You’re comparing Bush’s reaction to the troops that he sent to fight a war to Boehner tearing up when his fellow DC pols give him a cheer?
Are you related to Boehner?
Just showing that real men DO cry when shown appreciation for the stresses they carry.
Yes, Iraq was a war. However, make no mistake in thinking that these budget debates don't signify a HUGE fight. Ensuring our economic freedom going forward is a major task. Resonsibility for keeping us from tipping toward economic servitude is a huge load which Boehner carries and which the GOP House apparently appreciates.
I don't think it a travesty for Boehner to shed a few tears for the show of appreciation unlike so many of the misguided on FR.
