#1  This is GREAT!

#2  judges across the ideological spectrum, including the President’s appointees, have struck down 15 major regulations, with a total cost of $4.6 billion.”

That's a small start.

#3  the Imperial EPA has been kicked in teh teeth a lot lately. President Romney needs to clean house. Try fumigation

#4  I would start with a amendment that states a President can't issue an executive order that overrides congress. No more end arounds. There are checks and balances for a reason.
Posted by: DarthVader || 08/21/2012 21:36 Comments || Top||

#5  Obama will just issue an executive order overriding the court decision. Just like he issued executive orders (or had the various secretaries issue orders) that overrode the express will of Congress.

#1  After two months and much weeping and knashing of teeth by the press, he finally held a press conference yesterday. Must not have gone very well...
Posted by: Gomez Sloth9652 || 08/21/2012 13:10 Comments || Top||

#2  The reporters asked, like, questions and stuff.

#3  I heard some of those interviews on TV, one was a question about Chicago sports, where dear reader responded to the effect it had been hard to keep track since Chicago sports has been out of contention since Jalon Rose was hurt.

ChiSox are in first place, and he tried to do a funny in Boston about the Yukalis trade.

I do not have the video to confirm I heard it right, I just remember the odd wait-a-minute feeling answer.

#4  WH reporters are tired of hearing about his favorite color, whether he wears boxers or briefs, and what his favorite soul food is in Chicago or his favorite Mexican food while in the Southwest?

#5  #4 WH reporters are tired of hearing about his favorite color, whether he wears boxers or briefs,

Depends.

#7  Besoeker, that has to be the snark of the day.

State Department replacing online country profiles, highlighting Obama policies
The State Department has started to replace its just-the-facts online profiles of foreign countries with new ones that appear to largely highlight U.S. relations since President Obama took office -- a move that comes on top of efforts to update the official profiles of past presidents with Obama-themed factoids.

The agency has so far swapped just a fraction of the nearly 200 country profiles. The new versions are hardly sensational in their promotion of Obama administration policy objectives, but do appear to put more of an emphasis on them. Several now highlight Obama initiatives like pursuing "strategic" talks with China and South Africa, and ending discrimination against transgendered individuals in Brazil.

The changes were discovered by the Heritage Foundation's Jim Roberts. Roberts likened the changes to the move by the White House to tack on Obama accomplishments at the end of the online bios of past presidents, which drew ridicule earlier this year.

"We're seeing the same sort of modus operandi," said Roberts, an editor at the conservative Washington-based think tank and a former State Department employee. "It seems pretty shameless to me."
Seems more like 1984 and the complete replacing of official history with how it best fits teh 0ne. How Stalinistic of them.

#1  When I first saw this, I thought it was from the Onion.

#2  ...The origins of modern-day Austria date back to the time of the Habsburg dynasty when the vast majority of the country was a part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.

*Did you know that Austria did not have its own language until President Obama did ordane its creation?
