Barbara Walters Rips Tearful John Boehner: 'This Guy Has an Emotional Problem'

I am very emotional as well. Some people just are. That doesn't mean that they can't be effective. There are a lot of extremely intelligent people with strong leadership qualities that are just simply emotional. One thing is for sure, you'll never have to doubt their compassion or sincerity.

I'm definitly disappointed in her. I thought she was the one with more feelings than that. She didn't make fun of Oprah when she made her cry!

Every time he says American Dream he gets emotional. I think he wishes that dream for everyone. You don't get it from the government. You have to work hard and have good luck along the way.

Let me tell you the real reason John Bohner does not visit schools and why in the past he cries for the children. Because deep in his heart he knows he does NOT represent them or their families..in fact he goes to DC and votes for bills that will suck money from their families and add more debt onto them and their families for the uber wealthy. When he looks at them he cries because deep in his heart he knows he is wrong and can not look at them. He knows they do not stand a chance how hard they work and study....and he is the biggest reason...

John Boehner is a fine man who cares about the principles our country was founded on and wants to make sure that everyone will continue to have the freedom to pursue their goals and dreams. Tears have nothing to do with his intellect - his heart is in the right place. Our country is currently heading in the wrong direction and we need the leadership of John Boehner to turn it around. As Speaker of the House he will take the lead in these efforts and give us hope for a better future than we have right now. GOD BLESS JOHN BOEHNER!!

What a fraud. Did he weep when his party wanted to increase the deficie by billins of dollars so that the multi millionnares and billionares could get more money in their pockets. yet leave unemployed people defenseless? No he did not weep for the millions of people that are still unemployed after more than 99 weeks of not finding a job. I truly beleive if left up to the left wingers middle class people will be eliminated entirely from society and there would just be really poor OR sujpe rich people in this country. It's shameful the rich are not satisfied with what they have.

Well Barbara, I don't know about you but as I get older, (63) I find that I get tearieyed (sp?) more easily than I use to. My mom is the same way so I suppose that is where I get it from. So I don't think it is a bad thing if Boehner does weep once in awhile.

Are Republicans so emotionally delicate ? Glen Beck is constantly crying on his show. Probably just crocodile tears because these guys are "in it" for lining thier wallets. They are snickering and smiling on the inside.

Reporters who followed Boehner during the campaign, said they never saw him be emotional. Even his wife said when asked by Leslie Stahl "does he do this ofter?", said no. His emotions are manufactured for the largest media exposures. What a sad little man.

Show me what brings a man to tears, and I'll tell you alot about his character. John is a man who loves America, knows that only in this great country, can you fulfill you dreams if you work honestly and hard enough. Good work John Boehner, we are lucky to have you.
