John Boehner, Will He Get Along With Obama?

Republican John Boehner is likely to be the next speaker of the House. He seems to be the newest and strongest political enemy for Obama. On Thursday, Boehner appeared on ABC and talked about the president’s personal history, his emotional tendency and last, but not least, their relationship so far.

Asked by Diane Sawyer if he watched Obama’s press conference held Wednesday, Boehner gave a negative answer and continued:” But I’ve read a little bit about it. And there seems to be some denial on the part of the president, and other Democratic leaders. The message that was sent by the American people. When you have the most historic election in over 60-70 years, you would think that the other party would understand that the American people have clearly repudiated the policies that they put forward the last two years.”

Boehner said that his relationship with president Obama is respectful :” Now, listen I have no personal animosity at all towards the president. I get along well with him. And while we disagree, we try to do it in a way that’s – neither one of us are disagreeable”.

His opinion about next year’s votes is very confident in the Republicans’ chance to win the both houses of Congress and be able to repeal the health care overhaul.

Although Obama said that Boehner brings ‘ no new policies” and Boehner reacted by saying that Obama has  a “job-killing policy”, the two politicians are more alike that you might ever think.

They both come from humble backgrounds; they share a great passion for golf; both of them are smokers; each one has two daughters and share the Ohio connection.
