Reporting from Washington —

House Speaker John A. Boehner said Sunday he thinks the Obama administration handled "a very difficult situation" in Egypt about as well as possible, undercutting potential Republican presidential candidates who have charged that President Obama botched the U.S. response to a popular revolt against a key ally.

Boehner, the nation's top Republican elected official, told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he thought there was a need for an assessment to determine why the U.S. intelligence community "didn't have a better feel for" the grass-roots movements that felled authoritarian regimes in Tunisia and Egypt in recent weeks. But he treaded lightly, declining to accuse the spy services of failing.

What is it with this "leader?" He cries a lot...in public, and he praises Obama too much for my liking, especially on situations like Egypt that Obama did not handle properly (Obama essentially flip-flopped and then ended up supporting the Muslim Brotherhood).

[Huskrrrr]

Great.... another RINO Obama bootlicker.

Gregory was setting him up with the questions about personal conduct reflecting on the fitness to serve. I hope the Speaker has nothing to fear from the probe you know is underway.

[Prokopton]

Crybaby has got to go.

Mubarak tells Israeli official that Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing
but Borer does?

[griswold3]

‘about as well as possible’ isn’t exactly praise where I’m from. Oh, that’s right, I’m Boehner’s neighbor.
This is an evolving situation. I don’t think there’s a need for constant denigration like was done to George W. Bush.

[hinckley buzzard]

Can anyone imagine Pelosi giving George Bush credit for the way he handled...anything? F*ing Beltway Boehner, he still doesn't get it.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Let me rephrase that:

Mubarak tells Israeli official that Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing
but Borer thinks Obama does know?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Yeah, sometimes just keep the mouth shut is better.

[Paladin2]

Boner’s handling of Zer0’s actions are a failure.

[Renegade]

Boehner PULLS a Boner !

[barbarianbabs]

I cannot trust a cryingman. Just eeewwwww.

[Paperdoll]

And how does Boehner rate this Administration’s handling of Arizona?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Talking about Boehner, not you. :>)

[bereanway]

Has Boehner been on a three week drunk? This administration has been all over the map, but the majority of the time they’ve been supporting exactly what the MB wants.

[Bronzy]

Looks like we still have a lot of House cleaning to do in 2012.

[fortheDeclaration]

Once these guys get power, they become corrupt.

[barbarianbabs]

are you a kindergarten teacher or a social worker?

[soundapproach]

Yep... we’re toast in 2012 if we don’t get a majority leader with some Kahonas.
