发帖数: 29846 | 1 ABC Laments: Boehner Departure Will Make Life ‘Harder’ for Obama
By Scott Whitlock | September 25, 2015 | 12:04 PM EDT
ABC’s breaking news coverage of John Boehner’s resignation from the House
included George Stephanopoulos describing the Speaker as fighting “
guerrilla war” against conservatives. Analyst Cokie Roberts on Friday
lamented “But it is going to be much, much harder for President Obama to
make deals with the Republicans in Congress.”
She worried, “...The people who have pushed him out or made it so
uncomfortable for him to stay are much more conservative and it's going to
be hard for the President to make deals with those people.”
Stephanopoulos insisted Boehner has been “under pressure, fighting
something of a guerrilla war inside his caucus for months from a group of
conservative Republicans.”
On MSNBC, Brian Williams decreed that the Speaker had to “put up” with the
Tea Party while Speaker.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: The other big news, this out of Washington: The
Speaker of the House, John Boehner, you saw him yesterday behind the Pope
Francis in the chamber as the Pope was speaking, announced that he's
resigning October 3. You see him meeting the Pope yesterday. I'm here with
Matthew Dowd and Cokie Roberts. The Speaker said he was inspired by the Pope
to make this move. He's been under pressure, fighting something of a
guerrilla war inside his caucus for months from a group of conservative
Republicans.
MATT DOWD: We’ve have talked all week about the Francis effect and what
effect it would on our country. Well, have the first result of the Francis
effect, which is the speaker of the House announcing he's going to resign. I
wasn't surprised that he was going to leave. This was a great moment for
him. It was a little bit t like the U.S. women's open champion, Flavia
Penneta, who as soon as she won it, she said, “I'm out. I’m resigning.”
This was the big moment. He decided it was time to go. If you talked to
anybody, you know he was very frustrated about trying to manage the
leadership of the House.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And he couldn’t do it going forward without Democrats.
COKIE ROBERTS: He couldn't. And I think he realized that. He does care
about the institution of the House and what he’s probably effected here is
he's probably preventing the shutdown of the government at the end of this
week. I think that's unlikely to happen now. But it is going to be much,
much harder for President Obama to make deals with the Republicans in
Congress, because the people who have pushed him out or made it so
uncomfortable for him to stay are much more conservative and it’s going to
be hard for the President to make deals with those people. |
