Re: Boehner says he 'absolutely' trusts Obama?
At the risk of sounding naive and disingenuous, I would suggest that it's ok to criticize the current speaker of the House. If we choose to remain silent in an effort to show unity, we tell Boehner he's on the right track. Well, he's not on the right track. What good is temporary political power if it is not exercised? Specifically, the republicans control the House. They could, if willing, wield their power over the federal purse strings to exert some meaningful influence on the federal government. Boehner instead chooses to punish the Tea Party freshmen that suggest that course. Old Lee Iococa had it right: lead, follow, or get out of the way. What will it be speaker Boehner?
