Boehner Seeks Approval From GOP Leader

House Speaker John Boehner is no longer hiding who the real leader of the Republican Party is.

...Boehner (R-Ohio) outlined the GOP's debt-ceiling plan to conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh on Monday before showing it to his conference.

On Monday during his radio program, Limbaugh talked about the call he received from Boehner. Limbaugh's support of the plan would be advantageous to Republicans because it might help rally the conservative base.

...Limbaugh said Boehner told him he was working on the plan with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). He also said President Obama was irritated at being left out.

"Boehner told Obama that, Obama got aggravated even more that he's been left out of that," Limbaugh said.

He outlined his plan to Limbaugh before showing it to his own people? SERIOUSLY?!

Now we know why Boehner requested the largest gavel possible when he took over the Speakership. He wanted to compensate for his incredibly tiny balls. House Leader my ass.
