WASHINGTON (AP) - The No. 2 Republican in the House is comparing some of President Barack Obama's economic policies to those of Russia's prime minister and former president, Vladimir Putin.
The House Republican whip, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, tells The Associated Press that Obama is micromanaging the auto industry to win points with Democratic allies and labor unions.
Cantor said Thursday that Obama's plans for the auto industry are, in his words, "almost like looking at Putin's Russia."
Cantor says the normal rights of secured creditors have been taken away and given to political cronies and the auto workers unions.
The Obama administration says that the roughly $80 billion in federal aid to the car companies, their lending affiliates and their suppliers gives automakers a chance to become viable and competitive.

Agreed. We need more of this talk. Cantor is dead on.

Obozo’s reaction: “I’m the one that got elected.” In other words, he’s going to go merrily along ruining our country. Hope he’s only one-term.

Putin isn't the only foreign leader of whom Zero reminds me.
Italy had "Il Duce".
Now, we have "Il Douche".

Great for him. I just hope he has the intestinal fortitude to not back down. Nothing like someone talking tough one minute and apologizing the next because they may have upset .0001 percent of some special interest group.

No, he looked into Hussein Obama’s eyes. IMO, Obama is much more like Hitler than Putin.
