“So EVERYONE is held accountable”
Just don’t tell anyone at the State Dept, in the White House or the folks at Treasury who still haven’t paid their taxes…
They’ve all got terminal Sgt Schultz disorder. I know nothing and that means absolutely nothing.
Here is a question for them Why does it take AF-1 two and a half hours to get to Vegas and 7 1/2 hours to get back?? Just curious. What, they take the long way home?
Even PT doesn’t account for it.
Did you just hear this petty minded little despot? If the bipartisan group doesn’t move fast enough or as he thinks is right he will step in as he sees fit.
Seriously this is a dangerous man and he’s deluded himself into thinking he’s
a divine ruler. I thought Japan’s emperor was deluded after the bomb but he
can’t hold a candle to Obama.
Who is going to call Dear Leader Obama out…?
The propaganda ‘media’? -LOL!
The cess-pool ‘Congress’? -LOL!
The useless ‘Supreme Court’ -LOL!
Slow down Spook! If you add the mindless blind followers to your list, you and a few of your buddies are the only ones left! ;)
I’ll try and cheer you up… Since Keith was in the mood…
“The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.”

Why is FNC covering this LIVE?
If I watch to watch every word spoken by Dear Leader I would watch CNN or MSNBC.
I watch FNC to GET AWAY from Obama coverage!
I understand Meg Kelly and especially Shep Smith are lazy ‘news readers’; they cut to any LIVE thing so they dont have to do their shows, but this is insulting… I DO NOT WANT TO SEE-HEAR ANYTHING OBAMA HAS TO SAY! Hey Shep “liberal panties” Smith, read some gawd-damn REAL NEWS!
Worse yet Gretchen (aging beauty queen) Carlson is on she may be
worse than Barry lovin Shep.
(just turned it on… uggh. might have to go back to SportsCenter)
I’m going to the weather channel to see if something really has frozen over:-(
I absolutely disagree with that depiction of Megyn Kelly. They often cover the president live–part of that balanced thing, I guess.
Her I am not nuts about.
I mean Marg Carlson.
Surprisingly, Mr. Obama was several minutes early for this campaign speech. Maybe he moved his watch “forward”.
“Most of us used to be them” “They faced ridicule”.
How dare this usurper compare legal immigrants who sailed across oceans to arrive at Ellis Island with papers in hand to millions of undocumented, unskilled, poverty-stricken third-world border jumpers who break our immigration laws and drain our resources. What an insult!!
I doubt Obama could find Ellis Island with both hands and a map.
Hear, hear! See my comment below.
When I go for my walkies I’ll listen to Rush and caught his Marco Rubio interview today. I guess Rubio isn’t afraid of talking to Rush … or Obama for that matter :D
I feel sick
Anyone care to summerize? I can’t bare to watch him and hope one of you did the dirty work.
Was it worth all the money to fly to Vegas?
Saw the beginning of it on Fox. Couldn’t even get past all the cockiness and thank you’s before I shut the TV off. I’ll get the skinny on his speech from Mark Levin tonight. He is the best interpreter of the demagogue’s words.
It was off the scale smug and cocky. Funny because he’s a big girls blouse basically and hides behind women.
A bit O/T but interesting that somebody is finally asking for Morton’s resignation. About time!

I mean Gretchen…she really does look like a Gretchen.
He doesn’t uphold the current immigration laws. What difference would another law passed by Congress make? Rush is right, this administration moves from crisis to crisis keeping us all in state of turmoil. Just yesterday they were threatening to take away our guns and today they’re threatening our national sovereignty. The man is lawless and he will do whatever he chooses to do. Agree with Langley – who’s going to stop him?
Fox says 66% in favor of immigration reform. I have mixed feelings because for the past 5 years I have been coaching Latinos with permanent residence permits to get their citizenship. These people have paid c. $1,000 for that residence permit (as well as being legally sponsored), c. $800 to apply for citizenship, and they study hard to become proficient in English, American history and the Constitution. Now, 11 million more will have the path made smooth and easy for them. If anything, it seems very unfair to me to those people who have pursued the legal path.
Amen I have watched many times the history of the immigrants who
came thru Ellis Island. Very moving the sheer effort it took and they
worked hard to get the money to come in the front door and even that was no guarantee you could stay. The ill and others not deemed fit
often went back on the same ship they came on sadly. These people
are the heart soul and backbone of American greatness. They didn’t
sneak in they played by the rules.
Not buying those poll results. Guess it’s all a matter of how you phrase the questions. I’m totally on board with legal immigration. Legal immigrants, especially those who take classes to become naturalized citizens, have a greater appreciation for the freedom and liberty bestowed on us by our founding documents than most American-born citizens. Giving lawbreakers a cut in line ahead of those who followed the rules is immoral and un-American in my opinion.
As always, I have to ask, “What part of ILLEGAL immigrant don’t these people understand?” Allowing illegals a free ride is a slap in the face to every single immigrant who ever came to North America legally, by jumping through the hoops, and by paying for the privilege. Admitting millions of illegal, unskilled people into the country when jobs are already so scarce, and the social benefit system nearly bankrupt, is a huge mistake.
First good news the ‘event’ has concluded. Bad news Hanoi Kerry is confirmed as Sec of State I’m sure he will do as swell a job as Barry’s BFF
Hillary did.:-(
First generation American, child of immigrants from Eastern Europe. Assimilation was key. Family customs and values from the “old country” were practiced at home as appropriate. My father served this country proudly in two wars. We are Americans. Pure and simple and un hyphenated.
I am all for legal immigration. Secure the borders. Enforce existing laws. Go from there.
And it would behoove the President to remember that we are a nation of laws. America was here before him and America will be here after him. He is living on our dime, he serves at our pleasure. He is a public servant.
