-Short Attention Span Theater-
Nouveau Sheesh: Obamas Preen for Hollande
[J. E. Dyer's Liberty Unyielding} Could the Obamas be any more “let ‘em eat cake”?
FLOTUS and her Mutts
What are we trying to prove here, with the transformation of the South Lawn of the White House – in February – into a Claude Monet-inspired water-lily garden for the state dinner to honor French premier Francois Hollande? Seriously, the guy’s not even bringing a Sig-O: someone to at least look glamorous in a Dior gown and some bangles or something. All we get to see is his beagle-like mug suspended over a tux. How much is this costing the American taxpayer?

Equally to the point, why is Monet being used as the inspiration for a costly, over-the-top outdoors-in-the-dead-of-winter shindig, when it would be more appropriate – and a lot cheaper – to go with an iconic image from American art?

At LU, we’ve assembled some lower-budget suggestions. Come up with your own, if you like. The possibilities are endless.
She nails it.

Obama: ‘I can do whatever I want’
..and I have no doubt that, thanks to the enablers in chief, John Boehner etal, he really believes it..

#1  Golden Rule applies. He who has prints the gold, rules.

#2  Judge Roberts nodded in the affirmative.

#3  Oh he will. Just watch him. (Nyaah)

#4  I've got a feeling that our Constitutional-Lawyer-in-Chief (sarc) will get a lot of push-back should he try end-arounds to the Constitution.

#5  L'état, c'est moi

#6  And the treasonous media will give him all the cover he needs.
Posted by: CrazyFool || 02/11/2014 8:42 Comments || Top||

#7  He's already doing end-rounds on the Constitution. What do you think all these waivers and delays to Obamacare are? Failure to faithfully execute the laws and granting titles of nobility to my mind.

#8  All true, but in this case, he used his special powers to go where tourists are not allowed at Monticello.

He also swoops in on restaurants, feeds 40-50, and forgets to pay the bill.

#9  Dems: "Obamacare can't be repealed, reduced or waived, because: It's.The.Law."

Unless Obama does what is explicitly not allowed

#10  It is my understanding that the gov't is now mandating that employee terminations be somehow legally justified, in order to prevent the dodging of Obamacare employee enrollment numerics.

As we have come to see, the inconvenient narrative must not be supported with facts.

#11  Pushback against our Community-Organizer-in-Chief is likely to come at the polls in 2014.
Posted by: JohnQC || 02/11/2014 9:36 Comments || Top||

#12  The ultimate 'victim status' and distraction would be an Obama brought to task under the high crimes and misdemeanors of Articles of Impeachment.

Perhaps this is why the pubs are reluctant to intervene.

#13  Sounds like mommy and daddy didn't whoop his ass enough.
Posted by: Omavising Ebbemp9815 || 02/11/2014 10:48 Comments || Top||

#14  Well, why not? We let him run for president without proving that he is Constitutionally eligible. Whatever you think about his birth certificate, he never had to prove anything to anybody. The only place the case was tried was in the media.

After that, the IRS scandal, Benghazi and everything else why would he suddenly start respecting us or our laws? Who is going to stop him now?

#15  Referencing #14 ... did I miss the opening of Jawn Kerry's military records? Oh! Still waiting,eh?
Posted by: jimk || 02/11/2014 11:12 Comments || Top||

#16  I suspect had this been a Pub president he would have been impeached long ago. Congress is afraid to contemplate impeaching the current President. A conviction requires a vote of two-thirds majority of the Senate members present. It would end up in the "dead letter" box of the Senate.

#17  Sounds like mommy and daddy didn't whoop his ass enough.

Daddy was in Kenya and mommy was a tramp with a thing for dark skinned foreigners. So it was up to Grandma and Grandpa and, no, they did not whip his ass enough.

#19  He already is anyway thanks to a spineless congress and a lapdog press.

Anyone see him leaving office peacefully? I am starting to have my doubts he will.
Posted by: DarthVader || 02/11/2014 13:30 Comments || Top||

#20  The whole idea here is to force Congress to Impeach him. Then he is not a 'failed President' with a failed agenda and failed party, he is a victim of racist Tea Party Conservatives! Don't fall for this, it is a typical Chicago/Illinois/Madiganistan move.

#21  Ceausescu said the same thing. Just saying.

#22  We had a college coach at one time who's record was great--just not as good as the fans thought it ought to be. One day he came home to find a moving van parked in front of his house. At other times he would find a "For Sale" signs in his front yard. He eventually took the hint.

There's got to be a banana republic somewhere where Champ can carry on.

#24  This guy is dictating to businesses that will fail if they do not release staff due to Obamacare costs that they cannot save their businesses? In other words his crap is destructive to free enterprise?

This cockroach needs to go.

#25  Oui. And tell us again about your flight home from South Africa?
