He shut down the White House tours as a symbolic "go fuck yourself, citizen" during the sequester on the date we had a tour scheduled. Background checks had already been done, it was already paid for. He basically told my kid "go fuck yourself."

As for the barriers he had erected around the monuments and shit, they just went around those.

Step up pandering levels to maximum.
Obama has been trying to break out of the usual White House routine and show voters he understands their concerns. While in Minneapolis, he met with two people who wrote to him and ate a hamburger with a young woman struggling to pay her bills.

B. Rock, friend of the common man.

U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday blasted House Republicans who have threatened to sue him for issuing executive orders to implement policies that would have a hard time passing in the Republican-controlled chamber of Congress.

"They don't do anything except block me and call me names," Obama said in an economic speech that concluded a two-day visit to Minnesota.

Come down. Get off your fucking cross. We need the fucking space to nail the next fool martyr.

But you're staring at me like I need to be saved, in your Jesus Christ pose.

N. Korea makes B. Rock's admin look like the pussies they are. But just so I'm not putting the blame entirely on the gov't:
"Jeffrey loves to travel and loves the adventure of experiencing different cultures and seeing new places," said a statement from Fowle's family lawyer, released in early June.

Fucking seriously, Flanders?

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who runs the Senate's health committee, said they are working to craft a legislative response.
...
"Your health care decisions are not your boss's business – period," Murray said. "Since the Supreme Court decided it will not protect women's access to health care, I will."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Of course not. Not enough legislation is what led to today.

The old poll with "How will Obama be remembered" is now looking like a firm "Worse than Jimmy Carter."

Obama-appointed investigation panel: NSA internet surveillance under Obama is totally cool. No shit.
David Medine, a former government privacy lawyer who chairs the board, said NSA's Internet surveillance was found to have been "valuable and effective for protecting the national security and producing foreign intelligence information."

Bull fucking shit. Your intelligence has been doing wonders throughout Iraq, Ukraine, Libya, and a host of other places. Also did great work stopping that Boston Marathon bombing team. And all those school shootings.

So true.

Although, it's still pretty interesting considering how Bush was crucified in the MSM versus the treatment Obama gets.

Going for worst prez in history.
President Barack Obama on Wednesday said that “further reforms” of Wall Street are needed, arguing that there remains too much focus on making profits through big banks’ trading desks as opposed to investing in companies and the “real” economy.

Whenever I see "real" used in quotes, it reminds me of OJ's quest to find the "real" killer, i.e. bullshit.

“Right now, if you are in one of the big banks, the profit center is the trading desk, and you can generate a huge amount of bonuses by making some big bets; you will be rewarded on the upside,” he said in the interview, a transcript of which was published on the program’s website. “If you make a really bad bet, a lot of times you’ve already banked all your bonuses. You might end up leaving the shop, but in the meantime everybody else is left holding the bag.

Odd. With a few tiny grammatical adjustments, that's the same way I feel about DC, Congress, and the White House.

The idiocy is so thick, you have to scrape it off the fucking walls.
House Speaker John Boehner doesn't take "lightly" his decision to file a lawsuit against President Obama's executive actions, the Ohio Republican insisted in a Sunday editorial, offering little more rationale for his extraordinary spin on checks and balances than the president's "flippant dismissal of the Constitution we are both sworn to defend."

Yeah, only Congress can butcher the Constitution.

he president, for his part, has embraced the lawsuit as a punch line to thrill crowds at his rallies. On Tuesday at an event promoting infrastructure legislation currently stalled on Capitol Hill, Mr. Obama mocked the GOP, saying, "Middle-class families can't wait for Republicans in Congress to do stuff... so, sue me."

"As long as they're doing nothing, I'm not going to apologize for trying to do something," the president said.

Fucking a rocket engine as it ignites is doing something, too.

Columnist notorious for using the N word, writes a column calling Obama the N word in the title. The article is, of course, all about how far right folks hate Obama because he's black.

If the title was a direct quote from whomever he was interviewing, then fine. But if not then he's being an ass.

The problem is that they can't find a mainstream Tea Party member or high profile Republican to actually use the word, so this guy will just be helpful and use the word in their stead and blame them for it.

How about this one?
Young issued a statement later that day saying that he "meant no disrespect" and that he "used a term that was commonly used during my days growing up on a farm in central California". The Associated Press said that while Rep. Young explained his statement, he "did not apologize."

Young is the dean of the Alaskan congressional delegation, the fourth most senior U.S. Representative and the most senior Republican Representative.
