| President Barack Obama’s Jan. 14 press conference included many attacks and much self-praise and numerous contradictory charges — few of which were recognized or highlighted by the reporters that presented the event in terms vary favorable to the president. Republicans “demonize” him, Obama complained, shortly after he declared that Republicans were putting an economic “gun at the head of the American people … [and] threaten to wreck the entire economy.” “I’m a pretty friendly guy,” he said, not long after suggesting that he would stop checks for veterans and retirees if the GOP didn’t raise the White House’s $16.4 trillion credit limit.

The national center of missing and exploited children should be notified today that Obama is going to exploit children to enhance yet another presidential power grab. He can´t win on the proposal alone so he has to exploit innocent faces to get his way. Sickening.
there´s gazillions of gun laws already on the books in this country,yet criminals are having a field day under Obama and Holder.

The msm would have us believe them rather than our own eyes and ears.
Clearly from the polls no one is buying their dog poop.
We do want our school children protected by armed police officers.
We do want the government to stop spending spending spending.
We don´t want any more borrowing.
We don´t want anymore people on food stamps, getting free phones, or free anything else.
The black population has nearly been destroyed by this man. They know it too.

At one point in time the press was actually responsible. They certainly can´t call themselves reporters anymore. If they were honest, they could have so much to write about - the list is too long but we all know the topics. What a pouty little wannabe dictator.

Obama threatens to cut the most important, desirable, constitutional parts of government while leaving the wasteful bloated corrupt over regulation untouched. He is no better than any municipal politician who cuts fire and police protection first so as to prevent any cuts to bloated government. What is needed is a GOP with the guts to confront him on this and point out what he does not cut every time he doesn´t pay the military or the SS cheques. This debate can be won but not if you don´t have the debate and leave this demagoguery unchallenged.

This article is more proof that journalism has devolved into the dumbest profession on this planet.
To work for ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN, a person must be in touch with their feelings and cannot possess any logic, analytical abilities, or any knowledge on how to use "google".

If there is a first principle of conduct, it is this: Consequences Affect Future Behavior.
When journalists sit silently and "do nothing" in the face of repeated incidents of distortion/blatant propaganda, they are actually doing something--not challenging absurdities tends to encourage them over time. Even worse, when influential journalists turn a blind eye to obvious distortion, they enable invalid thoughts to spread far and wide.
History is likely to be very hard on those who have abandoned their journalistic responsibilities.

“Distort the news! Omit the news! Invent the news! Just don’t report the news!”
Above are the shameless marching orders of second-term-emboldened, “flexible” President Barack Hussein Potemkin Obama to his slavishly obedient messengers bearing his lies.
When one fraud, fake, pretender, imposter, hypocrite and phony has his words and deeds reported to his constituency by frauds, fakes, pretenders, imposters, hypocrites and phonies, we’re left with American Journalism circa 2013.
Integrity… nothing but a hazy memory.

Back in the day schools didn´t have cafeterias to serve food. Kids that had to eat at school brought their own lunch. When the government got involved with feeding kids, it was the road to what we have now, a socialist country where the government has now become the Nanny state. Parents have abdicated their responsibility and authority to the government. They started in the schools and thanks to Lyndon Johnson´s Great Society we have the mess we have today. Too bad we have so many citizens demanding these services because they are too comfortable being poor. Trillions spent and all we have for it is a bunch of folks who refuse to work and have no reason to want anything better for themselves. We can´t afford them anymore.

Unfortunately, the Republicans think they can win the game by just putting their defense on the field. They just don´t realize it is the 4th Quarter and the Two Minute Warning just sounded.
They have to start defunding Obama´s machines of tyranny: Sebelius, EPA, Justice, etc.. They are so concerned with being blamed for ...actually, I´m not sure...they don´t seem to be concerned they WILL be blamed for losing our country.
I´m a physician. Today I was "impressed", not deputized, to be one of Obama´s instruments of dictatorial persecution. It has to stop, or we will lose our freedom and liberty because we no longer deserve them.

The points being made here are all thoughtful and very clear. But, look...we passed on the opportunity last November to start fixing the problem. While I never viewed Romney as the grand savior, I did view him as a person who could have started laying the groundwork for the re-birth of America as the constitutional republic it once was. The real leg work was to come from his successors among the republican ranks who would have the where with all to re-engineer the party - people who possess the real messaging skill.
This third-party talk is well and good and I see many points. But, if there are say 20 million of us TP´ers of voting age who would form a third political party, this will not win presidential elections where we are up against 70 million well-programmed sheep. I gaurantee none of the sheep would ever bolt from the dims for a new conservative party.

The Democratic candidates for mayor in New York are campaigning to win the support of the teachers union. They threaten to return the city to the horrors of the David Dinkins era. Back at the turn of the 1990s, New York City was a mess. Crime was rampant. The schools were dreadful. Children in foster care were brutalized because–as the head of the Child Welfare Agency said–”oversight is racist.” The mayor was an incompetent. And, above all, the city was run for the benefit of its employees rather than its citizens. What followed was 20 years of governance

After years of false starts, Washington finally appears to be on the path to rewriting the nation’s immigration laws. The Senate Gang of Eight bill is holding its own in committee and is expected to hit the Senate floor in June. And in the House this week, members of a bipartisan group agreed “in principle” on a big bill to be revealed in June. But in this case, looks are deceiving. There are still major hurdles before immigration reform can reach President Barack Obama’s desk. The biggest one is the GOP-controlled House. Right now, the Senate bill has no chance

CINCINNATI — The fog of scandal hangs over a boxy, modernist, 10-story building that looks like a monument to paperwork. Shrubs and chain smokers flank its front entrance here on Main Street, in the heart of downtown. Every day, 2,000 employees go to work at various federal agencies in this John F. Kennedy-era structure, whose chief tenant is the Internal Revenue Service — which is having just about the worst week an agency can have. Up on the fourth floor — with its gray linoleum, low ceilings and fluorescent lights, file carts heaped with manila envelopes, its keypad-coded doors labeled 4-022

When, in 2006, the website The Smoking Gun released a secret CIA memo documenting prisoner organizing strategies at Guantanamo Bay, the FBI took notice. Now the site has posted details of the ensuing 44-month-long investigation, offering a timely glimpse into the black box of a Department of Justice leak prosecution. And The Smoking Gun got lucky. Over the course of the FBI´s hunt, code-named "Stubborn Ways," 43 different people were interviewed, in locations stretching from New Mexico to Boston to Saudi Arabia. After the investigation narrowed to one person who was then exonerated — a woman from Virginia

A number of people have sought to explain the IRS targeting of Tea Party, patriot, and 9/12 group applications -- as well as those from other conservative groups -- for "specialist team" treatment (mainly delays and excessive and inappropriate questions) in 2010 by pointing to the Citizens United decision that year allowing for unlimited, undisclosed fundraising by such groups. That´s the explanation IRS official Lois Lerner gave a week ago when she first revealed that the agency had improperly handled a slew of applications -- the political shorthand was a mistaken attempt to deal with a surge in applications.

Much has been said about the trouble with public-sector pensions. Many state and local plans are underfunded and, unless policy and accounting changes are undertaken, some major plans will run out of assets to pay benefits over the coming years. That means these plans will have to operate on a pay-as-you-go-basis, forcing budgetary tradeoffs and tax hikes. Public-sector pensions often come with legal guarantees. For instance, Illinois and New York offer a constitutional guarantee of promised benefits. Many other states offer statutory protections. That’s why economists make the case that pension benefits

Rarely has the White House briefing room so resembled the main ballroom at a meeting of Conservative Political Action Conference. When he woke up on Tuesday morning, White House press secretary Jay Carney probably thought that he would have to deal with querulous reporters pressing him on all fronts. Little did he know he’d really have to confront citizens bristling with anger over perceived encroachments on their rights by an overweening government. At times, Carney must have wondered whether he had wandered into a congressional town hall circa 2009 with himself in the role

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
