Breitbart: Rand Paul To Lead Class-Action Lawsuit Against Obama Over NSA Spying
Life unexpectedly gets ever more interesting for our president, who only ever had good intentions, poor man.

#1  Good Intentions, meet Road To Hell.

#2  Some type of sad joke about an ophthamologist and a lawyer? Sorry senator, haven't you heard> They've slain the Rule of Law.

( m ‚ P ) Motion does not equal progress.

Have you picked up your free Ready for Hillary bumper sticker yet?
"...if recent experience demonstrates anything, Hillary has what it takes to be the next President of the United States."
This Maalox moment brought to you by Drudge...

#1  Have you got a "Free Us from Hillary" bumper sticker? If so, I'm in.

#2  OTOH DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > BOBBY JINDAL TO RUN FOR US PRESIDENT IN 2016 - THE HINDU.

Looks like Penn State, Al-Qaeda, Soviet-Russian INTEL, Don Lucchese + Smog-happy Chinese-PLA INTEL weren't the only ones spending $$$ on mind-control = PYWAR/PYOP experiments + other on Madonna fans.

#3  A better sticker would be BEWARE OF HILLARY, Nominated by Obama.
Posted by: Redneck Jim || 01/05/2014 21:11 Comments || Top||

#4  Or maybe "HILLARY", remember Benghazi.

#5  At this point, what difference does it make?


Srsly.

For Obama, a Real and Rare Vacation in Hawaii
[NY Times]
NY Times puffs again, but...

#1  “One of the reasons that the president, I think, likes it here is that he can have a sense of normalcy, even within his security bubble,” said Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii. “He can still feel, perhaps, like he did when he was a teenager, just for a few moments at a time.”

#2  Hell of a picture Fred. I was wondering how he could long hunt while carrying what looks like 15 lbs of claw and feather. It looks like he has something to brace his arm on. If the Han were smart they'd build a wall around Mongolia.

#3  If the Han were smart they'd build a wall around Mongolia. Hasn't that been tried?

#4  The Mongolian 'Eagle Hunters' indeed do use a short arm-rest that attaches to their saddles while they hunt their eagles. They take it off when not needed.

#5  Air Force One was barely off the ground for the 10-hour flight when White House aides began making bold predictions: They expected no urgent news to break during the trip. And this year — for the first time since Mr. Obama took office and began making a regular Christmas sojourn to Hawaii, where he lived as a teenager — they were right.

Of course they were right, The WON DOESN'T LIKE to be disturbed.

#6  Personally, if I were the Iraqi PM, I'd import about two dozen of these guys and put an end to the BS in Fallujah.

All of my Iraqi friends always said the biggest mistake the US made in Iraq was not going into Fallujah and Ramadi in the very beginning and knock both of those places flat.

That being said, Obama is looking for ways to unwind any good that Bush accomplished in the middle east so he can claim he improved things with his lack of common sense.

#7  ...tho interesting that they left Moochelle in HI, reportedly as a (taxpayer-funded) gift from Zero for her 50th berthday...

#8  and Mooch is staying behind for a few days - her 50th birthday present from O and the taxpayers. A separate flight home

#9  We all have birthdays this year, when do we get time off from this president?
Posted by: Thing From Snowy Mountain || 01/05/2014 12:47 Comments || Top||

#10  Her present from him or his present from her?

Or perhaps she's relocating.

#12  Obama is living it up in Hawaii?
Stay there and bother us no more?

#1 
I pray Bill is right.

#2  Bill is great, I'll be seeing him and Senator Cruz at an event in Allen, TX on the 11th.
Posted by: Secret Asian Man || 01/05/2014 16:53 Comments || Top||

#3  I hope Whittle is right. If so let's get on with the fun. However, I'm afraid that these "nekkid" Progressives might go down kicking and screaming and causing more damage than they already have. What the hell were so many Americans thinking when they elected this empty suit?

#4  I'm seriously jealous, S.A.M.
