Reporters said they did not talk with one another. A headline of "Obama refuses to shake Boehner's hand" would be just as accurate.

Over the years I've heard a number of people comment about him on a personal level when watching Cspan in the mornings. Virtually every report I've ever heard said that he was actually a very nice person who is generally well liked on both sides of the isle. I dunno of course, but that's what's said of him.

I'm sure he has a few drinking friends and beings as how he is the speaker of the house I'd bet most of his 'friends' are fellow house members.

But what I was getting at originally was in the publics eye he is a dick. Not much else can be said for him. He lies, He obfuscates and he is generally a nasty work. Those facts was what I was getting at. It matters not how he is in the private sphere, it matters what he's like doing out business.
