Do you find John Boehners constant boobing offputting?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I know I’ve kind of tipped my hand with the thread title but I’m curious what others think about this guy. I think he comes across incredibly foolish looking and appears to be totally unable to control his emotions. I think a man, or woman, in a position of national power like he is should display exceptional bearing at all times barring the death of a family member or some other personal tragedy etc…

Do you find his uncontrollable emotions to be off putting and/or a display of weakness?

Well, I’m female if it matters. His crying doesn’t bother me. Of course, I cry at commercials these days, so there is that.

3

Awfully thin skinned for a politician, let alone a leadership position.

4

I can’t decide whether he’s more of a pussy or an asshole, so I’ll take the middle ground. Thus, he is a taint.

5

Boobing?

6

Yeah… “boobing”?

7

Are you guys serious? Ok…

Crying, pouting, sniffling, choking up etc…

8

Never ever heard that definition. Not even urbandictionary has an entry like that.

But yeah, very strange for a politician. Especially such a high profile, ridiculously visible position such as speaker.

9

Boobing? Is boob a verb now?

It would be more acceptable for a liberal. A “boobing” conservative is a little off-putting.

10

If he was a normal guy, I’d give him a pass.

But he’s a jerk and he’s addicted to tanning salons. So the crying puts him over into buffoon territory.

11

You get to tell the opposition to go fuck himself, or you get to weep. You don’t get to do both.

12

LOL. +1

Yep.

I’ve heard of boohooing and blubbering, but never boobing. I think you might’ve misread or misunderstood something, Cubsfan. As for Boehner- I don’t know how often he really does this compared to his reputation, but yes, when people get excessively emotional at mundane events for no clear reason I do roll my eyes. It’s not a judgment of their supposed inability to control their emotions, it’s a suspicion that they want to be the center of attention.

14

Honestly, I think it’s cool that a man in a position of power and responsibility can cry in public without it completely torpedoing his career or destroying his reputation. Hopefully, this is a sign that we as a culture are finally moving past all that “boys don’t cry” bullshit.

15

I think he’s a pathetic little man, but it has nothing to do with his crying.

16

Can we split the vote? In general, it does not really bother me that Boehner cries or get emotional. Sometimes, however, it just seems inappropriate for the setting.

17

Yeah, boobing is a stupid term, plus it sounds misogynistic.

18

He’s just a Sensitive New Age Guy

Boehner is as cool as fucking ice, he has you in his control. The man was just reelected to Speaker, he knows what he is doing.

Now we know what Boehner is hiding under all that fake tan.
