UK press once again doing our Press' job.

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.

One of 11 myself, his story is my story, funny thing is I tan nicely too. He’s German / Irish, I’m Scots / German - English.

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.

And of Boehner replaces Pelosi, Pray Very Hard that he has no feet of clay!

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!)

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!
