1.) His big head.
GQ names Cantor The Most Powerful Person in Washington Politico: “The Virginia congressman masterminded, and then masterfully carried out, the GOP’s strategy of legislative intransigence that has stymied the White House these past three years,” GQ says of the Virginia Republican. “In the process, he imposed his will on all of Washington, refashioning the city into a hyperpartisan capital of gridlock.”
2.) The fact that his wife is on the board of the biggest media corporation in his district.
Politifact: Cantor’s wife, Diana Cantor, is a member of the board of directors of Media General Inc., parent company of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
3.) The fact that he bet against America for personal financial gain while leading in the faux "debt deal" negotiations.
If the debt ceiling is not raised and the United States defaults on its debts, the value of Cantor's fund would likely increase.
4.) He still behaves and thinks like he did in high school.
5.) That said he was "increasingly concerned" about the "growing mobs" that were Occupy Wall St protesters...and then tried to weasel out of it later.
