John Boehner

When it comes to finding a leadership role in the next Congress, Tom Price is running out of options. Price, a stalwart conservative House member from Georgia, is the outgoing Republican Policy Committee chairman, which ranked him fifth in the GOP House leadership.

John Boehner laid out the House Republican position in the upcoming legislative debate on the fiscal cliff in remarks Wednesday afternoon. "Mr. President, the Republican majority here in the House stands ready to work with you to do what's best for our country," Boehner said, calling the massive national debt, now larger than the entire economy, our "greatest challenge of all."

Here are a few excerpts from House speaker John Boehner's upcoming speech at the Republican National Convention:

At a lunch Monday afternoon sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, Speaker of the House John Boehner recalled when he first met Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican and Mitt Romney’s running mate. 

Speaker of the House John Boehner's Fourth of July tribute to the Declaration of Independence: 

“If you’re like me, when you enter the Capitol Rotunda, your eyes are drawn to Trumbull’s depiction of the Declaration of Independence.  And why not?  It’s humbling to stop and think about how it all began.

It has been 1,000 days since the Senate has produced a budget, and congressional Republicans are getting fed up.

A press release from Speaker of the House John Boehner's office announces "a list of 132 American economists who believe the job creation strategy used in the House GOP Plan for America’s Job Creators will do more to boost private-sector job growth in America in both the near-term and long-term than the “stimulus” spending approach favored by President Obama."

Yesterday, when the president was asked whether Americans are better off now than they were four years ago, he responded: "Well, you know, I think that we are better off now than we would have been if I hadn't taken all the steps that we took."

President Obama arrived in Cincinnati Thursday afternoon to tout his newest bill meant to stimulate the economy with billions of dollars in infrastructure investment for job creation. The Obama team chose the “functionally obsolete” Brent Spence Bridge connecting Kentucky and Ohio, and the still concrete trucks at the local Hilltop Concrete company for the event’s symbolic backdrop. The president arrived in Cincinnati for two reasons: one, to gain support in the backyards of two chief Republican critics—Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Speaker of the House John Boehner of Ohio, and two, he appeared on the northern banks of the river in swing state Ohio in an early quest for electoral votes in a key battleground.
