Bill O'Reilly Thinks President Obama Tried to Make John Boehner Cry During State of the Union (VIDEO)

by Jeremy Taylor, posted Jan 31st 2011 4:55PM

During his State of the Union Address, Barack Obama complimented House Majority Leader John Boehner on overcoming his hardscrabble upbringing.

In the past, the often emotional Boehner has broken down and cried when reflecting upon how far he's come from sweeping the floor in his father's bar as a young man. Which is why on 'The O'Reilly Factor' (weekdays, 8PM ET on Fox News), Bill O'Reilly suspected the president's compliment may have had an ulterior motive: Getting the speaker to cry on national television.

"Boehner almost cried again in the State of the Union," O'Reilly pointed out. "I think Obama tried to make him cry, by the way."

This has got to be the kindest and gentlest conspiracy theory we've heard Fox News report on all year.

P.U. Piling on all the "comedy" show critical "satire" with the intentional purpose of trying to undermine the image of the new Speaker of the House is cheap and arrogantly superior. O'Bama's motives, as such, could hardly be called "kind and gentle". Quite the contrary. By condescending to The Speaker, O'Bama seeks to limit and control Mr. Boehner's power and influence. A cobra may appear to be "dancing" in front of its victim, but its purpose is to lull sensibilities and then suddenly strike a death blow. Who wrote this crazy article anyway?
