This post is at the top of my list for the most assinine juvenile post I have ever read.

There is nothing wrong with a man showing true emotion when reaching such a high position as Speaker of the House of Representavives. One of eleven children. Worked his way through college and has attained a position he could never have dreamed of. It is truly a great accomplishment for him.

Sorry you don't like it, but even conservatives and Republicans have said that Boehner needs to get a grip on his emotions. He cries at the drop of a hat.

That cyborg you call Nancy Pelosi did her share of shedding tears for drama as well.

There IS something wrong with a PERSON crying their way to the top as Boehner has done, he has a HISTORY of crying ....something that would never be tolerated if he was a woman.


Hilary Clinton merely got tears in her eyes during the campaign and was fried for it....some even described it as a "breaking down"....


Oh, BTW, MANY other people have overcome poverty ...and didn't turn into blubbering babies...

If he does, it's because he cares so much about our country and his unlikely road to becoming Speaker...unlike dip-wad left-wing Pelosi who only wants to spend money, increase entitlements and handout money to stupid people that don't deserve it.

I'll make on more comment here;
In the case of crying in public I don't really see the harm. It’s a human emotion, no one gets in a huff if they laugh or get angry. Actually, showing your anger in public as a politician get you votes!
I too feel it’s a lack of control for a grown man to cry in public over political issues but who am I to pass judgment? I gotta go now (sniff-sniff) this is getting to me (sniff-sniff).
I would much rather the man cry than that old witch stay there anyday.

Elections have consequences, get over the fact that you lost and move on.

I hope he does cry, because the average American would be touched by how far this self-made man has come - second in line to the presidency - and then we can watch as the fringe Left mocks and makes fun of him. That should garner a lot of support from those average, everyday Americans the Left will need to get back the majority in the House.

It probably will depend on how many drinks he has had.
