John Boehner gets his first Air Force One invite from Obama


John Boehner and Barack Obama’s relationship reached new heights Friday.


The Republican House Speaker took his first trip with the president on Air Force One as the two headed to Charleston, South Carolina, to mourn the nine African-American men and women killed at their church.

Obama has never been known as much of a schmoozer, but in recent months he has treated fellow lawmakers from both parties to trips aboard Air Force One with him as a way of currying favor and engaging in discussions with a captive audience.


The president flew to Charleston Friday with a large group of lawmakers, including not only Boehner, but also Republican Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Reps. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and John Lewis (D-Ga.).


Boehner carried with him an envelope containing a first-flight certificate, given to passengers when they make their first trip with a president aboard his plane.

Obama handing out trinkets and certificates to butter these folks up....gotta love this guy...just a brilliant politician

John will probably frame his certificate and 30 years from now, he will look back at it and cry.

Boner will be gone soon. They have made one run at him already. The troops
are restless and all he does is give into Obama over and over again.

The first guy with his hand across the aisle...

Him and that got McCain.

[Oh, Gee!!]

That used to be viewed as a positive asset in a politician. I hope we get back to that soon.

Only the side that is not in power wants bipartisanship. Both parties scream for it when they are the minority and when that party does become the majority they totally ignore what they've been screaming. That goes for Repubs and Dems both.

Only McCain and Boehner do it...and they are fools for not realizing they are getting played.

You're right though, if all/most politicians did it....that would be welcomed. But, that's never going to happen.
