Neutrality

I feel part of the article may be biased. It makes mention of President Obama attacking Boehner by "singling him out." Something like this should not really be here, its not really necessary factual information. Rather it just looks like someone trying to make Obama look bad instead.

Quote from article: "" As Republican House Leader, Boehner is a Democratic target for criticism of Republican views and political positions. In July 2010, President Barack Obama began singling out Boehner for criticism during his speeches.[39] In one speech, Obama mentioned Boehner's name nine times[40] and accused him of believing that police, firefighters, and teachers were jobs "not worth saving."[41] ""

pronunciation of last name

how the last name would be originally pronounced in german is totally irrelevant. going back a sufficient number of generations, all current americans stem from other countries, and no none bothers or tries to pronounce their names in the original language. take pelosi or obama, who both have last names of non-english origin. as a matter of fact, even american last names in the english language are pronounced differently from the way are in britain, the home of the english language. why on earth worry about boehner's "original" pronunciation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.154.0.250 (talk) 00:37, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of language (German, British, or American english), it's obvious that "Bay-ner" is the pronounciation for his name. Ever heard of Shawn Kemp, and his nickname "The Reignman?" It's pronounced like "Rain-man", not "Reen-man." rock8591 04:03, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
