‘How would the Left react’ if a Republican White House sent out this graphic?

http://twitter.com/#!/siftyboones/status/519929355208638464 ISIS can wait. What we need to deal with right now is raising the minimum wage: In the 2014 State of the Union address, President Obama called on Congress to raise the national minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour, and soon after signed an Executive Order to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 for the individuals working on new federal service contracts.

Did John Boehner just take a swipe at President No-Boots-On-The-Ground?

http://twitter.com/#!/RBPundit/status/514428106967625729 Or is it? Twitchy readers know that we’re not exactly the biggest fans of Rep. John Boehner. But we are gracious, and we’re willing to give credit where credit is due. And it kinda sounds like credit is due here: Godspeed to the men & women of our armed forces leading the fight against #ISIL terrorists. Nearly 2,000 on the ground in #Iraq. — Speaker John Boehner (@SpeakerBoehner) September 23, 2014 “On the ground,” eh? This is brilliant https://t.co/aggBrDPkDS — L (@OrwellForks) September 23, 2014 Of course, […]

Dems celebrate 6 million O-care enrollees; Requests for proof ignored

"Sir we just sold 6 million of the product!" "We did? Great show me the sales receipt" "We don't have that. Take my word for it" — S.M (@redsteeze) March 27, 2014 http://twitter.com/#!/MelissaTweets/status/449260267008839680 Sounds ridiculous, right? But not when we’re talking about a trillion-dollar health care law. President Obama announced on a conference call today that enrollment for Obamacare has topped the six million mark: http://twitter.com/#!/ktumulty/status/449259087578927105 The victory parade got rolling fast among the Democrats: http://twitter.com/#!/dccc/status/449266866251644928 http://twitter.com/#!/PressSec/status/449263270122487808 If Harry Reid says so, it’s got to be true, […]

Why are President Obama’s favorite journalists all white men?

http://twitter.com/#!/brodigan/status/515268877845274625 White House flack Dan Pfeiffer sat down with BuzzFeed to answer a few questions and the subject of how the president gets his news came up. Particularly, which opinion writers are on the president’s reading list: Obama reads the @nytimes, @ezraklein, @sullydish, and @jonathanchait. All strong choices. http://t.co/5zW5dUseN0 — Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias) September 25, 2014 Why are the president’s top-reads white men? Where’s the diversity!?! But as we are reminded, this list is nothing new at all: Whoa, fascinating: Obama reads @ezraklein, @jonathanchait, and @sullydish, the president […]
