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.

They don’t need no WiFi- what you want them to be all actin’ white for?

[Madame Dufarge]

So she's supposed to be this smart, insightful political analyst plumbing the depths to reveal truths but can't discern the gargantuan in-your-face creepiness of her boyfriend Weiner.

Who, by the way, dumped her.

Bandwidth....is probably around issue number 300...when it comes to the schools of the nation.

You don't understand...they want the children to be able to access terabytes of data from Caliph Baraq without delays.

Why can`t states simply tell all who do business within their borders to ignore these illegal orders, if the companies try to enforce them, levy sanctions against the companies or simply shut them down.
