Why would a show of support from the people who elected him to lead make him cry? I’m sure he’s a decent enough fellow, but we need somebody who doesn’t care what his caucus thinks. Boehner has been in DC too long. I simply think he is weak and ineffective, and his constant blubbering may win points from some, but to me, it makes my blood boil.
Same reason Pres. Bush got teary when he received a roar of approval from the troops in Iraq when he flew in for a surprise visit.
It shows that a hard-working leader appreciates the appreciation.
