After a 16-day-long government shutdown and a nearly averted financial crisis that left them with their lowest poll numbers in recent memory, Speaker of the House John Boehner told reporters Thursday that he hopes to remain the leader of the Republican Parties up until the 2014 midterm election and beyond. It is my strong belief that the Republican Parties will remain the majority, especially in the House, for quite some time, said Boehner, adding that it is an honor to serve as his parties standard-bearer. In fact, I expect the GOPs to come back from this stronger and even more unified, and I hope to be at the forefront of that charge. Boehner said his job would not be complete until a Republican from either Republican Party is once again in the White House.
