"Shaddup, you white cracker. I nevah said dat."

Despite audio evidence of prohibited political activity by Obama Administration officials, White House Counsel Neil Eggleston rejected House Oversight and Government Reform Committee requests for testimony from David Simas, director of the White House Office of Political Strategy and Outreach.
“Mr Simas and, in fact, everyone working for the President is absolutely immune from any demands Congress or the Judicial branch might seek to impose,” Eggleston contended. “To hold otherwise would undermine the President’s authority to rule this country.”
“It would also be unfair to those attempting to carry out the President’s wishes if they were to be held answerable to any other center of power within the government,” Eggleston added. “Their work is difficult enough without adding the complication of worry over whether what the President has ordered them to do may be illegal or not. Obedience should be their only concern and must grant them immunity from oversight.”
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif) characterized Eggleston’s argument as “disturbing. In effect he’s saying that none of the President’s henchmen need answer to anyone other than the President. This is not the action of a limited government as conceived by the Founding Fathers.”
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md) denounced Issa’s “persecution of the servants of the President” and maintained that “only after proof of wrongdoing should we even consider asking for testimony. The only evidence that Mr. Issa has is against former Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis. Since she is no longer with the government the whole issue is, in my opinion, moot.”

Caught myself going back to the source to see if Mr. Semmons was involved.
Man...art imitates politics.
> “To hold otherwise would undermine the President’s authority to rule this country.”
“RULE”? That’s King talk, not President talk. A President governs.
Haven't you heard??
Excuse me???
Seriously, the president himself is subject to such review. Why would his staff be above that? Talk about lawless.
Good one. If it were not for your name, I would have missed the satire. “Rule this country” indeed.
Lewis “Scooter” Libby was not available for comment...news at 11.
Does Obama pay these scum out of his own pocket ?
Once again I did not look first to see who was posting this.
I got to this part: "undermine the President’s authority to rule this country."
That caused a double take. Good one!
"Shaddup, you white cracker. I nevah said dat."
Therein lies the problem- that muslim brohood mofo thinks he is our ruler, not our employee.
I hate you....
I almost posted....
Dirty rat....
Go have a dip of ice cream. You’ll get better.
After a Presser, Obama usually tries to get as far away from his family as possible by playing Golf, shooting Pool, drinking beer with “the folks,” or spending more time at his REAL day job: bilking money from Democrat Oligarchs, with all expenses paid for with US Taxpayer Dollars, of course.
“undermine the President’s authority to rule this country.”
And there, right there, is the problem......one word RULE.
Same argument given at Nuremberg.
I think it was Valerie Jarrett herself that stated back in 2008 that Barack would be ready to RULE on day 1 of his term.
You disgust me!!!
Actually, doing some business in LA and maybe a sorbet or Gelato would be good tomorrow.
Satire, yeah, but closer to truth than fiction.
Especially the “To hold otherwise would undermine the President’s authority to rule this country” part. The pResident has no authority to “rule”, but try to tell HIM that!
