Chad Ochocinco

Perhaps failing to be scared off by the Tim Thomas White House controversy, Patriots receiver Chad Ochocinco ventured into the world of politics this week.

During Tuesday night’s State of the Union address from President Barack Obama, Ochocinco noticed a stone-faced House Speaker John Boehner sitting behind Obama.

Tweeted Ochocinco: Anybody notice the guy over Obamas left shoulder doesn’t seem very happy and he’s not smiling. He’s not clapping with joy.

After being informed about Boehner, Ochocinco tweeted the Republican: Just read some of your tweets and you seem pretty angry kind sir. I can see you on tv but you’re not smiling. Hope you’re ok.

Ochocinco, who was inactive for Sunday’s AFC championship game after flying to Florida to attend his father’s funeral Saturday, followed up with another tweet Wednesday morning: Hello Mr. Boehner, hoping you are in better spirits today. If all else seems bad in life just remember I love you kind sir.

Boehner, an Ohio representative, eventually responded to the former Bengal: Thanks & good luck in the @SuperBowl we’ll see you in the playoffs next year. Go #Bengals.
