Politicians Crying

I was watching 60 minutes today when they were doing a special  on the future speaker of the house, John Boehner. John Boehner has a history of crying in public when giving emotional speeches. Boehner even teared up a bit during the interview. Boehner is not embarrassed of his ability to control his crying, or lack there of. He says that it is "who he is." 60 minutes compared him to a couple of politicians back in the day who have cried, and lost the elections because they "didn't have a back bone," or "weren't man enough." Today, it is a little different. showing emotions in public is not criticized as harshly, and is thought to be good in ways. President Obama cried the day before the election, and now we have Boehner. The news caster said she believes that Boehner will not be criticized harshly today because of our changing society, and I agree with that. I believe that he will be just fine and that even if he is a man, it is not embarrassing to show your emotions in public, it almost makes you more of a man.
