Often when one achieves a high office one finds it to be a much more pressure filled job than one expected. Essentially, there is a lot to admire about the manner in which Boehner achieved success, rising from the depths of poverty through unstoppable drive. With all of the obstacles he overcame, with all of the pressures which he faced as a company president, nothing comes close to the pressures of making decisions which affect the well-being of 300 million Americans. I think that Boehner simply cracked under the pressure of the job, and can't bring himself to admit that this extremely prestigious job is too much for him to handle. When under this enormous pressure, his common roots come out in his most inappropriate use of gutteral language. How sad for him. How sad for the Republican Party. How sad for the nation.dalepertcheckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300058908166292311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505180960909001059.post-57070997911593450392013-01-09T17:58:38.310-05:002013-01-09T17:58:38.310-05:00I will agree that perhaps he disrespected his own ...I will agree that perhaps he disrespected his own office as well as Harry's with the comment. On the other hand, he does represent a constituency who would have dearly loved to have done the same thing, so you can stretch it- if you like- to say he was indeed doing his job. If you have a third hand available, I'd submit that that sort of thing likely happens all the time and no reporter was around to catch it. And if I may be a bit whimsical, I wonder how many times Nancy Pelosi has been called a (female dog) to her face in Washington.<br /><br />But I will agree, tentativly with you; I do think Boehner is a bit of a bonehead. Keep in mind, though, he is the reasonably undisputed leader of a deeply fractured party with no clear plan for the future- and as such is doing several high wire acts at once.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505180960909001059.post-63043743496742126262013-01-09T14:38:13.088-05:002013-01-09T14:38:13.088-05:00It is amazing how far the party of Reagan has fall...It is amazing how far the party of Reagan has fallen, that this is our guy; the best we can do.<br /><br />Chili Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869147860242363971noreply@blogger.com
