John Boehner has to be suffering from significant depression to be that easily reduced to tears. I know - been there, done that. What's sad is that all the crap he's a part of - blocking legislation that will directly impact the ability of those children he tears up for to realize the American dream - reduces the chance that they will be ever be able to realize that. So, it's no wonder he gets emotional about it - likely lots of guilt going on inside there.

Amazing performance by Boehner. He breaks up talking about schoolchildren being able to achieve the American Dream, while voting to deny national health care for all, and vowing to vote against unemployment benefits for the parents of many of those children unless the wealthiest get their tax breaks. Typical of many republicans, he opposes a woman's right to choose, but then wants nothing to do with those same children once they are born. The guy doesn't need a tanning booth, he plays golf over 150 days a year. Look up hypocrisy in the dictionary and you can see pictures of Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Kyl, Bachman, Palin, (insert your own repulican) and all those over at Fox who preach deficit reduction, and bend over backward to tack $700 billion more on the debt for their rich contributors. Boehner was one of Jack Abramoff's biggest cash recipients, but the last two republican speakers were run out of the House. Boehner shouldn't be far behind.

This man is a raving lunatic. He is either on the verge of, or is constantly in the throes of a Major Emotional Breakdown! He needs a drink and America needs mental help for electing these fools back into office. Message to America: You sat on your hands while Rove,Cheney & Bush (Jeb not George) stole the election, sneaked into the White House, looted the American Treasury, started two unfunded wars and broke the China on their way out the back door while making enemies all over the world! The last Administration almost destroyed this country, we would have had no Automobile Industry, our financial system would have collapsed and health care along with the middle class would have disappeared. We were on the verge of becoming a Third-World-Nation and it still is a possibility. Think what kind of shape we would have been in if John McCain and Sarah Palin were running this country!

AND YOU LET THESE FOOLS SNEAK BACK INTO POWER! WHERE'S MY PASSPORT.

[Which John Boehner will show up as speaker? The compromiser that he's been in the past, or the more hard-line conservative of late, who's aligned himself with the Tea Party that helped bring him and his party back into power. ]
---------------------------------------
he's a rabid authoritarian ... a personality profile that does not deserve to be anywhere near a high seat of power. anyone who claims that he 'does not accept the word compromise' should not be in any representive body ... anywhere.

Boehner appears to be extremely emotionally unstable and unfit to hold such an office. I also believe that he has been a part of this country's problems and, therefore, very unlikely to be a part of the solution.

He strikes me as the type who would conspire to get rid of the President and V.P., so he could obtain his greatest goal, the Presidency. I wouldn't put it past him to step it up to felony levels to accomplish it.

Just doesn't look all that stable to me.

What a waste of electricity to see old orange faced Boehner! His policies are as repugnant as his face with those dead eyes. I wish him and his fellow neanderthal corporate lackeys NOTHING but disaster in the next two years. These repulsive phonies deserve nothing less!!
