Except with the most orange member of Congress he would much rather play golf, and a bunch of it. They must have tanning beds at those courses. Either way, Boehner has spent plenty of money improving his golf game:
By all public estimations, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is a pretty good golfer.
He should be, given the $82,998 his political action committee has spent on golf outings so far this year, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
The golf events this year sponsored by Boehner’s Freedom Project political action committee have stretched from April until October, from Florida to Ohio. And the minority leader doesn’t hold his events at worn-out municipal courses. The most recent outing was a $20,921.34 event at the plush Robert Trent Jones track in Gainesville, Va., an invitation-only private club that was once also home to the Professional Golfers Association's President’s Cup.
The highest expenditure was a September event at the Jack Nicklaus-designed Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The Freedom Project spent $29,501.20 for an event on the course, which hosts the annual PGA Memorial Tournament.
Another favorite of Boehner’s PAC seems to be the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Fla., where the committee spent more than $30,000 in April and May. The Tiburon Golf Course, a 36-hole course at the hotel, also hosts a professional tournament each year.

So in summary, while millions of Americans are suffering from the continued effects of the failed policies of George W. Bush, lovingly rubber-stamped by Boehner from the golf course, he is spending what is the equvilant of the yearly pay of almost three middle-class jobs to stroll around a golf course and rub elbows with those who hold the working American in scorn.
All the while, he is crying like a spanked baby about the job situation in this country. If he is so worried about it why does he not come off the golf course and really work on solutions to the job crisis?? Why does he not fight to INSOURCE all the jobs himself, Mitch McConnell, and George W. Bush shipped overseas??
This is a recurrent theme of late, but America you are being insulted. Men like John Boehner care less whether your family has jobs, food on the table, healthcare, or a chance to join the middle-class as long as he can work on his golf game, and his considerable tan. Typical Republican, elitist, uncaring and so out of touch it is embarrassing.
