"Listen, this is a very big political problem," said House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), explaining that he had to give his rank-and-file members a chance to vote. "There are two things that go on in this town. We do public policy, and we do politics. And you know, most bills at the end of the day, the politics and the policy kind of come together, but not always. And we are into one of these situations where this has become a very hot political potato."Let me try and interpret what the new House Majority Leader, Mr. John A. Boehner is trying to say here; It's an election year and Dubya's approval rating is at about 35% and polls are running at close to 70% against turning over the management of our ports to the United Arab Emirates so it isn't always about what you might feel is right but what you had better do to get relected. Thank you for your candor, Mr. Boehner.
