Barack Obama decides to attack House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) and just a few days later the lefty New York Times publishes a shoddy hit piece on the same Republican leader.

Just to be clear, Barack Obama sitting in the pews of Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s church for twenty years doesn’t mean a damn thing, or so we’re told.
