WaPo ^ | 5/17/13 | David Nakamura

BALTIMORE — President Obama insisted Friday that he is focused on improving the lives of middle-class Americans, despite being buffeted in Washington by a trio of controversies that have threatened to distract him from his second-term agenda. Capping one of the most difficult weeks of his tenure, Obama left the Beltway for this city 40 miles north to try to change the subject from the problems of his administration and refocus attention on his efforts to create middle-class jobs. He toured an elementary school, manufacturing plant

Well, if the only thing you have to worry about from the IRS is how fast your “earned income tax giveaway” is going to make it to your mailbox, Obama’s still your man.

New talking points are out to the liberal media:

Use the word “controversies” not “scandals”.

Deliberate instructions have been given.

He could start by adopting conservative policies.

Until then, I’m not convinced he cares a whit about the middle class.

They have already audited me. I have never been audited until now; pay my taxes on time, etc. And now they want to know why a 68 yo woman is making less. What? I did join a tea party web site. Could that be it?? And , of course freerepublic in1998. I am sure they think they are on to something.

I’m sure Hussein’s solution will be Martial Law and a real nasty dictatorship.

Good luck with that, while 100,000,000 Americans are holding an estimated 300,000,000 firearms.

Having watched this morning’s US House Ways and Means Committee Hearing on Obama’s IRS, the thought occurred to me that there can be a strong case made for Obama’s IRS rapidly becoming a Domestic Terrorist Organization. A Middle Class, SELECTIVE Domestic Terrorist Organization, of course.

Did he fly Air Force One from Andrews to BWI?
That’s about 50 miles I guess.

By the way the best thing Obama could do for the Middle Class is to resign.

I believe you’re so right but it is getting done. I think Hussein’s to busy vacationing, destroying US (his natural enemy), enriching his bosses and minions, and CYA to have any academic thoughts about inflation and it’s effects. The brain and foot work is being done by kapos and useful idiots but Hussein is still the POTUS and responsible for it; Hussein sets the tone and people that don’t serve Hussein as if he were a demigod get canned. The majority of Congressional Democrats, media, professors, etc, must be stupid but they are steam-rolling US.

Wait a sec, here. He appointed his crack VP to head the Middle Class Task Force in January 2009, so the middle class should be all fixed up and fit as a fiddle by now. Did the underling fail? Why is the boss stepping in? Is President Passerby going to do something?

Re: Hey Bender so Bendict is a Good Khan or he sucks

Cumberbatch is no Ricardo Montalbán by any stretch... but he is a pretty good bad guy and he is set up to come back down the pike.

I tell you, Seven, Bendy, Benedict just does not have the perfectly sculptured pecs... to be an effective Khan.

Now, now, Ricardo. Did those... really get you laid that much more?

Truthfully, I did expect these bad boys... to get me way more trim that they actually did--

Can Cumberbatch say “Corinthian Leather” in a suave, macho way?

Re: Can Cumberbatch say “Corinthian Leather” in a suave, macho way?

Well, let us see what... is what--

Gee Mr. Peabody, what historical era...  photo Wayback-1.gif are we going back to this time?

1978, Sherman, to see how the new Khan...  photo Wayback-15-L.gif measures up to the old Khan. Flip the switch, if you please?

 photo Wayback-Zap2.gif photo Wayback-Wam.gif photo Wayback-Bang.gif

Wow, we're here in 1978. Who...  photo Wayback-13-R.gif is that?

The new Khan... Sherman.

The 1978 Vauxhall Magnum...  photo Khan-VauxhallMagnum-Ad2-1a.gif is superb transportation--

That allows one...  photo khan-VauxhallMagnum-Ad2-2.gif to pick up the pretty birds--

And surround them with an interior of rich, unsurpassed Newcastle...  photo Khan-VauxhallMagnum-Ad2-3.gif Naugahyde!

That's pretty lame...  photo Wayback-6.gif isn't it, Mr. Peabody?

Never make a decision before seeing...  photo Wayback-20.gif the opposition and in this case, the old Khan.

The 1978 Chrysler Cordoba, a masterful...  photo Khan-Cordoba-Ad.gif design--

With an interior of rich, unsurpassed Corinthian...  photo Khan-Cordoba-Ad-1.gif Leather--

Wow! That was really, really...  photo Wayback-19.gif fantastic, wasn't it, Mr. Peabody?

AND, in the Wrath of Khan my pecs are also made of rich, unsurpassed Corinthian...  photo Khan-Cordoba-Ad-2.gif Leather!

Well, until that...  photo Wayback-22-R.gif it was--
