Left-Wing New Republic Hails Kamala Harris as ‘Historic’ Figure Surpassing Kennedy, Obama
|

Breitbart ^
Vice President Kamala Harris is “a completely different person than the one most of us had fixed in our mind” and is more than a “female Obama,” according to a glowing portrayal in the New Republic that suggests Harris even surpasses historical Democrat icon former President John F. Kennedy in significance.In a
Friday essay, the far-left magazine heaped praise upon presidential hopeful Kamala Harris, positioning her as a transformative figure who unexpectedly unified the Democratic Party following her DNC speech accepting the party’s nomination without having received a single vote.

Orwellian/Racialist Obama and Ethnic Kennedy Admins Not Measured by the Same Standard

Rosen suffered much more grievous mistreatment than the usual compulsion to reveal sources, from the Holder DOJ about a State Dept story, labelled a criminal co-conspirator and flight risk to justify govt surveillance of his journalistic activities. As an approved, formerly mistreated minority, an African-American Admin can get away with progressive-antidemocratic repression of the right to monitor govt that a GOP admin couldn't even dream of.

Supreme Court split on Obama amnesty; Kennedy: Policy ‘just upside-down’
|

The Washington Times ^
| April 18, 2016 | Stephen Dinan
The Supreme Court divided deeply Monday over President Obama’s deportation amnesty, with conservative justices saying the White House was trying to steal Congress’s law-making powers, and liberal justices suggesting the court should stay out of the fight altogether, leaving the president with a free hand. Outside
the court, thousands of Hispanic-rights protesters rallied, demanding legal status from the courts and vowing political retribution on Congress — and Republicans in particular — if Mr. Obama loses his case. Inside the courtroom, however, the argument was lower-key, with the justices sparring with lawyers over the tricky interplay between the law, federal regulations...

No, Presidents Obama and Kennedy, “Greedy” Americans Did Not “Exploit” Pre-Castro Cubans

“I know these issues are sensitive, especially coming from an American President. Before 1959, some Americans saw Cuba as something to exploit, ignored poverty, enabled corruption. (U.S.
President Barack Obama, March 22, Havana Cuba.) “I believe that there is no country in the world including any and all the countries under colonial domination, where economic colonization, humiliation and exploitation were worse than in Cuba, in part owing to my country’s policies during the Batista regime. (U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Oct 24, 1963.) Presidents Obama and Kennedy should not give their countrymen so much backhanded praise—and Cubans such condescension. To...

<p>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Justice Anthony Kennedy was furious when a majority on the U.S. Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama’s healthcare law. As
he read the dissenting opinion from the bench three years ago, his anger was palpable. The majority regards its opinion “as judicial modesty," he declared. "It is not. It amounts instead to a vast judicial over-reaching.”</p>

Obama Praises Ted Kennedy For 'Bridging' Partisan Divide

Truth Revolt ^
| 3/30/15 | Caleb Howe
In a speech this morning at the dedication of the new Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate, President Obama praised the late Senator effusively, citing his bipartisan creds and pondering what the world would be like if we all "carried ourselves more like Kennedy. (Oops, did we say "pond"?)
The folks at Digitas Daily think Obama might have been well-advised to choose different words, though, when talking up Kennedy's reach across party lines. "[Republicans] know who Ted Kennedy was. It's not because they shared Ted's ideology or his positions, but because they knew Ted as somebody who...

BOSTON — President Barack Obama summoned today's quarrelsome political leaders to emulate the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in the pursuit of compromise on Monday, and said a new institute that bears the longtime Massachusetts senator's name can be as much an antidote to political cynicism as the man once was. "What
if we carried ourselves more like Ted Kennedy? What if we were to follow his example a little bit harder?" the president asked a crowd of family, former aides and political dignitaries of both parties under a tent in raw weather just outside the doors of the Edward...

Elizabeth Warren, in Edward Kennedy’s seat, displaces Obama as liberals’ champion
|

The Washington Times ^
| March 29, 2015 | By Ben Wolfgang
In early 2008 liberal icon Edward M. Kennedy blessed Barack Obama’s long shot presidential campaign, declaring the freshman Illinois senator the next great progressive leader in a symbolic passing of the torch. On
Monday, Mr. Obama heads to Massachusetts to honor Kennedy, who died in 2009 — but liberals’ enthusiasm for the president has waned from those days, and the left has moved on to other champions, most notably Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who now sits in the seat Kennedy used to hold.

Kennedy Won’t Save Obamacare’s Bacon

American Spectator ^
| 3/6/2015 | David Catron
Supporters of the “Affordable Care Act” have been rather glum of late. Since
the Supreme Court agreed to hear King v. Burwell, a lawsuit that challenges the Obama administration’s decision to funnel insurance subsidies through federal exchanges established in the 36 states that refused to create PPACA “marketplaces,” they have rather ironically bemoaned the possibility that five unelected justices could do irreparable damage to the law with one “wrong ruling.” Consequently, they have desperately grasped at a thin straw tossed their way by Justice Anthony Kennedy during Wednesday’s oral arguments about the case. In an exchange with Michael Carvin, who...

2012, and Kennedy, the perennial swing vote on the Supreme Court. Story Continued Below The court is likely to split largely along ideological lines with Kennedy or Roberts casting crucial votes. Some Obamacare backers are even making a pitch to Justice Antonin Scalia to look at a broad...

Kennedy sent men to the moon in less time than Obama's spent dithering on Keystone XL

Investor's Business Daily ^
| 1/7/2015 | John Merline
President Obama said Tuesday he would veto any bill that tries to start construction on the Keystone XL pipeline before a federal review is finished — a process in its seventh year. You
can argue whether Obama is being sincere in his desire to follow procedure, or just trying to run out the clock so he doesn't have to make a decision, but by any measure, six-plus years is a long time. Jason Russell tries to put this in perspective at the Washington Examiner by calculating what other things someone could do while Obama's reviews held up the pipeline. Among...
