John Boehner

The economy is hurting thanks to a combination of our love of de-regulation from the 1990s and overly greedy CEOs, greedier than normal. So our elected leaders in Washington decided to reward these idiots by bailing them out.  Now I will be honest, I do not like the idea. I believe that the government should have stepped in,however this was the wrong step, especially when these CEOs are still going to get a lot of money for NOT doing a good job.

So the $700 billion bailout first went through the house.  Before hand, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) gave a completely partisan speech, causing the bailout to fail. This bailout, which garnered bi-partisan support, did not pass and both Pelosi and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) started the spin that has made us a little bit upset at Congress for a while. Now it was the Senate's turn to come up with something new. This new thing was a bailout plan with a whole bunch of pork. Folks, pork belongs on a grill or a plate, not in a rescue plan.

The Hill reports that House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will be making stops in a total of 18 congressional districts in the Northeast and Midwest during the summer recess. And even though he's made numerous appearances in the region on behalf of Pennsylvania Republican candidates, his tour will not include Maryland's 1st.

Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D) and Minority Leader John Boehner (R)U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Mechanicsville) registered his displeasure over the comments of his Republican counterpart, Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), suggesting violence against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for now allowing a vote on offshore drilling for oil.

Boehner made the offending remark in an Aug. 8 interview with Politico, discussing some 80 House Republicans continuing protest demanding that Speaker Pelosi bring the body back from summer recess to vote on offshore oil drilling.

When asked about an idea floating around that Pelosi call a special session only to vote on issues like childrens' health insurance and other Democratic agenda items, Boehner became indignant.
