House Speaker John Boehner Explains Why He Can’t Lead

If he takes a position on something, say, immigration, “all I’m doing is making my job harder, he told CBS. Political Wire has that, and what First Read has to say.

“It’s striking that the man who’s second in line to the presidency — House Speaker John Boehner — said yesterday that he won’t take a personal position on immigration, especially over whether there should be a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants… These are Boehner’s most explicit comments yet that he sees his job not to shape his GOP caucus but rather let his GOP caucus shape him. It’s a stunning admission from the man who, like it or not, is the current leader of the Republican Party.”
