A Fitful, Petulant Boehner Walks Out, Confuses World

How can we say anything other than that the Speaker of the House is acting like little more than a high school sophomore Republican Club underling?*  This is not to say the man doesn't have even weaker underlings cheering him on.  This tragi-comedy is made little better by a U.S. President, who unlike Harry Truman, will give nothing approaching the heat of hell, though he does at least try to give the truth. 



*I happen to know one and I like him much better than Boehner!

    As has been noted, the President agreed to the threat of a sequester as part of the budget deal of 2011. Yet somehow, blaming him for this is a little like blaming a kid for crying "Uncle!", when the neighborhood bully pins him to the sidewalk.
