After House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced Tuesday that the vote on an increase of the debt ceiling would have no strings attached he exited by signing "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah" from the Disney 1946 movie "Song of the South"...

Something is wrong with this guy. He goes from crying to singing?
Did he lose a bet? Is this a message to someone?
I can just picture Obama telling Soros that not only will he make Boehner give in to everything with no negotiations, "but I will even make him sing Zip a dee doo da."
Someone cashed in on this, or Boehner is cracking up. He reminds me such much of the scared little guy in school who always gets beat up but still tries so hard to be 'accepted'.
He has got to go. Tomorrow would not be soon enough.

Boehner says: In your face conservatives!
Boehner is serving his financial masters. No matter what happens, Boehner is rich, will be taken care of, and doesn't care one iota about you, me, or the United darn States.

Ryan stepping aside for Cantor...
The Hill recently surveyed dozens of Republicans in the House and the consensus was that the only lawmaker who could defeat Cantor is Ryan.
The wonky Budget Committee chairman, however, said Thursday that he does not want to be Speaker. Ryan is expected to lead the Ways and Means next year, with few expecting the 2012 vice presidential nominee to launch a White House bid.
Cantor has a better shot at the top House spot for a number of reasons, according to political science professor Jack Pitney.
They include: "Having been a member of the leadership for several years now, establishing national name identification, being able to raise money, showing that he can excel at both the inside game and the outside game, according to Pitney, who teaches at Claremont McKenna College.
Cantor has already raised more than $5 million for the 2013-2014 cycle, and has more than $2 million cash on hand between his personal campaign fund and his leadership PAC called Every Republican is Crucial (ERIC), according to the federal election money tracking website Opensecrets.org.
Cantor has had a seat at the GOP leadership table since then-House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) selected him to be chief deputy whip in 2002. That has helped him foster relationships with many in the GOP conference.
A source close to Cantor said the Richmond-area lawmaker is a “patient man,” and has built a strong team that could take the reins if and when the job of Speaker is open.
Other Republicans who have been mentioned as a potential Boehner successors include Reps. Jeb Hensarling (Texas), Tom Price (Ga.) and Tom Cole (Okla.).
