Default I Am Who I Am!; Boehner

I Am Who I Am!

The Associated Press: House Speaker Boehner on smoking: 'I am who I am'

House Speaker Boehner on smoking: 'I am who I am'

WASHINGTON (AP) — The newly installed speaker of the House admits he's a smoker and that he sometimes gets emotional, and he isn't apologizing for either.

Rep. John Boehner (BAY'-nur) tells NBC in an interview, "It's who I am."
The veteran Ohio Republican, who was sworn in this week to succeed Democrat Nancy Pelosi, was asked about talk that he's too inclined to tear up on occasion. Asked about this by interviewer Brian Williams, Boehner replied, "There are some things I feel really strongly about."

Boehner confirms he smokes cigarettes, saying "it's a bad habit." He says a lot of people tell him to quit, but "I am who I am."

He declined to say what federal program should be the first to be cut in the interest of slashing the deficit.



I guess Smoking it's ok, as long as your name isn't Obama

Ridiculing him for crying at the drop of the hat, or smoking is fun, but I'm willing to overlook all that.

My main issue with Boehner is why, in 2009, he would vote against the debt ceiling, but now, in 2011, when his party has the House, is he suddenly explaining why we absolutely MUST raise it. Where did all that fiscal responsibility go now that Pubs have a chance to pass out their share of pork?

Smoking is legal.

And, as far as I know, Boehner's wife isn't running around trying to get legislation trying to force Americans to be healthier...like a certain other person that this thread isn't about.

The certain person he's talking about is Palin ... who wants all the mama grizzlys to feed their cubs s'mores because it's better to be a fat diabetic kid than a healthy communist one ...
