The incoming Speaker of the House of Representatives took offense to the president's accusation that he and his party were holding taxpayers hostage in order to hand tax breaks to the wealthy, according to a television interview Sunday night.

“Excuse me, Mr. President, I thought the election was over,” John Boehner (R-OH) told CBS's 60 Minutes. “You know, you get a lot of that heated rhetoric during an election. But now it's time to govern.”

"I've got thick skin," he added. "And a lot of words get said here in Washington. You just have to let 'em run off your back. The president was having a tough day."

Yet Boehner, the current GOP minority leader, told interviewer Leslie Stahl later that President Obama had disrespected him personally.

The report also highlighted Boehner's tendency to shed tears -- at losses such as that of his leadership spot in 1998 and and during a speech celebrating GOP victories in the 2010 midterm elections.

11. Let's call it what it truly is. Tax breaks for the banksters. America gives banksters trillions.

Banksters in turn give themselves billions in bonuses. Then the ingrates tell their boy Boehner to exempt banksters from paying taxes on their ill gotten gains.

[pnorman]

37. "Obama had disrespeted me". A vocal segment here on DU is uttering the same whine!

Oh! Boo-Hoo!

[kimi]

39. Ya know, I can respect that some men cry

at some times of great emotion. I understand that. When their kids are born, when their mothers die, when their sons win the Super Bowl, for goodness' sake - among other events.

But Boehner - he's just over the top, to put it mildly. It verges on hysteria. And I don't want the guy 3rd in line to the Presidency to be such a histrionic mess.

[eridani]

40. I wish. If so, good for Obama n/t
