Valid, but I do think the mockery of Boehner is mean-spirited and over the top. It also perpetuates a bad societal trope about men being wimps if they display emotion, which I think is unhealthy.

As for the OP, yeah, that was mostly my point.

I dunno, I gently brought the subject up so it could be examined here at ATP&N. Perhaps the attacks on Boehner will become more intellectual and less slaps at him crying in the future when pics and videos of Obama crying can and will be shown in every thread.

I agree. I find it humorous and I am skeptical at its sincerity, but all in all it is just not important. We all have our idiosyncrasies.

ERMAHGERD, The President shows emotion. More news at 11.

Btw, did anyone catch Obama signing "Thank You" to the deaf woman that reached out to him at his Election night convention? So classy.

Was this from 2008 or did he do it again? If so, that's like trying to use the same pick up line twice in a bar.

Please stop it. Wasn't funny on reddit, it's not funny now and repeating it here won't make it hip either.
