Tea party member finally force Speaker Boehner to resign not only as speaker, but from Congress. Good riddance to Obama's best ally.

"The departure likely wasn’t caused by Boehner’s political adversaries, but rather the people within the Republican Party."

That's what they want people to think.

"The Oct. 30 timetable may actually give Boehner the wiggle room to keep the government open, Stivers said: Because he won’t face a coup from right-wing conservatives, Boehner might be able to move freely to back legislation to pay for the government, raise the debt ceiling and pass a highway bill without having to tiptoe around the complaints of the Tea Party flank of his party."

So he sacrificed his job for liberal causes. Lovely.

"His announcement comes one day after a visibly emotional Boehner sat behind Pope Francis during his historic address to Congress, which was set up by Boehner after two decades of trying to get a pope to speak to a joint session for the first time in U.S. history.
At one point, Boehner appeared to break down altogether when the pope addressed crowds waiting outside the Capitol to catch a glimpse of him after the speech. After the speech, Boehner reportedly told reporters from Politico and the Washington Post that he had nothing left to accomplish after bring Pope Francis to the Capitol. Asked if that meant he was resigning, Boehner laughed, then jumped into a nearby SUV." 

So bringing a Marxist Pope to address Congress was his greatest accomplishment. Lovely.

"“As our country has weathered difficult times at home and abroad, John has acted as a true statesman, always moving forward with the best interests of the American people close to his heart,” he said. “He will be missed because there is simply no one else like him.”"

None of the things mentioned are in the best interests of the American people.

"“It’s been an honor to serve in this institution,” Boehner said."

It's a crime. At least the Pope inspired him to quit.

Boehner's resignation creates uncertainty for Obama because Boehner was his best ally.

Boehner had worst approval ratings of any Speaker in 30 years.

The second best news of the day is Republicans are targeting McConnell next.

Syracuse gets rid of kiss cam because a woman was supposedly pressured into kissing a stranger when it showed them. Give me a break. This misogynist claim that women can't say no is absurd.

Argument the term liberal was corrupted and lost during WWI, when liberals changed their positions to win the war and advance empire.

Pope contradicts himself by calling for end to quest for power. You might think he doesn't understand power corrupts, but he does.

Mother Jones comes off as idiotic in article claiming Obama, President of China and Pope are uniting to save the world.
