Of course Boehner is correct about the observation that it is more difficult to accomplish things in our system of government. It was brilliantly designed that way by the founding fathers. But this difficulty is based on the assumption that the rule of law applies. In the case of Obama he has systematically ignored the rule of law and Congress has done little if anything to correct that. What I think Boehner didn't understand is that what many of us want is for them to do everything in their power to prevent the president from imperially changing laws. Instead they were more worried about how the media would treat them or whether they would get invited to all the right cocktail parties in DC. He is a victim of his own inaction.
As for his false prophets analogy, he is showing his ignorance on that score. What is common among the true prophets was their courage in the face of conventional wisdom to proclaim the truth and face the consequences. False prohets have no courage and will not proclaim the truth regardless of the consequences. If the new GOP leadership actually shows some courage and fights back against Obama's lawlessness they will be rewarded even if they fall short of their goals.
