makes all the wrong decisions for the wrong reasons. If you only thought about the responsibility of serving the American People you might have had a different outcome and a better legacy. Now you will be tainted forever for serving your campaign donors and thinking only of yourself.

Bye, bye John!!!!!!

I recall Boehner saying that job creation was the priority of this past congress.

How did that work out for us?
