B.O. slaps down Plugs at immigration confab
2014-11-10
[WEEKLYSTANDARD] President B.O. and Vice President Biden might not see eye-to-eye on immigration strategy. A hint of an apparent disagreement was on display during Obama's lunch with congressional leaders on Friday at the White House.

"The meeting was tense at times, according to a senior House Republican aide. The aide was not authorized to describe the back-and-forth publicly by name and spoke only on condition of anonymity," the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reports.

"Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid
... the charismatic senator-for-life from Nevada, currently majority leader ...
, about to lose his grip on the upper chamber, barely said a word. The aide said at one point as House Speaker John It is not pronounced 'Boner!' Boehner
... the occasionally weepy leader of House Republicans...
 was making an argument on immigration, Obama responded that his patience was running out and Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
 interrupted to ask how long Republicans needed. Obama angrily cut Biden off, the aide said."

#1  Democratic congressional aides said the president wasn’t cutting off Mr. Biden, who was making a rhetorical point that Republicans refused to commit to bringing an immigration bill to the floor by a specific time.

Of course. When you have to lie, you done wrong.

When you think I believe your lie, it tells me what you think of me.
