Who has the worst job. Barrack Obama is expected to fix an economy that can’t be fixed – a bad job. But then we have John Boehner – he has the job of herding cats – a group of teabillies who’s hate of Obama makes economic catastrophe preferable to giving Obama what he needs to avoid catastrophe. The orange man is discovering you can’t herd cats.
Speaker John Boehner postponed the planned House vote on a debt-limit increase late Thursday night, casting new doubt on Congress’ ability to avert a default and further exposing a deep philosophical divide in the Republican Conference.
Four-and-a-half hours after the vote was supposed to begin on the House floor, Republicans announced they would start again in the morning, but the end game remains unclear on this trillion-dollar package. The House Rules Committee was expected to meet later Thursday night to issue a rule that would allow the GOP to bring a new bill to the floor quickly on Friday if the final votes can be secured.
Yes, Boehner has the worst job but probably not for long. In reality he’s not trying to herd cats but lemmings. I would guess that Mr Boehner is looking forward to not being Speaker – there’s a lot to be said for cocktail hour and golf.
