Earlier this month, House Republican Leader Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) explained his strident opposition to a public health insurance option by claiming he had never met an American in support of it. “I’m still trying to find the first American to talk to who is in favor of the public option,” Boehner said. “This is about as unpopular as a garlic milkshake.”
Of course, the public option is supported by a majority of the nation, but also by a majority of people in Boehner’s home state of Ohio. Boehner’s comments elicited ridicule, as well as visits to his office by many supporters of the public option. The SEIU has a video of one such visit:
Q: So then now he can’t go on TV and say he’s never heard from real Americans about the public option or healthcare –
BOEHNER STAFFER: I think that if he could go back, he might restate that.

Boner is in trouble in his district. Peaches and I stopped to eat in Ohio and nothing good was said about Boner. The man who cleanend the table said Boner is in office to play golf and live off the voters. Yes those golf trips have caught up with Boner Boy. I did like the people in Ohio as they were glad to get our business with so many empty seats.
