Call to Caption: Obama and Boehner

UPDATE, Nov. 23: President Barack Obama sat with Speaker of the House John Boehner during a meeting with a bipartisan group of congressional leaders in Washington, DC. We received an overwhelming amount of submissions for the pair! The community shared some hilarious captions, but there could only be one winner:

During a team building exercise where you have to say something positive about the person to the right of you, Obama gave Boehner a gentle pat on the shoulder and exclaimed, "The tan looks good John." But, because of the tension between the two parties, Boehner never could be sure...

Hey, Mr. Boner, you need to get rid of the fake tan from a spray can and try a different appearance. How about acting like a snob who cries at the drop of a hat? Forget it; you do that most of the time already, you cry-baby Boner.

In my opinion..I would work from just beneath the McConnell's and Boehner's to seek true individuals that would benefit from negotiations and let it float pressure to the top.
With Mitch pulling in 30 million a year he has little to loose or care to gain other than obstructionism search just under the skin for those that can benefit from presidential attention and new ideas. - 6 months ago
