Consulting Congress in Jay and Barack’s minds means that they mentioned it in passing to Harry Reid.

They don’t recognize the authority of the people, as expressed through their representatives, assembled.

Carney didn’t say this, a right-wing blogger working for the Tea Party emulated his voice and said this < /Leftist media >

Uh, that statement is no longer operative.

Let’s face it; Congress is totally dysfunctional and has abdicated its responsibilities.

Granny from the Hillbillies was way better looking than Cankles.

I do love it when snake oil salesman Carney is caught in yet another lie. This whole administration is a joke.
