John Boehner: the second of 12 kids from Ohio who is Barack Obama's elitist target
UK Independent ^

Posted on 09/18/2010 10:57:48 AM PDT by Weird Tolkienish Figure

President Barack Obama is doing his best to turn Representative John Boehner, the House minority leader, into Public Enemy Number One. If Republicans win back the House of Representatives in November, as polls indicate, he will replace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House.

Thanks, that’s a nice and personal story. I’m glad I read it. And you are right - the UK is doing the job our own press needs to do.

This could one of those “please don’t throw me in that briar patch” moments. Let the Democrats get Boehner’s name out there, build recognition, vilify him as a golf-playing elitist. Then one ad telling Boehner’s life story set to pictures of “The One” in 50 different golfing outings with the names of Obama’s major contributors will refute their entire message, show them for the liars they are, and build likability for Boehner when he assumes the chair as Speaker.

And yes, the UK press has become the only counterpoint to the propaganda press in the US.

If all they can find on him (Boehner) is that he plays golf and he has a tan, well, whatever."

right, because Obama never plays golf. And nevermind his tan.

"Yet Mr Boehner's life story is the type of classic up-by-the-bootstraps tale of the American Dream that can put a tear in a voter's eye."

Not mine! Whatever he is, for me he is also a pompous ass and the epitome of a Country Club elitist. And that tan thing - lose it - it is a sure signal that he is a narcissist, and we don't need another of those.

Boehner can take it. It deserves heat. Obama will end up the fool. He can’t take it.

Good story. Thanks for posting it.

************************************
Mr Boehner’s deep tan is often mocked by Democrats. At a dinner last year, Mr Obama said: “He is a person of colour, although not a colour that appears in the natural world.”

“Like Mr Obama, Mr Boehner is a keen golfer and a smoker. His sister sniggered at the suggestion her brother might ever have been on a tanning bed. The “dark hair and olive skin”, she said, came from her mother.

BO disgusts me.

It is interesting that Hussein would make any kind of comment about the color of Boehner's skin.

I guess to some people, freedom doesn’t apply to having a tan. You probably wouldn’t like me either.

"Why do you thinbk he’s an elitist?"

Because of his out-of-touch attitudes, his pontifications, his pompous manner of speaking. Just because Obozo is using the Alinski method on him, it does not mean that I have to like him. He is a Washington ultra-insider by the very fact that he is a congressional leader. He is one of the better insiders in my opinion but hey, throw the bums out - they have demonstrably failed us.

After all the golf that Zero has played since taking office, I just can't believe the Dems would go after Boehner's golfing.

Keep digging that hole, Dems. I can't wait for November (2010 and 2012!)

He is free to have a tan (his sister apparently says that it is inherited coloring) and I am also free to express my opinions. In the modern world, perception is reality (I am told Obozo is/is not a Natural Black Born Citizen) and the tan looks artificial!

P.S. Obozo is 50% white and probably nearly half Arab and a little bit black if we are to believe the history and make up of his father's Luo tribe. So much for The Second Black President - not a slave bone in his body, but possibly some slaver blood. But I digress.

I have now read the article, and can identify with Mr. Boehner as a Dpression Baby. With his life experience he should make an outstanding Speaker!
