At least we agree on something with John Boehner. Yes, Republicans are barbarians and he is one of them :)
Well that's what John Boehner said while joking with Joe Biden last night before President Barack Obama's job speech before the joint session of Congress.
ABC News caught a joyful conversation between Vice-President Joe Biden and Speaker John Boehner while they were waiting the president to appear before the joint session of Congress.
John Boehner greeted the Vice-President with a friendly hug or something close. And he said jokingly "I'm one of those barbarians". Probably he meant to say "terrorists" because it was reported that Biden called them "terrorists" at a Democratic caucus meeting last month.
Or he was referring to Biden's speech in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Labor Day when he referred to Republicans as "Barbarians" :
This is a different kind of fight. This is a fight for the heart and soul of the labor movement. This is a fight for the existence of organized labor. You are the only ones who can stop the barbarians at the gate! That’s why they want you so bad
With good humor VP Joe Biden replied " Where's the gate, man, where's the gate!"
TRANSCRIPT:
Boehner: I'm one of those barbarians
Biden: Where's the gate, man, where's the gate!
(laugher)
Biden: We've got a heck of a lot of work to do
(Boehner cut)
Boehner: I went golfing in August. Seven birdies, five bogies. I shot two-under.The next day, I shot an 86! One day I play great, the next day I play awful, but this was the round of the decade.
Biden: That's incredible.
And Boehner and his minions dared criticize Obama for playing Golf on his 10 days vacations on MV.
