arse. He isn't doing his job.

Make Ryan speaker

The Republican Party, and our nation, both died on November 6, 2012!!!

Boehner just doesn't realize it's dead yet. But that stench of surrender coming off of him right now is all the proof you need...

Sorry folks. But republicans failed at the ballot box. Republicans turned out in lower numbers than they did in 08. Dont blame Boehner. Blame REPUBLICAN voters first, a stupid electorate second and the press third.

WE, the People, LOST at the polls at the hands of fellow Americans. If you want ObamaCare overturned, REPUBLICANS MUST turn out. But no..... the evangelicals wont vote for a Mormon and the libertarians and ideologically pure conservatives are holding out for either the perfect candidate or Ron Paul. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! These people sold out the country by holding out for a candidate not on the ballot!

Michelle Bachmann for Speaker. Boehner must go. Please challenge him Michelle. The Tea Party and Fiscal Conservatives will back you.

I can't stand Boehner, but we can't repeal since we didn't win the senate. We can, however, back out via our states. Thank God for all of the Republican governors and AGs.

#11 and #22, read #18. The house controls the purse strings. Cut off the funding.

Is this the kind of 'reach across the aisle' sentiment we are supposed to get used to seeing? PUKE.

Thanks John Roberts for your submission. You wanted the job, but weren't up to it.

When, not if, the health system collapses because of the cupidity of people like Sandra Fluke, and success in the Cloward-Pivensing of the American nation, doctors will resort to the barter system like in Cuba. It will revert back to a few-for-service economic model once more, even if done illegally. Thank you for nothing, blue state voters.

John Roberts and the electorate screwed us and Speaker Boehner. There is absoltely nothing any of the Republicans, Tea Partiers, true Americans can do in Congress or Washington to undo Obamacare. Those commenting above and complaining of Boehner's acknowledgment that Obamacare is the law of the land should review the Constitution. We are bound to it, until there is another revolution. Whether that happens remains to be seen.

Make Paul Ryan speaker...or Michelle Bachman...Boehner is either drunk everyday or just plain stupid...Does he understand he'll be written as another Benedict Arnold? What a puke!

I don't get it. Obama was just reelected and the Democrats still control the Senate. Boehner wakes up and declares that it is Thursday .... and gets roasted for it??? I swear, some of the comments are akin to "Horses! Horses! Damn those automobiles!"

Boehner can pass any budget he wants, with whatever Obamacare repeal clauses he wants, and it will be greeted just like the previous budgets. It will die in the Democrat Senate.

That's coffee. Time for all of us to take a big whiff.

The a house can refuse to fund it. Period.

Of course Boehner doesn't have the balls to do at, but he could.

If he did, he could save this country. But he won't.

There are still several challenges to Obamacare that will make it to the supreme court. It's not over by a long shot.

Odd that Roberts changed his mind at the last second. There's still more to this story that has not been written yet.

So...keep passing all those budgets with all the serious defunding of ObamaDeath, EPA, Dept of this, that, and the other. Draw the line. Make the distinction.

@ #29 - I have not looked at the election data. Had to take a break from this. Did Republicans actually turn out in smaller numbers of voters for Romney than McCain? After knowing about Barry the Fraud for 4 years and knowing what Hope and Change was really about?

Hey bone-head. If you just leave obamacare out of the budget, it dies. If the dims want to kick and scream, they can, but the house starts all funding bills, and nothing is funded unless you fund it. Hold tight and refuse to fund it or get out of the way and let someone else lead. Rolling up in the fetal position and handing your enemy the club to beat you with is not a good strategy.

Take a minute and give him a bit of 'encouragement'.

Putz.

Easy for you to say Boehner, you'll never have to stand before a Death Panel and plead for your life.

It is the law of the land. John Roberts and the voters say so. Yes indeed Americans overwhelmingly oppose Obamacare.

Well, he's right, actually. John Roberts thought the case out like an law student: if the voters don't like Obamacare, they can repeal it. But easier said than done. To do it, the entire composition of Congress and the Presidency had to change. Did he expect the election to be a referendum on Obamacare alone? Because that was the only way the Republicans were going to be able to do enough to repeal the law.

This guy should be tried for treason.

That does it. Out with him.

The business community will need to carry the water by suing the Gov't for allowing waivers for some & not others.... Talk about Fairness...

There's a congressional election in 2014, lots of chances for Reps to win both houses if they don't blow it all over again.

There's the possibility that Roberts gave us an out by declaring that Obamacare is a tax. Per Article I, Section 7, all tax bills must originate in the House (the Origination Clause), and this one did not.

#32 & #52, there has not been a budget passed the entirety of the first(dear God I cannot stand saying that) term of Uhhhbama's admin, what makes you think he'll give a fat Christie's(formerly rat's arse, but I think this is far more succinct) arse about something as paltry as the Constitution?

And this is why I am an independent.
