Obama admin: Boehner has ‘Putin envy’
Washington Times ^ | Sept 19, 2013 | By Dave Boyer

President Obama’s spokesman said Thursday that Speaker John A. Boehner suffers from “Putin envy,” after the speaker’s office criticized Mr. Obama in a video for being more willing to negotiate with the Russian president than with House Republicans.

“The video, I thought, demonstrated a little Putin envy, a little odd bit of Putin envy, on behalf of the speaker, but maybe he can explain that,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney.

From a logical standpoint, the preference for one over the other is mystifying.

It sure is.

Lost in all this is how Boehner continues to move heaven and earth for his BFF Obama despite the insults and abuse. I think we know what Obama found in Johnny’s FBI file.

I prefer Obama. He is an incompetent wanna-be tyrant.

Putin is a competent wanna-be tyrant. He’d already be a full-blown tyrant, but it will take time to rebuild the Gulag Archipelago, the NKVD, and find his own Beria to run it all.

The competent one will implement the tyranny sooner and much more securely than the incompetent one, with much less chance of failure.

So between the giant douche and the turd sandwich, I guess I’d have to go for the giant douche.

Hard to argue with that. I highly doubt we’d enjoy life under Putin’s able thumb.

Obama has CHILD envy. He proves it every freaking day and that smug piece of crap he has for a spokesperson fits him perfectly.

I’m no fan of Boehner but that’s just a catty, stupid thing to say.

So they think Boehner is looking for a way to make Obama look weak and stupid?

Lol... 0 doesn’t need any help looking weak and stupid, so white wash has to project those characteristics onto others.
