On Sunday, in the latest round of leftist media adoration for deposed Republican figures they hated about five minutes ago, Politico ran a fawning profile of one-time Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH). Boehner wasn&#8217;t a particularly successful speaker &#8212; he led the House Republicans from 2007 to 2015, as both Minority Leader and Speaker. Boehner was deposed because he was widely perceived as caving to President Obama&#8217;s funding priorities; he seemed cold on the prospect of defunding particular aspects of the government if it meant going up against Obama directly.
Boehner&#8217;s record <a href="http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/01/05/six-times-john-boehner-proved-his-incompetence/">wasn&#8217;t particularly strong</a>. In 2008, Boehner pushed through President Bush&#8217;s bank bailout. In 2010, Boehner posed as a hard-core conservative opposed to President Obama&#8217;s agenda tooth and nail. That didn&#8217;t last long. In 2011, he undercut House Republicans on their debt ceiling push for serious spending reform; shortly afterward, Boehner cut a deal with Democrats on the Budget Control Act, also known as &#8220;sequestration.&#8221; That deal slashed $1.2 trillion from the budget from 2013 to 2021 &#8212; but instead of holding President Obama&#8217;s feet to the fire, Boehner simply rammed through a bill that would take half of those cuts from defense if no actual material cuts were agreed to. Those cuts didn&#8217;t materialize, and Obama slashed defense. In 2011, Boehner also jacked up unfunded spending on disaster relief; the next year, he tried to purge conservatives from leadership positions in the House; in 2013, he ran away from Senator Ted Cruz&#8217;s (R-TX) short-lived government shutdown, and later called Cruz &#8220;Lucifer in the flesh&#8221;; he signed off on a $1 trillion deal later that year that raised spending $63 billion without offsetting cuts; in 2014, he did little to defund Obama&#8217;s executive amnesty, instead pushing through a cromnibus bill that avoided the issue; that came shortly after he tried to ram through an immigration reform bill that would have provided a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
