No, wrong action.
Right action would have been to attend, and if (as expected) Obama turned into a lecturer once again, reply comments along the lines of what you've spelled out.
As things stand now, he clearly does not "welcome a conversation," as he peremptorily turned down the opportunity to have it.
As it is now, he's simply marginalized himself to no good end. Dumb.
At some point you have to stop "playing" nice and call Bravo Sierra when you see it. We have gone well beyond the point of being nice and should be full out attacking these liberal scum.
But the real question is, did the lack of "civility" cause Boehner to cry?

Why have a conversation with someone who you KNOW is just going to lecture you no matter when or where that conversation is held? obama is beyond redemption and should just be ignored by the republican party. (Shunned even)

He's a republican. He's already been marginalized by obama. obama doesn't care what republicans or Americans think, and to try to believe otherwise is self-delusional.
The time for talking to obama was over in Feb 2009. We saw then that he didn't care and wasn't going to listen.
The congressman did EXACTLY what was right and proper to do. Expose obama for the failure that he is.
