Boehner caught bragging about golf before Obama’s speech
Source: RawReplay
By David Edwards

An open mic caught Vice President Joe Biden (D) and House Speaker John Boehner (R) joking before President Barack Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress Thursday.

“Hey, I’m one of those barbarians,” Boehner said, greeting Biden with a handshake.

“You are,” Biden agreed, lauging. “We’re at the gate.”

“I was playing golf in August,” Boehner volunteered. “Seven birdies, five bogies. I shoot two under. So, we have lunch, sitting around for about an hour and and I thought, ‘Why don’t we play nine more holes?’”

1. I guess they forgot to transcribe the part where Biden ATTEMPTS to ....
.... say "we've got a heck of a lot of work (man?)"

This was a total play by Boehner to "control" Biden. Notice he pulls his hand away and then yanks Biden in.


Boehner is a complete douche.

2. "Why don't we play nine more holes?"
Please, Ohio, let Mr. Boehner have as much time as he needs after the 2012 election to play as much golf as he wants. Apparently his day job takes up too much of his day and really cramps his me time on the course.

6. And I'll bet he improves his lie when no one is looking.
Using the ol' "foot wedge."

5. the video is more interesting
you get to see their cool handshake and how awkward their small talk really is.

I'm sure glad my small talk isn't captured on video! ;-)

and both political parties are in it and we ain't.

they eat better than us, receive better health care than us, and will never suffer from want or privation.

they control us and divide us with infotainment and propaganda, all the while they laugh all the way to the bank, the golf course, the spa, and vacation spots where there isn't a Golden Corral or family dollar in sight.
