put it here.
I feel for this guy. He's had more than his fair share of CRAP from this friggen' congress. And retained his class, grace, dignity. I don't agree with everything, of course, but that's the compromise part of it.
He doesn't deserve this; we barely deserve him.
Congress can go to hell...at lest the R part.

Bless him. The adult in the room.
I agree - I wish all could see. Certainly there will be clips all day and evening.
haha...."take this drama off the table..."
Let them (House members) vote and their vote can be on the record. Clearly, that's why Boehner won't do it...
