| So the secondhand tale of House Speaker John Boehner’s assessment that President Obama “can’t make a decision. He’s got balls made out of marshmallows” … has a certain precedent, as Exurban Jon reminds me: “If Hillary gave him [Obama] one of her balls, they’d both have two,” Democratic strategist James Carville told the Christian Science Monitor at a breakfast on Thursday morning. The editorial board of the Washington Post uses nicer language, but reaches the same conclusion: … why is Mr. Obama not leading the way to a solution? From the start, and increasingly in his second term,

You spend 4 years making the problem worse, purposefully and unwaveringly making the problem worse - and yet, there still are so very many Republicans who believe you just lack "guts" or competence or whatever to find a solution....?!Obama must be laughing himself silly that so many supposedly smart people refuse to understand - in the face of 4 years of irrefutable evidence - that his intentions for the nation are, indeed, bad.

For those of you who grew up in the ´50´s, you know that the best term to describe Obama is "punk." He is just a punk. And if he and I were in the schoolyard then or now, I´d wipe that arrogant punk smirk off his face.

I believe Obama has the guts to do what is necessary to bring this country to its knees. Men of his mindset always do and history always asks, why didn´t the people stop him. I pray to God that question will not be asked of us.

Obama is not qualified to be POTUS and never was. He got elected because he is black. That´s it. He brought no experience to the job and his ideology is very liberal and very anti-American. He doesn´t negotiate with Congress because he doesn´t know how. He thinks he is entitled to the perks of the job but has never taken the responsibility so he campaigns and gives speeches. It really isn´t that complicated.

Republican have been deferential to Obama since Day 1. They are afraid of media backlash. They need to heap scorn, ridicule and cutting remarks a la British Parliment on his agendas and his unwillingness to govern. For example, the marshmallow comment needed to be public.

The pipsqueak is devoid of leadership experience. Presidents normally have done something in life other than just talk. He presumably is lost emotionally and intellectually when confronted with a situation requiring a decision. So he delegates. Furthermore, all he knows are inane socialist soundbites to help him get through the day. Consequently he rarely is in work mode while his handlers run the White House. Clinton was pretty useless too, but he put on a better show of hiding his incompetence to a gullible public.
Can you imagine the situation where a company put a neophyte in charge of the business? It makes one laugh. Well, start laughing at the White House calamity. After that you can cry.

For me it´s not a question of testicular fortitude. It´s a question of meanness of spirit. Fauxbama seems to want to win, to humiliate, to score brownie points with the loons. He doesn´t seem to want to heal the country. He cares nothing for the unemployed. Instead, he is fixated on class warfare and raising taxes. He is always willing to put the country through trauma, so long as he can blame it on someone else. It´s as if he´s carrying some terrible grudge. Why? Society has given him more than he´s ever earned. Maybe his dependency has embittered him and he wants everyone to share it.

It’s no wonder that when Soros, Ayres and Co. decided to destroy America with their evil magnum opus, Obama, they appealed to the segments of society that produced and fell for the likes of FDR, Kennedy and the Clintons (among many others).
As for wanting to slap that smirk off Obama´s mug (or worse), the line forms to the right.

This was all poo poohed by the MSM, they veiled him from view and invented a different man. Enough of us fell for it to put him where he is today, Occuping the Oval Office!

Why do so many Republican talking heads continue to presume that Obama is lacking in guts when in reality he ran for the Presidency NOT to solve any of our problems but to destroy the very foundation of this country. They keeping giving him a pass. What don´t they understand about "fundamentally transforming" this country? You´re either a blind, idiotic supporter of Obama or an enemy of the state and the state is Obama.

Aside from the harm he is doing our country, perhaps the most striking thing about Barack Obama is how consistently we underestimate him. I´m old enough to remember when it was the height of liberal wit to dismiss Ronald Reagan as "an amiable dunce." While these so-called smart guys were busy insulting him, President Reagan transformed American politics and changed the world. Reagan didn´t just say and do conservative things. He was conservative things: Small town boy, self-made man, cowboy, courageous, heroic, a Horatio Alger rise to fame and fortune through individual virtue and hard work. Reagan´s life confirmed the conservative vision of an America he loved.
Barack Obama is liberalism´s Ronald Reagan. Obama doesn´t just believe and advance a radical liberal vision of America. He embodies it: Mixed-nationality, international upbringing, single mother, welfare, affirmative action, Ivy League lawyer, social worker. Obama´s whole life confirms the false liberal premise that, with enough government, anything is possible. He is the anti-Reagan building liberalism´s anti-America. Barack Obama is destroying this country and threatening our world.
It is a serious mistake to underestimate him.

Jim DeMint was interviewed about this on Fox News last night. He made an interesting comment about why Obama is doing all this "sky is falling" nonsense over a reduced increase in spending. He said the 600 billion tax increase voted into law earlier this year will cause much more pain in the economy that this sequester. He wants the GOP blamed when the pain from the tax increases kicks in.

When, if ever, will Democrat Senators take counsel with each other and go to Obama and tell him they will no longer stand behind him because he has gone much too far? When will the Supreme Court rein him in? It must be soon, if ever. These two places are where the responsibility lies and where the power is.

I had a Speed(movie)-related dream late one morning, where I was at the wheel and someone forgot to check both directions before crossing. The only disappointment was waking up! drats! ha ha.
Affirmative action is not like an endless roll of toilet paper but Obama thinks it is. At some point in time the rubber is going to meet the road. Name one debacle under Obama´s watch he has taken responsibility for: Fast and Furious? No; Benghazi? No way; The downgrade in US credit rating, first ever under a sitting president? Huh-uh; The huge US debt 6 trillion increase on his watch? Ain´t happenin´; 2013 Federal income tax increases?; Not no way not no how; Inflation from him printing money at will? nyet; Middle East, broken, in flames? anh anh; etc etc.

I agree with #22. There is a lot more going on here, too much to be driven by stupidity. There is a plan, I havn´e got it figured yet but I think a lot of people in this government hope to get enough chaos and disinfromnation going from both sides that people begin to take things into their own hands and justify even bigger government control. I´m not sure yet but I smell something that isn´t real obvious yet. Now with the Senate Republicans thinking about giving Obama the choices, they think that this might work especially with someone who doesn´t play by the rules? Something stinks.

We still have conservatives with money in this country (or we don´t?), let´s ask them for help in acquiring the main stream media.

The solutions to America´s Obama/Soros/Jarrett/Dem/Liberal/heathin-inflicted problems begin by permanently dispensing with PC and shouting the truth so loudly and bravely that We the People will hear it and act on it.
Who owns the leftist heathen media? Who controls Hollywood and the filth that is spewed there? Demonize them, for that is what they are.
Who is BHO/BS? Shout the truth in the halls of Congress and in our churches.

I divorced a malignant narcissist. I know exactly what Obama is capable of having lived with one for so long. They will never, ever, ever, ever give up their need to control you. By whatever means necessary, they will continue to manipulate and control. They get a rush of pleasure when you are afraid. They feel like gods when you are helpless. And if you stand up to them, they will punish you.
They have no statute of limitations on their vindictiveness. If once you criticize them for anything, they will never let you forget. They will blame you for everything that ever goes wrong and will take their revenge in all sorts of creative ways on any perceived slight. The highlight of their life is to think up ways to hurt and humiliate you. Your humiliation is what they live and breathe for. (That´s what the billion-dollar India trip and TSA was for after the 2010 elections...revenge. And that goes for this prisoner release now: punishment for the gop holding him accountable for the sequestration)
#22 said it best. Do no underestimate what a pathological narcissist will do. This isn´t even about ideology...narcissists only ideology is themselves.
This is about power in its purist form. This isn´t about guts at all. It isn´t about balls or spine or strength...it comes from a twisted soul.
What can be done? Nothing. Live your lives with faith in God and get on doing what you believe is right. One day he´ll be alone and without power. Then...God help him.

He is not a typical politician, like LBJ or FDR (though they did some awful things that we still must live with), he is something far worse. Everything about this man screams dictator.

I concur with those thinking along the likes of #s 14, 22, & 36. My only quibble with 22´s closing statement - It is a serious mistake to underestimate him. - is that it is a serious mistake to underestimate his handlers. Barry the Fraud is just the frontman, a shiny hood ornament for a group of domestic communists funded from all over. Can´t put Barry and decision nor accomplishment in the same sentence.

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a newly elected Republican with a penchant for making headlines, filed an amendment that would bar undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States from ever earning citizenship. There are an estimated 11 million people living in the country illegally, and a bipartisan immigration reform measure would create a pathway to citizenship over the course of 13 years by requiring those people to pay penalties and back taxes, as well as learn English.

According to two officials at the Graham Putnam Mahoney Funeral Parlors with knowledge of the plan, the plan was hatched on Monday, and police from the city where the prison is located met with funeral home officials Tuesday. The plan, which called for moving the body to the prison during the early morning hours, fell apart sometime Tuesday, the officials said.

As the hearing began, one whistle-blower questioned Wednesday why more military assets were not deployed sooner during the Benghazi terror attack. Mark Thompson, a former Marine and official with the State Department´s Counterterrorism Bureau, said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for a specialized team -- known as a FEST team --

Former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney got under the craw of the liberal intelligentsia concerning his remarks about marriage during his commencement address to graduates at Southern Virginia University last month: This is a promise: “Launch out into the deep, and your nets will be filled.” How do you do that? Well, getting married is one way to launch into the deep. I’m so glad I found Ann when I was still so young. Combining your life with another person, particularly someone—men and women as different as we are, this combination is tremendously challenging and enormously rewarding.

Last month, the American media had a brief moment of accountability when many in the press and broadcast networks acknowledged that they had largely ignored the case of Kermit Gosnell. The trial of the murderous Philadelphia abortionist flew below the radar for weeks. But some journalists were willing to fess up to the fact that their lack of interest in a sensational crime had something to do with their lack of comfort in discussing a case that might throw a shadow on an issue most in the media see as pitting an enlightened advocacy of “choice”

It started with reports that former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra O´Connor had second thoughts on the court´s decision to rule on the issue of George W. Bush v. Albert G. Gore, followed by dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Texas. Together, those events brought on a flutter of Gore nostalgia, a longing of sorts for his alternative presidency; the dream one that never took place. Since 2001 it had been the destination of choice in liberal fantasies, wherein Saddam Hussein was contained without bluster or bloodshed, terrorist attacks were derailed

Dan Foster, a young staffer at National Review, published a 2010 story about a class-action lawsuit against the federal government that resulted in "the waste of billions of dollars" and "systemic fraud implicating top federal officials." He wrote that the scandal touched President Obama himself, that countless payouts were made to people falsely claiming racial discrimination, and that more fraud was likely in successor lawsuits filed on behalf of women and Hispanics. Two days after the National Review story appeared online, Nancy Scola, a progressive journalist, commented on the same suit at The American Prospect. "This is one of those times

WASHINGTON — As the administration struggles to put in place the final, complex piece of President Obama’s signature health care law, an endeavor on a scale not seen since Medicare’s creation nearly a half-century ago, Democrats are worried that major snags will be exploited by Republicans in next year’s midterm elections. Many Democrats also want to see a more aggressive and visible president to push the law across the country. This week Mr. Obama is returning to the fray to an extent unseen since he signed the law in 2010, including a White House event

Three kidnapped young women were starved, repeatedly raped — and then beaten when they got pregnant — in a basement Cleveland dungeon run by three twisted brothers, law-enforcement sources said yesterday. The tortured victims were imprisoned in a dilapidated, white-clapboard home with chains mounted to the ceiling for about 10 years before finally escaping Monday evening. Michelle Knight, 32, Amanda Berry, 26, and Gina DeJesus, 23, were treated as sex slaves — kept chained and taped in separate rooms, sources told the local ABC affiliate. They were also seen naked and on dog leashes in the back yard, according to USA Today.

When it first became clear that the CIA’s Benghazi talking points had been altered, many of us viewed the White House as the prime suspect. After all, it served President Obama’s political purposes to claim, at the height of a political campaign in which he was taking credit for the fall of al Qaeda, that the death of a U.S. ambassador was down to spontaneous outrage over a video, rather than pre-planned terrorism. It turns out, however, that the State Department was the prime culprit. It was State that pushed back hard against the original talking points.

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

If ponies rode men and grass ate cows, And cats were chased into holes by the mouse … If summer were spring and the other way round, Then all the world would be upside down. Once in a long while, an event evokes one of my favorite historical images: the British Army band, at Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown which sealed the Americans’ revolutionary victory, playing “The World Turned Upside Down.” In this case, the event is the dramatic change over the past two weeks

The Seattle Police Department collected more than 700 guns during a buyback in January, and now city officials have a plan for what to do with them. Mayor Mike McGinn is expected to announce Tuesday that they´ll be melted into bricks carrying messages of peace, and the bricks will be placed around the city. The buyback program was announced a month after last December´s elementary school massacre in Newtown, Conn., by city leaders sick of hearing about gun violence.

Former Gov. Mark Sanford completed the trail to political redemption Tuesday with a win over Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch to reclaim his old seat in Congress. Sanford defeated Colbert Busch 54 percent to 45 percent, according to full unofficial results. Turnout was heavier than expected, with about 32 percent of the district’s 455,702 registered voters casting ballots. Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001. It’s a remarkable comeback for a man many pundits had written off after his highly publicized affair with an Argentine

Top ABC News editor Don Ennis walked into his Manhattan office on Friday in a “little black dress” and a brunette bobbed wig and announced to colleagues that from now on, he would like to be known as Dawn. The 49-year-old father of three said he’s splitting from his wife of 17 years to become a woman, or Dawn Stacey Ennis, as she is now known on her governmental records. “Today I begin anew,” she wrote on her Facebook timeline, where she debuted a flirty new profile picture. “Please understand: This is not a game of

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, tells Benghazi witnesses that "death is a part of life." CUMMINGS: And, as I listen to your testimony I could not help but think of something that I said very recently -- two years ago now -- in a eulogy for a relative. I said that death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death. And, I guess the reason why I´m saying that, going back to something Mr. Nordstrom said, he wanted,

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W. Bush years -- led by that least-credible of champions, the almost-always-wrong Darrell Issa --

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee took to the House floor Monday night and implied that the right to health care and education exists in the Constitution. Ms. Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, also made the case that the moral authority for such services is also derived from the Declaration of Independence. “One might argue that education and health care fall into those provisions of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” she said. Ms. Jackson Lee added, “I think that what should be continuously emphasized is the president’s leadership on one single point: that although health care was not

Mark Sanford has won the South Carolina special election in a competitive race for what in normal circumstances is a safe Republican seat. The former governor beat Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert Busch, for the state’s 1st congressional district. The AP called the race for Sanford early in the evening, with the Republican leading Colbert Busch 54 percent 46 percent.
