EXCERPT

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

Sending a message to the GOP leadership ... you’d better play ball with me or I’ll keep writing EOs until you do. He says this even though his party was crushed yesterday, primarily due to him!

Evidence of the “thrill” leaving.

“Any bill they pass will supplant executive actions.”

Congress needs to get to work Lots of executive actions needing to be superseded. :)

I did not know anyone could talk this long, and lie this much without saying anything....I hope they can shut down his funding for his executive orders....maybe impeach him on constitutional grounds.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Poor man has been beaten, spit out and standing in line to be beaten again.

Just like where the Chinese must control N. Korea, the Democrats are going to have to control obama ... in light of yesterday's results and with respect to the 2016 election they do not want obama to be a factor (ever again!)

Therefore, the GOP leadership needs to focus negotiations with the Democrat leadership ... not obama ... if the GOP is to do their job of stopping socialism in America.

Keystone - nope, not needed, energy sector is booming

immigration - pass the Senate bill now or he'll act before the end of the year

He keeps saying he looks forward to what the Republicans have to offer.

[Does that mean he is hoping they will come up with stuff to save his lagging legacy? Or will he tell them to stuff it like he has for the last 6 years?]

Keystone Pipeline meets Keystone Kops

Sign the damn bill already!

[Lucky9teen]

I’m so sick of hearing him talk about bridges, roads, infrastructure blah blah blah...

You’re party rejected you. How do you account for that? LOL

[glennaro]

It’s going to be a tough two years for obama ... if the GOP leadership stays firm. He’s either going to have to negotiate with the GOP (something he has never had to do and doesn’t want to do) or destroy the Democrat Party ... that’s why I think the Democrat Party will pull in the reins on him.

This evening I’m switching cocktail hour back to daylight savings time.

[tanknetter]

Yeah, I see that as a big eff-u for throwing Harry under the bus.

He’s a corrupt jacka**, of course, but he was definitely playing obstructionist on Obamas behalf.

[relee]

I think he said he’s not gonna read the tea leaves or something like that. Sounded like he was getting testy with Major Garrett too.

[glennaro]

Love it! Cheers!

Now, gotta get back to work!

[TomGuy]

I did not know anyone could talk this long, and lie this much without saying anything.

It is a political tactic. When you have nothing worth saying, you talk around the problem to be perceived as being knowledgeable of the problem.

Or, it is a tactic to cover the lying. Many authorities on speecifying say that someone who rambles on and on does so to cover lies and a lack of knowledge.

Improving customer service in every agency??

Whole bunch of “stuff” we can do.

[TomGuy]

Ut O!

He is going to be busy every day working for the American people. He hasn’t does that for 6 years, so why start now?

Now is when WE need him to do more golfing.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Not. Over. Yet.

[tanknetter]

If the Dems were smart they’d override a veto or three to show Obama they can.

But that would tick off the Obamaphile true believers. Rock, hard place.
