Golf summit for Obama and Boehner? The optics are horrible and these guys are out-of-touch

What the hell is John Boehner thinking?

Obama is being Obama, but Boehner now has to act like an insensitive ass too? 36 million people are out of work and they don’t give a hoot that POTUS and TSOTH are taking in a friendly game of golf while people are struggling out there.

We know that the people advising Obama are a bunch of idiots. But, now we know Boehner’s advisors are just as idiotic.
