9. If he wanted

to solve something, then he should have ran for President with his issues. He doesn't have a national mandate for anything. His constituents that he calls small Business, are his doners like Goldman Sachs. I wish somebody like Rachel, Al, Laurence or Ed would get hold of what really is behind Boehner and his push for Spending cuts so hard. This guy had a meeting in his office with Bush's Treasury Secretary and Bernanke right before he pushed the TARP Bailout for Banks. He was one of the primary guys pushing that Bailout for them. One of the reasons Boehner has stayed in office so long, is he gets plenty of spending goodies for his District in Ohio, which happens to be 90 percent White. He keeps them happy and they keep sending him back to Congress. This is a mainly rural District, which gets Farm subsidies too, mainly because of Boehner. He keeps them happy, while he really is pushing an agenda for Wall Street. This guy has also made millions while he has been in Congress. That is because he has a lot of connections on Wall Street.
