EXCERPT

"This afternoon, POTUS will convene a White House news conference. Details later this morning," Earnest said in a post on Twitter.

[TomGuy]

Now, he is rambling. He thinks he is making grand statements. But he is rambling.

A. Babbling about the people don't trust Washington

After six years of being the ultimate Washington insider, he's still trying to play the "I'm not part of it" game?

[maggief]

Q. re. Shellacking ... what do you call this?

O. Republicans had a good night.

[Jane Long]

Wants to improve jobs....so, raise wages. WTF?

0bola....your socialist policies are what’s taken away our jobs!

[nascarnation]

The Baraqqi to-do list:

golf
5 star vacations
plan the Baraq Hussein Obama Presidential Library and Choom Gang Museum
solicit record amounts of POTUS pardon bribes for Jan 2017

[relee]

The message from last night is to get stuff done, don’t work about politics or the next election - get stuff done.

[maggief]

Re. Immigration.

Preference for Congress to act ... blah, blah, blah ... Boehner had difficultly getting it done ... Executive action with go away if Congress sends a bill he can sign.

By the end of the year.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

I predict immigration will be the first Congressional Olive Branch to Obama.

[relee]

Obama likes the Senate passed immigration bill, it’s a good bill, bipartisan, the House needs to pass it. He will use his executive authority until congress sends him an immigration bill he can sign (before the end of the year).

[Hoodat]

Somebody please please please shut him up.

[glennaro]

He's essentially saying he will take executive action on immigration before the end of the year that can be replaced later by a bill he can sign. "I'm not going to just wait"

The fight's on ... let's see if the GOP leadership is up for it.

[maggief]

Hope not. Hope they test the veto pen by shoving some other “stuff” through.

[maggief]

“I’m the President of the United States.”

[Deo volente]

Meanwhile, Medved is on another network saying most Republicans support a rise in the minimum wage. Then he went on to trash the Tea Party.

With “conservatives” like this, who needs enemies?

[relee]

q. Why did the people punish the democrats more than the republicans?

a. Um, uh, ... we've made real progress ...

[Constitution Day]

Reporter saying the electorate was unhappy with both sides, so why did they punish the Democrats?

AHAHAHAHA!! How does that Kool-Aid taste, you dolt?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

He's essentially saying he will take executive action on immigration before the end of the year that can be replaced later by a bill he can sign. "I'm not going to just wait" The fight's on ... let's see if the GOP leadership is up for it.

I can cut the suspense.

No.

Prove me wrong, Mitch.

[glennaro]

The equivalent of “I’m still relevant” ... hoping the GOP leadership will help him and his socialist ideology remain relevant.

[Jane Long]

There better NOT be an amnesty bill, that he likes, presented by Pubbies.

[Hoodat]

I . . . I . . . I . . . me . . . me . . . me . . .

Make him stop already
