STEPHANOPOULOS: Okay. Before you go, I have to note that if you do win and you do become Speaker, you will probably have the deepest tan of any Speaker in American history. And there’s actually been a poll out in your state of Ohio, saying 30 percent of the voters think you spend too much time on your tan. And 27 percent don’t like it. Is this something you have to overcome?
BOEHNER: Well, hey probably weren’t there yesterday, when I was out cutting my grass or when I was out riding my mountain bike. All right?
I like the way 0bama teased Boehner about his tan...
“In his monologue, Obama made a reference to trying to reach out to Republicans in a bipartisan way. He said that he even reached out to Boehner because they had a lot in common. “He is a person of color, although not a color that appears in the natural world,” joked the President.”
Apparently Boehner laughed at the jab.
BOEHNER: People in my district are obviously too smart to worry about a guy’s tan when picking a congressman. That’s why a Republican represents that district. District with people as shallow, stupid, and short-sighted as the ones you’re describing end up with a Democrat in Congress!
