Some folks just aren’t cut out for public service told Joe, Boehner’s not the only one who doesn’t want someone like you around . Freshman Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) is known for his anti-Obama rhetoric on cable television and his inability to pay his child support payments. But during a recent meeting with constituents in his Chicago-area suburban district, Walsh lost his cool when several attendees asked about why banks have so much power in government. At one point, Walsh even threatened to eject a man who asked Walsh about the revolving door of bank lobbyists infiltrating Congress and financial regulatory agencies. Walsh at one point screamed, “don’t blame the banks … this pisses me off!” After several constituents accurately pointed out that bank lobbyists occupy key positions within Congress, the SEC, and other oversight bodies that are supposed to supervise bank practices, Walsh began sticking his finger close to his constituent’s faces, yelling, “quiet for a minute or I’ll have to ask you to leave.” explained But the other thing to keep in mind here is that public servants aren’t supposed to have breakdowns in public, just because constituents are more familiar with the basics of current events than they are. In this case, Walsh’s constituents calmly presented their congressman with facts, only to see their public servant lose his cool and become enraged. I’m not even sure how a guy like this gets elected.
