Boehner: Obama disrespectful to me By: Jake Sherman December 12, 2010 05:30 PM EST
John Boehner thinks President Barack Obama is engaging, smart and brilliant but also remains smarted by the president accusing him of taking taxpayers hostage to secure a tax break for the rich.
In an interview with Leslie Stahl of “60 Minutes” for broadcast Sunday night on CBS, Boehner said Obama showed him “disrespect” by calling him a hostage-taker.
“Excuse me, Mr. President I thought the election was over,” Boehner said, according to a transcript obtained by POLITICO. “You know, you get a lot of that heated rhetoric during an election. But now it's time to govern.”
The relationship between the president and the incoming House speaker was set to be the focal point of the Sunday night piece, the most recent foray by Boehner into prime-time news.
Their most recent example of working together bore fruits for the GOP. The deal Republicans secured on the Bush-era tax cuts, which also extend unemployment insurance, has the GOP giddy. Boehner said he found “common ground” with Democrats, but said he rejects using the word “compromise.”
Boehner’s kind words about the president also come with a caveat: the two see the world very differently.
“I think he's engaging,” Boehner said in the taped piece. “Certainly smart. Brilliant. But— you know, we come from different backgrounds. And I think our view of the economy— is also very different.”

Oh, great a leader who whines. Get over yourself John and lead. barry doesn’t like you and he never will, boo freaking hoo.
Correct. The fact that he expected something different shows how dumb he is. Boehner still doesn’t understand what he’s up against and isn’t ready to lead the new revolution.
Hey Boehner, you’re better then Obama.
Grow some thicker skin, stop whining and stop crying!
John Boehner thinks President Barack Obama is engaging, smart and brilliant-
Of course he is: The guy who talks of 57 States, Breathalyzer instead of inhalator, Penn State Nittaly Lions, Hospital Corpseman - yea he is real brilliant. I am now starting to wonder where Boehner is coming from.
This borders on “whining” like when Knute (Nute?) G. had to ride in the back of AF 1 or something like that, BUT, but Boehner points out a very valid example to show that it is Bambi who has no class. Reminds me of the Godfather telling the guy he did not even invite him to his daughter’s wedding and now he is here in his home asking a favor. Hum. Boehner has to quickly grasp the power he has.
I think something other than a duffer but almost a homonym. ;)
Quit whining and kick ass you wimp!
“What a stupid statement. The frickin’ Republicans will never learn will they?
I was thinking the same thing when I read this. The zero is not brilliant, he is an affirmative action stooge and puppet for Soros and that’s that!
BoooooHooooo Listen Boehner get off your butt and kick this little panty waist around and win one for the Gipper!!
Obama is not a thug. He is a girlyman . Does he look like the thugs in the Untouchables? NO! He would be shining Al Capone’s shoes .
Well, Obama did attend a militant Black Supremacist church for 20 years. What did you expect?
Boehner is up against a racist , who hates him. Not because he is Boehner, but because he is Obama’s vision of “The Man”.
You are not going to get anywhere calling this man smart and expecting him to respect you.
The only way to treeat him is from a position of power. You give Obama an inch and he will take a mile.
Fight him tooth and nail for two years while we find a real American President.Stop trying to play Mr. Nice Guy, He will spit all over you.
Where’s the barf alert after the topic heading. This makes me sick.
Show me his brilliant records on ANYTHING..then ill judge his smartness
I didn’t need to see Boehner’s blubbering on 60 Minutes. Good grief.
