kinda wish this would've happened after the Tea Party mandate. Kind of de-balls what the voters think when the Majority Leader pays more attention to the President's wishes than his constituency.
You say "getting to yes" like it's a good thing. Frankly, I'd rather there be a lot more scrutiny on laws/bills/budgets being passed. From both ends. If a Teabangelical introduces a dumb bill, it shouldn't get passed so that "we can now see what's in it". If the President says he's going to shut down the government through veto because he thinks Planned Parenthood getting tax money is more important than, say, paying federal workers or funding education, then let's have some scrutiny and debate. Make Congresspeople put a vote on the record.
Plus, even when Boehner did things I agree with, the manner in which he did it (or walked back from it under pressure, like raising the retirement age) did not help the country move to a better place.
