Bye Bye Boehner.…

John Boehner is set to resign the Speakership of the House and his seat in Congress. Boehner will resign in the face of oppo­si­tion with­in his own party.
Boehner’s speak­er­ship has been a colos­sal fail­ure of leadership.
Throughout Obama’s Presidency Boehner did not stand for Governance he allowed the Right wing hate machine to block and hin­der the President’s agenda.
In the end Boehner will be remem­bered for not stand­ing for any­thing. As such he was des­tined to go this way. 
He will be remem­bered as the speak­er of Government shutdowns.
I can­not recall any oth­er time in my life­time when a Speaker of the House has pur­sued a more acri­mo­nious rela­tion­ship with a sit­ting President.
On issue after issue, Immigration, ISIS, Budget issues , Israel Foreign pol­i­cy in gen­er­al, John Boehner has been the most vir­u­lent oppo­nent of Obama.
In the end John Boehner com­mit­ted the ulti­mate sin of invit­ing Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu to address the Congress in oppo­si­tion to the President’s Iran deal with­out inform­ing the President.
This action was a mas­sive depar­ture from estab­lished protocol.
Boehner knew that Netanyahu was opposed to the deal being nego­ti­at­ed between the P5 plus 1. He knew that Netanyahu had a less than cor­dial rela­tion­ship with the sit­ting President Barack Obama .
As such what Boehner did was to side with a Foreign head of state over his own President.

In the days and weeks to come there will be much dis­cus­sion on this unex­pect­ed move by Boehner. Predictably the mass of the con­ver­sa­tion will be geared toward bur­nish­ing and san­i­tiz­ing the record and tenure of John Boehner.
Unfortunately for those who will spend their time in such endeav­ors we live in the infor­ma­tion age. Thanks to Google. Bing Yahoo. and oth­er search engines Boehner’s every action is a mat­ter of pub­lic record.
Nevertheless they will spend much time telling you that what you saw and read is not real­ly what you saw and read.
They will try to con­vince you that your eyes are lying to you.
John Boehner was par­tic­u­lar­ly dis­ap­point­ing because he did not come from wealth. In this pub­li­ca­tion we made know our feel­ing on Boehner on sev­er­al occasions.
He had a chance to side with the poor on issue after issue , instead he chose to stand with the wealthy and powerful.
This writer will shed not a sin­gle tear to see the back of John Boehner.
Interestingly those who will be in line to suc­ceed him will most like­ly be far worse than John Boehner ever was.
Remarkable.!!
