| President Barack Obama says he would be “considered a moderate Republican” in the 1980s because his policies are “so mainstream.” In an interview with Univision 23 on Thursday, a Spanish station based in Miami, the president was asked about the perception among some Americans that he has a socialist vision for the country. “One issue that Cuban-Americans are worried about is, they believe that you favor a socialist model for our country,” Obama was asked, according to a transcript of the interview compiled by The Hill. “Cubans and Venezuelans especially because of what they have gone through.

Hey Barack, ever heard the phrase:
Actions speak louder then words...
So lie all you want but you aren´t fooling all of us.

Would you take on Patco and fire those toads´ keisters?
Would you invade Grenada and kick the Cubans out?
Would you cut taxes, triggering a massive prosperity boom?
Would you scare the living daylights out of the Iranians - Ahmadinejad in particular who´s been around - so that they dropped their hostages immediately, before Reagan even took office?
Didn´t think so. What a self-delusionary fraud. He really thinks he´s Reagan now.

I think what he´s angling for is Reagan´s high regard still held among the citizens. He thinks that if he can associate himself with Reagan, his presidency will not be viewed by history as the miserable failure it is.
Won´t work. Reagan delivered results. Obama has delivered failure and decline. Decline is a choice, Obozo.

Ditto from the secret service since they are officers of the law. Is the entire freekin country corrupt? Obama is insane and way too many people are trying to hide it from us.

Back in the 80s Obama wouldn´t have shaken hands with a Republican of any sort. He made that clear in his memoirs:
”I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”
The only reason he could be putting on the cloak of Republican moderate now is that he is angling for Reagan´s glory.

Well, actually, the electoral college hasn´t met yet (the 18th). If the pubbie delegates had the spine they could not show, causing a lack of quorum, thus forcing the presidents selection into the house; which might not do us much good with cry-baby, git-a-long, boner in charge.

If we had an honest Congress and Senate you would have been prosecuted and impeached years ago. Your lack of integrity is an insult to the Democratic Party and the country

Wrong answer . Obama would have been considered a pot head and a communist in the 80´s. I remember the 80´s clearly, but for Obama it was mostly a blur. Nothing has changed except the drop in IQ of democrats who now can´t recognize Joe Stalin in a Santa suit.

The Senate voted down an amendment to the upper chamber´s immigration bill proposed by Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) that would require a full biometric visa tracking system placed at every land, sea, and air port of entry in the United States before legalized immigrants could receive green cards. The measure, which was also called for by the 9/11 Commission in the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks, would establish a biometric exit-entry system.

NEW YORK — The New York Police Department´s widespread spying programs directed at Muslims have undermined free worship by innocent people and should be declared unconstitutional, religious leaders and civil rights advocates said Tuesday after the filing of a federal lawsuit. "Our mosque should be an open, religious and spiritual sanctuary, but NYPD spying has turned it into a place of suspicion and censorship," Hamid Hassan Raza, an imam named as a plaintiff, told a rally outside police headquarters shortly after the suit was filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

While the controversy over the National Security Agency surveillance program has dominated the news recently, concern about the Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations remains high and is inching up. Despite the large number of controversies engulfing official Washington, the number of people following the IRS scandal has actually increased in recent weeks. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 82% of voters nationwide are now following the IRS targeting story, including 44% who are following the story

Mixed-race people are more likely to be considered black by conservatives, who are subconsciously attempting to “justify racial divisions,” said the authors of a new government-funded study. The report, originally released earlier this month, has begun attracting criticism from those who see political bias in the results.

Researchers asked participants to look at pictures of mixed-race people and say whether they

Her campaign slogan: “Vote for me. I am a woman. What difference does it make?” The Draft Hillary movement is really taking off. There hasn’t been this much excitement behind a Draft Hillary movement since, well, the last time there was a Draft Hillary movement. Remember that? Back in 2008?

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.

It is understood that a contingency plan is in place for the unlikely event that an attempt would be made on the President’s life. The Secret Service also have diplomatic immunity which will allow them to shoot to kill a would-be assassin without fear of prosecution. As part of the “evacuation route” plan, they would be able to spirit the President by chopper to one of the carriers where a jet is on standby to take him back to the United States.
