"Boehner's job is kind of like that of a cemetery caretaker: lot's of people under him, but nobody listens."

Its a little bit like being the head caretaker of the cemetery, said Representative Hal Rogers, the Kentucky Republican, describing the challenge Mr. Boehner faces. There are a lot of people under you, but nobody listens.

Simply Red - Holding Back The Years
Holding back the years,
Thinking of the fear I've had for so long.
When somebody hears,
Listen to the fear that's gone.
Strangled by the wishes of pater,
Hoping for the arm of mater,
Get to me sooner or later,
Nothing ever could, yeah.
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on.
Chance for me to escape from all I know.
Holding back the tears.
There's nothing here has grown.
I've wasted all my tears,
Wasted all those years.
Nothing had the chance to be good,
Nothing ever could, yeah.
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on,
I'll keep holding on
So tight.
I feel sorry for that man, despite all of his power and bad actions. Look at Obama's joy and ability to enjoy life. Boehner only finds comfort in a bottle or so it appears. A wretched way to live.
I really don't despise him like I do Cantor, Ryan and Issa - just to name a few.
OMG - those 80s hairdos!

(53,661 posts)9. Yes, they are truly mean spirited and petty. Boehner is just trying to keep up. Regarding the 80's..
Don't mess with the do!
