In order to steal the spotlight back away from TED CRUZ, John BOEHNER decides one up the idiot Texas senator by announcing he would walk the plank of the ship of State. It seems that BOEHNER has very little negotiating skills and is more suited for work in the bar where he claims to have been raised. As one of the weakest Speakers of the House it seem that the "Peter Principle" has befallen the House of Representatives at a particularly bad time...
But in reality the bad time is caused precisely by the leaders inability contain and control the hooligans who have been throwing roadblocks and causing mayhem in the people's house. He has been fending off Eric Cantor the " I wanna be speaker" Judas who has been working behind the scenes to force BOEHNER into unobtainanle goals.
So now with nothing to lose and his reelection doubtful in a tough new district, John has threatened to shut down the government and not raise the debt limit. Almost like walking the plank because there will be no negotiating on the results of the last election OBAMACARE IS HERE. The best thing he can do is go back and try to fix the legislation in order for it to work better for all of the people... I can't stop thinking about the qoute from the movie BLAZING SADDLES when Bart raises the gun to his own head.... HILARIOUS...
