Really, he said that.
He also said:
“You know, you get a lot of that heated rhetoric during an election. But now it's time to govern.”
Poor guy, he hasn't read the memo: For people like Obama, Miz Nancy, John Kerry, Barney Frank, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin (The list stretches on to the horizon.), the campaign never ends!
It's what they live for, John! That next thrilling Tuesday when they count the votes and decide who's loved and who's not. Sort of like sophomore class president elections.
Govern? Govern? That's for chumps!
To be fair to Mr. Boehner, he suffers from his sincerity. He's so very small-town Midwest--unglamorous, to the point, blunt, impatient with idiots, just wants to get the job done and move on to the next thing to get done. He's a grownup trapped in a frat house, trying to keep the kids from burning the place down, explaining that Mom-n-Dad have cancelled the credit cards.
OS wishes him well, and does not mean to ridicule him. He's a good man, with a tough job ahead of him.
And that bit about playing golf with Obama? Don't hold yer breath, John. You understand what the game is about, that hard core of integrity and dedication required to play well. He's not about to tee it up with you, good buddy.
