Reporters Laugh When Obama's Spokesman Denies Another 'End Run' Around Congress August 15, 2013 - 10:19 AM By Susan Jones

(CNSNews.com) - The White House press corps laughed when President Obama's spokesman on Wednesday said the president, in directing the Federal Communications Commission to raise cell phone taxes to pay for broadband Internet access in schools, would not be going around Congress.

"The FCC will decide whether another tax is applied? You're not making an end run around Congress in this case?" a reporter asked fill-in White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

"Well, I -- 'end-run' is not the word I would use. What I would say is that there has been -- (laughter) -- what we have seen from Congress is, we've seen a lot of stagnation and dysfunction and an inability to act on some rather obvious priorities of the American people.

If the Republicans had a complete testicle amongst the entire bunch, they would file Articles of Impeachment.

Bandwidth....is probably around issue number 300...when it comes to the schools of the nation. And to gimmick up this deal for a bunch of CISCO guys is a joke.

Nature abhors a vacuum. Where is the party that will challenge this? Where is the group that will sue to stop this?

Lawless is another word. This administration has shown that it cares nothing about the law or Constitution, enforcing where it sees fit and ignoring the laws it does not like.

“If the Republicans had a complete testicle “

But they don’t.

Why does a school need “free” broadband? Maybe so the loser “educators” can stream porn, movies or ??? Given that many schools are failing just maybe they should try teaching.

Kirsten Powers on the Fox All Star Panel found this perfectly acceptable because “other Presidents have done it” and “it’s FOR THE CHILDREN!”

Ya can’t fix stupid.

Never get in between an aspiring emperor, and his power to subjugate the serfs, or make light of his power. See the Missouri rodeo clown as an example, or the potential for a WH reporter to die in a fiery car “accident”.

She dated Anthony Weiner.

That's really all I need to know about her.

In fact, when she appears on FOX, my mind's eye paints a "Dated Anthony Weiner" tattoo on her forehead. After that, I can't hear anything she has to say.

Ha Ha, this is one big joke on the conservatives and the country so they all enjoy it. I would love for a meteor to land in the press room while they are slapping each other on the backs supporting this POS.

Yes, good choice, I prefer to reserve the word EVIL for ripping babies out of wombs and destroying marriage and things like that. Not saying taxes and fees can't be a form of theft -- which is evil -- but just doesn't ring the gong the same way.

Every comment or statement from this administration should be accompanied with a laugh track...

What they are laughing at is the weak, cowardly Republicans who don’t have the guts to do anything about it.
Pathetic.

What good will that do? Obama could be on tape eating kittens, Reid’s senate will not convict.
