Obama said, “”You have already drawn some of the brightest minds from academia and policy circles, many of them I have stolen ideas from liberally, people ranging from Robert Gordon to Austan Goolsbee; Jon Gruber; my dear friend, Jim Wallis here, who can inform what are sometimes dry policy debates with a prophetic voice.”
MSM outrage in 5.. 4... where did they all go? Hello?
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Online retailers in China are using U.S. President Barack Obama If you like your coverage you can keep it... 's photo snapped in last weeks APEC summit to sell traditional Chinese outfits.
As per APEC custom, world leaders assembled in front of the international press posing in the host country's traditional garb.
As the summit was held in Beijing, leaders such as Obama, Russia's President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... and New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key donned traditional Chinese outfits.
The ensembles garnered a lot of attention, especially in China where online retailers were offering similar outfits ranging from $27 to $797, according to Vocative news website.
One shop vendor said he received more than 20 orders when photos of the leaders emerged, adding that more orders were made by 'curious' customers.

He even called out incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell by name, saying the Kentucky Republican will not succeed in trying to slow executive action on global warming.
He is really trying to pull the country down with him, isn't he?

Yep Darth, that he is. He's trying to force an impeachment show to declare himself a martyr and instigate riots on a massive scale.
I think he should be, sort of, accommodated. Impeach and or remove all of the lackeys in the cabinet that have aided his tyranny and keep the whole regime in congressional court for the next two years.

The thing that amazes me is that Boehner & McConnell don't seem to get genuinely pissed off about these statements, as this is the second or third of its kind in the past week. I'd want to rip off some heads & shit down some throats if that cocksucker talked smack like that to me.

Too many Mexicans and New Yorkers live here now. It's a far cry from the state that gave us Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. This is why I am so adamantly opposed to amnesty and illegal immigration. I've seen close up what can happen.

Silver lining: the Dem super majority in the CA Legislature was dismantled in this last election, so the Dems all out attempt to jack property taxes has now been very much complicated

Missed the Soviet of Hawai'i, too. Donk sweep, though some races closer than usual.
[PHILLY] The wave was even bigger than it looked on the networks' election-night maps.
Republicans picked up so many seats in state legislatures that the party will control 68 of the nation's 98 partisan chambers come January - the most since 1920, a time of flappers, bathtub gin, and the Model T.
They'll have legislative control in 30 states, to 11 for the Democrats. Counting Republican governors, the GOP will dominate the governments of 24 states (to six for Democrats).
By one calculation, that means about 48 percent of the U.S. population will live in states where Republicans can drive their agenda without significant Democratic opposition.
After the 2010 midterms, a not-quite-as-big year of wins for Republicans, the GOP used sizable majorities in state legislatures to own the redistricting process, as well as to push voter ID laws, restrictions on abortion rights, and antiunion measures. In Michigan - birthplace of the auto industry, scene of early battles of the labor movement - Republicans were able to enact a right-to-work law.
In Pennsylvania, of course, there was a quirk in the Nov. 4 wave. Republicans increased their majorities in the state House and Senate, with more conservative members - even as the party's governor, Tom Corbett, was losing by 9.7 percentage points.
Democrats had touted their chance of taking the Senate in Harrisburg - but ended up losing three seats, and will face a 30-20 GOP majority in January. In the House, Republicans gained eight seats, and their majority - 119 of 203 members - will be the largest either party has enjoyed there since 1958.

My advice is distance yourself from Jon Gruber, he's big trouble for you and the regime. If someone discovers he was connected to Axelrod, involved in either election or he has e-mails from Lois Lerner, you're in monkeydoo.
#6
We hear about all the briefings Obama doesn't go to. This is so, if someone says something he doesn't want to know about, he can't hear it.
The CIA doesn't do plausible denyability at this level of quality.

Seems the President has either memory issues or truth issues.
#8
I think his memory's just fine. He's just a bald-faced liar

Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows Champ lies about everything. Sadly, many dont care as long as the checks show up, or it furthers their idea of paradise for the workers through the ownership of fhe means of production by the proletariat. Oh wait, are the mainstream democrat elites that obvious now? I think so.
[Wash Times] It’s the smug, arrogant, elitist attitude heard around the world. In MIT professor and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber’s case, you can hear his attitude even before he enters a room. For the man who describes the American people as stupid, either directly or in some variation, with his comments captured now on multiple videotapes, Mr. Gruber seems to be proving that he has an issue with projection. Yet if you relied on the mainstream media, you would have a hard time learning about the inside story from one of the law’s architects. Another great piece by Bruce.

Dr Gruber has made, by my estimate, about $6 mil off of this, is a tenured professor at MIT, and gets to live comfortably among people who think he did the right thing. I'm thinking he doesn't care. (There's all those reports he cranked out for various states for $400k a pop...)

Dr. Grubber's attitude is one that is widely held by the leftwing Donks from all that I can tell.

Back in '92 I was working for an engineering company in Cambridge, Mass. My co-workers and I frequented the on campus pub at MIT. I got thrown out. A young female at the table next to me commented on my Southern accent so I told her I was from Alabama. She asked what I was doing in Camridge and when I told her she asked me what school I had attended. I said Auburn University and she said it must not be much of a school as she had never heard of it. I said we didn't think too much of MIT at Auburn because, "Ya'll don't even have a football team". I got tossed out.

Thrown out of a pub in Cambridge Mass? Should definitely be a first page resume entry.

In Cambridge a young female commenting on any aspect of a young man's behavior or appearance is more likely setting him up for a kill. Think Shark Tank.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
