Will speaker Boehner give up wine and cigarettes for presidency?

In a statement he shared on NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno", U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said he has no interest in landing a spot in the White House, adding he is not ready to put red wine and cigarettes behind, for the presidency.


In fact he never had the intention to run for president. That's basing on the question asked by Leno, if he ever thought of running for the highest position in the US government. Instead, Boehner said:

I like to play golf. I like to cut my own grass

I do drink red wine. I smoke cigarettes. And I'm not giving that up to be president of the United States.

Although Boehner gets along with the Democratic President Obama, he expressed that the United States has gone more partisan, resulting to the congress being more divided.

When asked about the in-fighting in his part, Boehner answered:

The funny thing about the so-called infighting is we agree on all the goal

We think Obamacare is bad for the country. We think we shouldn't spend more than what we bring in. We think the president is ignoring the laws. It's all a fight over tactics. It's not over what our goals are.
