Boehner: I’m Doing This Today for the Right Reasons

‘You all heard me say it, I’m a regular guy with a big job’

REPORTER: "Can you talk about what you think your legacy is as you’re leaving? What are your most important accomplishments, and what are you going to do on November 1st? Are you moving to Florida?"
BOEHNER: "I was never in the legacy business. You all heard me say it, I’m a regular guy with a big job. And I never thought I’d be in Congress much less I’d ever be speaker. But people know me as being fair, being honest, being straightforward and trying to do the right thing every day on behalf of the country. I don’t need any more on that."
REPORTER: "Mr. Speaker, you seemed very relieved."
BOEHNER: "Zippidy do-da, zippidy day."
REPORTER: "I mean by speaking to — singing zippidy do-da, what are your plans next and also have you talked to — have you spoken to ---"
BOEHNER: "You know when you make a decision this morning, you haven’t had — really haven’t had anytime to think about what I’m going to do in the future. I have no idea, but I do know this. I’m doing this today for the right reasons, and you know what? The right things will happen as a result."
