Democrats mock globetrotting Boehner, Cantor
A screenshot of a new Democratic website that mocks House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Eric Cantor for their travels during the congressional recess. (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee)
January 12, 2012, 2:45 p.m.
With House Speaker John A. Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor on separate overseas trips, Democrats are taking shots in their absence.
A Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee site -- whereintheoworldisjohnboehner.com -- pounces on the GOP leaders for their globetrotting during congressional recess, when Democrats say they ought be at work on a tax cut plan . . .
For now, Boehner is traveling in Latin America. The speaker met with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos on Wednesday. Stops in Brazil and Mexico were also on the itinerary. Cantor traveled to the Middle East, by way of Paris. The trips were technically bipartisan, as each included one Democrat.
That didn’t stop the DCCC from putting together its website, which includes a photo of Boehner on the golf course and a picture of Cantor in front of the Eiffel Tower, complete with Photoshopped beret.

I just don't get these people. And why are they at these places on the taxpayer's dime? What are the purposes of these trips and which Democrat is along for the ride. That democrat is what concerns me...really....
