John Boehner: “Bill Young wasn't just a leading man of the House--he was the House.”

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.

I think there’s a point here where the American people are wondering, is the president above the law? The president could have put this whole issue behind us, not put the country and the world through this misery, if he had just told us…

For a bill that was supposed to be about jobs, jobs, jobs, has turned into a bill that`s all about spending, spending, and spending.

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