  1. John Boehner says it was at his family's tavern in Cincinnati that he learned all the skills he needs for his job as House minority leader.

    "Great food. Great people. I did dishes. I waited tables. I tended bar."

    By his own account, Boehner is an "accidental congressman," especially the Republican part.

    "I grew up as a Democrat. I've got 11 brothers and sisters and my dad owned a bar. I'm the last guy you thought would be here, but I'm a product of the American dream," Boehner says.
