Lessons for Boehner from Pelosi
What history may know as the Era began yesterday. With what should have been probably the most anticipated and widely covered House transition in recent memory,http://hicina.com/bbs/,gianmarco lorenzi sale, John Boehner mounted the rostrum for the first time because the 61st Speaker of the home of Representatives. He got off to an excellent start.
Boehner won't be remembered for his oratorical flourishes. The contrast between Boehner brief address and the one to which outgoing Speaker Nancy Pelosi referred in her farewell remarks, John F. Kennedy inaugural address, delivered a half century ago this month, could not have been starker. Which may be all to the good.
Something Boehner is not is flashy. Indeed,http://www.anhkc.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=159001&extra=, the flashiest thing about him may be his selection of neckties (he favors bright pastels). He is also a serious individual who knows his place. And that place is in the House of Representatives.
Boehner does not desire to be president. Sixteen years ago, Newt Gingrich, who,giuseppe zanotti red pumps, gave a previous address which was something like a State from the Union Address. Nor does Boehner see himself as the face from the Republican Party. No Michael Steele is he. In the nation first full peek at him as speaker,Giuseppe Zanotti Factory, Boehner,Merrell Shoes,http://www.zhixing.bjtu.edu.cn/, a principled conservative, showed himself less ideological and much more prepared to use sleep issues than have his four predecessors.
In the few moments about the Congressional stage today, Boehner showed himself a guy interested in assuring that the House gets down to business, addresses the nation problems, functions effectively as an institution, than in scoring points. That's the reason Boehner has been deflecting spotlight away from himself and toward the House membership, be they the bears who chair House committees or the 80 boisterous freshmen, a lot of whom sense an enthusiastic allegiance towards the Tea Partiers who fueled their campaigns. [See editorial cartoons concerning the Tea Party.]
That's also why Boehner focused less on policy than you are on procedure. He clearly intended all that discuss allowing more rules than had for internal, rather than external consumption. Most who observed Boehner on television do not know what an rule is and may not care less. People who do, totally on the interior, see such talk a sense of empowerment and of ownership of what the House produces. Boehner entire talk is visible as a challenge to people who comprise the institution he currently leads to show the public and to the world that the American idea of self-government still has meaning. [See a roundup of political cartoons on Democrats as well as on Republicans.]
He started by saying how and humbled he was to be selected by his peers his or her Speaker. Minutes before, he demonstrated just that when he declined to vote within the election for House Speaker. (The other was Oregon Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio.)
Boehner is said to take inspiration from the last Ohioan to serve as Speaker, Nicholas Longworth,best soccer cleats, whose picture hangs in the new Speaker office. The similarities between the two are obvious. Both men were Republicans, Cincinnatians, and recognized for their affable, even dispositions. But Longworth was also an aristocrat,http://www.crh001.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=38822,Roger vivier outlet, son-in-law of the president (Theodore Roosevelt),roger vivier pilgrim shoes,http://www.xiehou.me/xiehou/viewthread.php?tid=890033&extra=page%3D1&frombbs=1, as well as an accomplished violinist. A far more appropriate parallel between your self-made, earnest,Roger vivier, hard-working Boehner may well be a Democrat, who had also put himself through school, who carved out a legacy based on the affections of his peers, and was deficient in flash and flare,merrell shoes military discount,http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?campid=5336182395&customid=pubster&toolid=10013&mpre=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4x-24CM-PVC-LED-CAR-TRUCK-FLEXIBLE-NEON-LIGHT-STRIP-RED-/320609712722, Sam Rayburn. [See who donates to Boehner.]
Both men had to work with presidents of the opposite political party. Rayburn did so late in his tenure as speaker; Boehner will have to get it done considerably earlier. Both knew that to ensure that the president to consider them seriously and meet them half way, they had to keep their troops in it. (Which should explain the early vote on repealing Obamacare.) Through their uniting,discount merrell shoes for kids, Ike and Rayburn built the interstate highway system and the Saint Lawrence Seaway (our last major purchase of infrastructure),gianmarco lorenzi pumps, established NASA,Roger vivier flats,http://360pingjia.net/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1049702, DARPA,merrell sandals,http://www.b-generated.com/shop/epad/epad.cgi?page=230, and all the nation's security and educational software and hardware that kept america strong,http://www.vill.tabayama.yamanashi.jp/cgi-def/admin/C-002/bb1208/visit/main.pl?PAGE_NUM=1, secure, and competitive (during its first moment), and kept the peace.[Check out our editorial cartoons on healthcare.]
Ike visited great lengths to preserve the relationship he had built with Rayburn and to keep his trust to begin antagonizing his own partisan base. As president, he complained of triangles that drew together powerful Congressional committees, Pentagon brass who answered for them,http://www.machi3c.com/uchome/upload/space.php?uid=151855&do=blog&id=259295, and munitions makers who lobbied for development of weapons systems and contributed to political campaigns. Early drafts from the now famous farewell contained the word prior to the words and Ike struck it. [Read more about national security, terrorism and the military.]
Rayburn was not well. He would perish within months after Ike left office. Cognizant of all of the two had achieved together,roger vivier online, the Republican president did not want the Democratic speaker,Merrell boots, who considered himself the personification of Congress, to consider the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was ungrateful. What Obama says and considers Boehner when the time comes for this president to move on will say much concerning the two men. For the following two years, at least, whether they or their supporters enjoy it or not, fate has joined both at the hip. How they respond will be interesting to look at.
