John Boehner

It got to the point where I had to sneak into the White House

As Speaker of the House with a President of the other party, Boehner, like previous House Speakers, met with the president and his staff in order to work out a compromise budget, for all money bills must originate in the House of Representatives. However, Boehner had a faction of his Republican caucus—Tea Party Republicans—who wanted no compromises with the Democrats and the President at all. They were so radical that they would rather put the country into default on its debts than vote for a compromise budget or pass any other legislation that would either require compromise of would even make President Obama appear to have been successful. Whenever they perceived that Boehner was negotiating with the President they would attack the speaker and stop House business. Hence the speaker’s famous quote about sneaking into the White House.

What’s goin’ on?” I ask as I take a seat. “Obviously not this.” He tosses me my shirt from last night. “I found it on the floor of the den. It’s obvious there was some hanky-panky going on.” Okay, so he knows we fooled around. But at least he didn’t find Kiara’s bra on top of my shirt. “Yeah . . . things kinda got a little heated after you and Mrs. W. left the den last night,” I tell him.

I think the biggest challenge we faced in making 'The September Issue' was the fact that people in the fashion world are very suspicious of cameras. They're used to a camera being the enemy, something that is prying and looking to catch you in a compromising position, something that's judging you.
