So lets summarize the last 24-48 hours for John Boehner:

1) He walks away from negotiations with Obama on a grand bargain which would have 3 to 1 ratio of cuts v. revenue and would knock off $4 trillion from the deficit;
2) He enters a public PR war with the president and polling is showing him losing;
3) he floats a bill which the CBO shows as cutting less than $850 billion from the deficit;
4) he is told by a GOP congressman that his bill will not pass;
5) he cancels the vote today on his bill and is "rewriting it", but it can't even pass the Senate and Obama won't sign it anyway;
6) Cantor is smirking like a weasel waiting to take over.

This guy is a total joke. He is simply irrelevant and the House looks like a kiddie playground.
