I just saw this blurb about John Boehner calling for Obama's economic team to resign.

Really? Seriously? If the President were to do that what confidence do you have that he would replace it with people markedly differently than those who are currently there? What a stupid thing to say in front of cameras and/or reporters. It ain't gonna happen and the results would likely be worse than what we've got already. This is an idiotic comment that does nothing to advance the Republican Agenda (if such a thing exists) and only makes you look like a fool. How much time do you think Jon Stewart is going to spend mocking this comment and clip?
If you really want to taken seriously and become Speaker of the House, be a leader. Stop spouting this trite, political, soundbite nonsense, gather the best minds at your disposal, put together a group of proposals that address the current issues we're facing (a la Contract With America), run on it, win with it and pass it. Make the President sign it or veto it (a la Bill Clinton and The Contract With America, Welfare Reform, etc.) You've got 10 weeks until election day and the last time I checked, spending bills, etc. originate in the House of Representatives - not the 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
You have an unprecedented opportunity to run, get elected on and implement real change (not this statist, Marxist horse crap they've been repackaging and shoving down our throats for the last 18+ months.) Real dinner table issues that you can run on with common sense solutions (Immigration, Healthcare, Social Security, Government Waste, Corruption and Fraud, etc.) but the only thing in the echo chamber (i.e. "sock puppet mainstream media") that Republican's are getting traction on are the Ground Zero Mosque (and you've framed that situation so completely wrong and over played your hand to the point of sounding exactly like the closet Islamaphobe bigots that the sock puppet media and Democrats accuse you of being) and being obstructionist.
Bottom line - get serious, get real. The Democrat leadership (notice I differentiate between the leadership and all Democrats) are not your friends. They don't want to be your friends. They would sucker punch you with roll of quarters in their fist if they thought it would help them get re-elected and further their agenda. The sock puppets in the mainstream media aren't your friends (and don't want to be.) At this point Middle America doesn't trust any of you (for good reason) - but I believe they will get behind principled leadership and common sense solutions. Start there and see where that can take you.
