Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) turned down an offer by President Barack Obama to travel on Air Force One to Arizona for a memorial service on behalf of the victims of Saturday’s shooting, a decision that has upset some Democrats.Seemingly, Speaker Boehner thinks all is well, since he will be completing his comments at the reception before President Obama’s begins his speech at the University of Arizona-sponsored memorial event.
Boehner is instead scheduled to attend a reception on Wednesday night on behalf of Maria Cino, a former top House GOP aide who is seeking the Republican National Committee chairmanship. Boehner is backing Cino’s challenge to current RNC Chairman Michael Steele.
No cross-talk. I guess that’s what passes as respect these days.
