O'Reilly Suggests President Obama Tried To Make Boehner Cry ... Aw

I must admit to being among those who are wondering what is going on with new Speaker of the House John Boehner's habitual crying.

But, I did find this passage (as quoted by The Huffington Post) a little interesting:

Bill O'Reilly expressed concern about Speaker of the House John Boehner's emotional stability on his Friday show, and said that international leaders were "laughing" at him and calling him a "sissy."

O'Reilly was speaking to Fox News colleague Chris Wallace, who will interview Boehner on Sunday. "He's got to get his emotions under control," O'Reilly said. He posited that President Obama may have been trying to make Boehner cry during the State of the Union address. He then compared him to two American icons.

"You've got your George Pattons, you've got your George Washingtons--stoic, tough," O'Reilly said. "A lot of Americans, you know, well if the guy's crying every two minutes, does that mean he's strong, does that impact on his credibility?"

So, O'Reilly thinks the president was attempting to make Boehner cry?

If President Obama can make John Boehner do anything then crying is the least of the things he should be trying to make him do.

Although it does remind me of...

"... these aren't the droids you're looking for."

Tanning Tax Whining Is Ridiculous

I have been amused listening to these far-right commentators whining that President Obama is being racist against white people because of this tanning tax.

A tanning tax is a vanity tax. If people are that obsessed with how they look then they should be willing to spend the little extra to showcase their bodies.

It's interesting how, in some ways, it is fashionable to have darker skin. Does this mean these right-wing nuts (including the likes of Jim Quinn) are saying President Obama does not want more people with darker skin?

Go lay out in the sun. That's tax free.
