OBAMA On "John's (Boehner) unusual coloring"

[kpete]

Quote of the Day
"I've made a few jokes over the years about John's unusual coloring. I used to think that it was a tan. But after seeing how often he tears up, I've come to realize: That's not a tan. That's rust!"

-- President Obama, on House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) at the Gridiron dinner last night.
