Is John Boehner serious about using ‘the Constitution to get things done’?

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/sandrapatriot/status/423494736284893184 Yesterday, President Obama declared that, when it comes to fixing the economy, he’s ready to use his pen and phone to bypass Congress through executive actions. This morning, House Speaker John Boehner tweeted this response: http://twitter.com/#!/SpeakerBoehner/status/423490370383540226 But some people can’t help but wonder about the strength of Boehner’s commitment: http://twitter.com/#!/deltalima21/status/423490593491140608 http://twitter.com/#!/pinkfloydster/status/423494403911479296 http://twitter.com/#!/DCMorse/status/423496781125541888 http://twitter.com/#!/ScottVann/status/423495287487737857 *** Related: Twitchy coverage of John Boehner Read more: http://twitchy.com/2014/01/15/is-john-boehner-serious-about-using-the-constitution-to-get-things-done/

Jealous much? Reporter envious of armed felon’s easy access to president

General

http://twitter.com/#!/beardedstoner/status/517070971132715010 As Twitchy reported, the Secret Service recently allowed President Obama to ride in an elevator with an armed man with a criminal record who was exhibiting “highly irresponsible behavior.” We know Obama’s is allegedly the most transparent administration ever, but the Miami Herald’s Marc Caputo seems jealous of the armed convict’s easy access to the president. Oh, you've had felony convictions & youre armed? Ride the elevator w/Obama! Oh, youre a reporter? Stand 20 yards away behind barricades… — Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) September 30, 2014 All […]

General

http://twitter.com/#!/DywanWII/status/520639631143235584 I love it when I can preach income inequality AND squee at our President at a $32K per head fundraiser for democrats. #GwynethPaltrowQuotes — Carla Liberty (@LibertyBelleCJL) October 10, 2014 At yesterday evening’s DNC fundraiser at the home of Gwyneth Paltrow, President Obama’s awesomeness left the actress star struck and tongue tied. Paltrow declared Obama “so handsome I can’t speak,” but did manage to be able to thank the president for supporting equal pay because it’s “important to me as a working mother.” Paltrow also wished […]

You did build that? White House announces first-ever Maker Faire

General

http://twitter.com/#!/Keith_Milliron/status/430452451800403969 It turns out the president wants you to build “that” after all. Inspired by Joey Hudy’s marshmallow cannon at the 2012 White House Science Fair, the Obama administration has announced the first-ever White House Maker Faire. http://twitter.com/#!/WhiteHouse/status/430449078405955586 According to the White House, the Maker Faire will be “an opportunity to highlight both the remarkable stories of Makers like Joey and commitments by leading organizations to help more students and entrepreneurs get involved in making things.” http://twitter.com/#!/ChangeHopeless/status/430455202697998336 In a stunning reversal, President Obama actually wants students and entrepreneurs to take […]

‘Big bad mom jeans’: Obama issues stunningly pathetic warning to Ukraine

Politics & Government

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/436220214452441088 Now that he’s finished watching “The Monuments Men,” President Obama finally has time to address the situation in Ukraine. Today at a summit in Toluca, Mexico, he issued what he probably figured was a pretty stern warning to the Ukrainian government: http://twitter.com/#!/MajorCBS/status/436222526927024128 http://twitter.com/#!/NewsBreaker/status/436218398884626432 The strongest possible terms? Hardly. http://twitter.com/#!/josephkoss/status/436221157893623809 What an absolute joke. Why would any country take a clown like him seriously? http://twitter.com/#!/jonbabad/status/436221582969552896 http://twitter.com/#!/seanagnew/status/436221444092329984 We’re pretty appalled.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss blasts hostage trade with Taliban

General

http://twitter.com/#!/nanner63/status/473126752806383616 Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) isn’t the only legislator shocked and disappointed by the release of five senior Taliban leaders from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss too is concerned with idea of the administration negotiating with terrorists. Though he said he’s pleased to join the American people in welcoming home Sgt. Bergdahl, he’s concerned with the methods that made that possible. http://twitter.com/#!/SaxbyChambliss/status/473127891606470656 http://twitter.com/#!/SaxbyChambliss/status/473128061173760000   Read more: http://twitchy.com/2014/06/01/sen-saxby-chambliss-blasts-hostage-trade-with-taliban/

Allen West offers history lesson to Hank Aaron after GOP/KKK comparison

General

http://twitter.com/#!/bbergeronlaw/status/454046224337760257 On the week of the 40th anniversary of Hank Aaron’s 715th home run that broke Babe Ruth’s record, the baseball legend had some harsh words about Republican critics of President Obama: “We can talk about baseball. Talk about politics. Sure, this country has a black president, but when you look at a black president, President Obama is left with his foot stuck in the mud from all of the Republicans with the way he’s treated. “We have moved in the right direction, and there have been […]
