Did Boehner squirm when he heard the word lobbyist? Boehner should have mentioned the perks he received from lobbyists.

"John Boehner meets weekly with lobbyists to plot strategy in order to do their bidding legislatively. In return Mr. Boehner has received millions in contributions from Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other financial and banking interests, is treated to posh resorts and shuttled around on corporate aircraft.

Boehner has taken 45 trips on corporate jets over the last several years, been pampered at luxurious resorts all on the lobbyists' tabs, playing golf at their expense. Now who do you think he is going to have in his mind to work for when he is Speaker, the average American or his lobbyist benefactors and their patrons who fete him in the lap of luxury and fund his campaigns and lavish trips?

Will he begin to once again hand out lobbyist payoffs on the floor of the House to his fellow Republicans like he did in 1995?"
