During an interview on CNN, Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer listed the three branches of government as "House, Senate, and President" instead of legislative, executive, and judicial. Well, it could've been worse. At least he didn't say they were "Larry, Curly, and Moe".
President Obama attended a farewell party for David Axelrod on Saturday, where guests included members of the press. That might explain why Obama keeps getting those tough interview questions like "who's your caterer?"
It is difficult to imagine that a nation which began, at least in part, as the result of opposition to a British mandate giving the East India Company a monopoly and imposing a nominal tax on all tea sold in America would have set out to create a government with the power to force people to buy tea in the first place.
During a recent speech, President Obama complained that Republicans were portraying his health care law as a "job-crushing, granny-threatening, budget-busting monstrosity. I guess he's upset because they forgot "unconstitutional".
New York's Mayor Bloomberg says undercover investigators working for New York City were illegally allowed to buy semi-automatic pistols at an Arizona gun show. I don't get it. If Bloomberg wanted an illegal gun, why didn't he just go to any bar in Brooklyn?
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said it was "inaccurate" to say that the border is "out of control". She's right, you know. The border with Canada is doing just fine.
Poking fun at Obamacare, legislators in South Dakota introduced a bill mandating that all state residents over the age of 21 must buy a gun. These guys obviously weren't using their heads. What good is this law if you don't mandate buying some ammo, too?
A top White House adviser called the court decision striking down Obamacare a case of "judicial activism". I guess that's the left's new term for fixing legislative unconstitutionalism.
On the Ellen DeGeneres show back in 2008, then-candidate Obama mocked the individual insurance mandate, saying it would be like curing homelessness by requiring people to buy houses. He used to joke about the Bush tax cuts, too. Does this guy pass EVERYTHING he makes fun of?
Republican Senators introduced a bill that would allow states to opt out of any part or all of Obamacare. Ya know, between this and those 700 waivers, pretty soon the only people covered by Obamacare will be Harry Reid & Nancy Pelosi.
While talking to reporters complaining about lack of access to the President, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that some things "have to be done away from TV cameras". Yeah. And usually those same things end up getting struck down in federal court.
The full Obamacare repeal bill got voted down in the Senate, right along party lines. That's ok. Our lines have got a lot more party coming in 2012.
During his speech on Egypt, President Obama told the Egyptian protesters "we hear your voices". Huh. Must've got that hearing aid fixed, because he couldn't hear squat during the health care debate.
New Wikileaks documents show that in 2008, the US threatened to go to war with China if they destroyed any of our spy satellites. These days, they probably get a free spy satellite photo as a gift with every Treasury Bond purchased.
On Tuesday, a suspected Taliban leader being held in Gitmo died while exercising on an elliptical machine. Strange. These guys usually die choking on steak & lobster dinners.
A judge in New Orleans ruled that the Obama administration acted in contempt by continuing its deepwater-drilling moratorium after the policy was struck down. Well, that's a step up. Usually Obama's policies are beneath contempt.
