He is famous for getting liquored up and crying about what a great country we have and the opportunities afforded to him.
So I guess you could say he was a "close the door behind him" kinda guy...
You call him a racist, anti-people scumbag

<snip>
Speaker John Boehner claimed in a Fox News interview with Bret Baier that before there was a tea party, there was John Boehner and the two are one and the same.
I was the tea party before there was a tea party, he said, in context of discussing the schism in the Republican Party and how he would unite the conflicting factions, The Blaze reported.
I understand their concerns. I understand their frustrations, he said. But we have a Constitution that we abide by, and were going to live by it. And that means we have separate, equal branches of government. And whether people like it or not, Barack Obama is going to be the president for the next two years.
He called for unity a common ground to get things done and said he wants to hold Mr. Obama accountable for his executive overreaches.
