John Boehner: “These kids have a shot at the American dream like I did.”

Let me just be clear here. A debt limit increase without any reforms to lower our deficit just isn`t going to cut it.

Even though I didn`t really want to go the direction where the team`s gone, they were the ones who elected me to be the leader, and I had an obligation to go lead them.

The modern Republican Party is filled with, as John Boehner put it, people who spend more time tearing things apart than actually building anything.

I'd rather set myself on fire than to run for office again.
