House Speaker John Boehner is not a leader, he is a follower.

Boner still hasn't learned the fine art of leadership in the USA House of Representative.  But, who ever said he appreciates art.  Cantor is unable to pivot enough to get out of his chair these days.


One could easily argue there are three parties in the House, but, if Boner sincerely expressed that no matter how much he may believe it, even if fleeting, he would no longer be sitting in the Speaker's chair now would he?


There is currently 192 Democratic members to the House of Representative.  Those seats are primarily Democratic seats in most any election, so the demographics of the House are not likely to change on the OPPOSITE side of the aisle.  Boner has not even attempted to reach across the aisle as it would be slapped away by the Tea Baggers.


Of the 240 Republicans there is something like 119 or so Freshman that belong to the Tea Party.  That is nearly half of the Republican Party in the House.  It is why Boner and the 'other' Republicans are bound and gagged from actually legislating.  The Republican side of the aisle is held hostage by their own extremist denomination, the Tea Baggers.  Spiritual as they might have the upper hand in the praying department, that doesn't amount to anything in the legislative department.


If Speaker Boehner would simply walk across the aisle to pass House legislation that would actually pass the Senate and would be signed by the President, the country could solve its problems.  Not just some of its problems but all its problems including its debt ceiling and joblessness where applicable.


The problem with Speaker Boner is that he is playing second fiddle to extremists in hopes in 2012 there is an Extremist Senate majority and an extremist in the Executive Branch.  That is hardly prudent, patriotic or competent!


If John Boehner actually lead and partnered with Democrats in a dynamically successful and flourishing House and country, his extremist half of the Republican majority would learn quickly how to make votes matter rather than destructive.


There is a history of not even one year of a failed House.  How much longer is that going to continue and how much changing of the guard in the Speaker's seat will occur before we finally find someone competent enough to actually pass legislation?
