John Boehner: New Speaker of the House

In case you didn’t know and live under a rock, John Boehner is the sixty-first speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He was born in Ohio and didn’t have the easiest life growing up. He had eleven siblings and they lived in a two bedroom house right here in Cincinnati. He started working at his parent’s bar when he was just eight years old. He went to Moeller High School and graduated from Xavier University (Go Bearcats) in 1977. He is a very accomplished man given his circumstances growing up. He has really made a name for himself and the fact that he now holds a position as respectable and admirable as speaker of the House is most impressive. He is one of the few people from Ohio that have been chosen over time to hold this position. With all that being said and with all due respect, John Boehner is a cry baby. He was interviewed, on live television, and he cried. A lot. Not just a tear, but literally bawled. What grown man gets extremely hysterical on national television? John Boehner. He didn’t even make an attempt to control himself. The reporter interviewing him asked him if he was ashamed that he cried, and he simply responded that the public could take him for who he was. I for one would not like to witness a grown man, holding the third position for the presidency, to cry like a baby on national television. I mean really…has he never heard of keeping composure?
