Paul Ryan Backs Obama's Russia Crackdown

Source: The Daily Beast

Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan backed President Obama's decision to issue sanctions on Thursday in response to Russian hacking which sought to influence the presidential election. “Russia does not share American's interests,” Ryan said in a statement. “In fact, it has consistently sought to undermine them, sowing dangerous instability around the world. While today's action by the administration is overdue, it is an appropriate way to end eight years of failed policy with Russia. And it serves as a prime example of this administration's ineffective foreign policy that has left America weaker in the eyes of the world.”

"Nice job, Obama, now let me give you a kick in the ass on the way out."

Sorry, Ryan, history will STILL record you as a sniveling little dick and Obama as a name figure in history.
Slam away if it makes you feel better.

Time to dump Comrade Casino and his RepubliSymp Cronies.

Ryan just showed how pathetically shrunken his soul is by giving a backhand slap to America and America's popularly - and fairly chosen - POTUS.

I seriously hope he avoids small planes or fresh made sushi. Those who know Putin';s modus operandi know why. Here is a hint, Polonium is NOT a sushi ingredient.
