Boehner: the wrong skin color

  Not the biggest fan of John Boehner, I've always thought he was kind of a good ole boy, grown a little too accustomed to the trappings of power and the elixir of DC. 
  How interesting, now, then, that the dems are using his "deep tan" (He's not the right....color) and his "golfing" as reasons to be skeptical of him. 
  This is pretty incredible, considering the color of skin and proclivities of the opposition. As usual, the opposition often uses their very own faults with which to criticize their rivals.
  Now they are going after Boehner as the big bad boogeyman who will be in charge if Pelosi is knocked off, as if that were so much worse than the jet flying, champagne drinking House leader with the Botoxed visage.
  Try reading an expose on the real John Boehner over at, of course, an English paper. One has to ask why the truth is always revealed in British papers and not American papers.  
   From this expose you learn of the common background from which Boehner has emerged: red-blooded Americans who had 4 kids squeezed into a small bedroom, someone who inherited his mother's olive skin. His sister says, "The "dark hair and olive skin," she said, came from her mother." 
  That certainly is not the picture of privilege painted by the democrats.
  It's pretty remarkable that our president is so cruel and bigoted as to mock the color of his opponent's skin. 
  It's pretty remarkable that he feels comfortable criticizing someone's golfing habits.
   It's pretty remarkable that someone who started with little but ended up with much, lets his party go after the "privilege" of a man who was the second of 12 kids, most of whom are currently unemployed, looking for work, or working at menial jobs.
  Read Toby Harnden over at The Telegraph. As usual, he's on target:
The future Congressman started work as a janitor and took seven years to get his degree – the first in the family to do so – because he had several jobs to pay his way. He joined a plastics and packaging company, rising to president before entering local politics by being elected to the town board.
Harnden warns the dems might not be happy with what they started.
