| During a Monday press conference in the White House, President Barack Obama was asked about his seeming lack of interest in socialization with other members of the political establishment in Washington. Obama said that, while he is a friendly person, it takes two to socialize and Republicans are generally not interested in being seen with him. He blamed “media that is preferred by Republican constituencies” for creating an environment in which a Republican politician seen with Obama has to fear a primary fight in their next election.

Comments: He sure is something else isn´t he? It sure takes a twisted mind to blame lack of socialization on the media. And then he brings up Charlie Crist as an example?? Good. Grief. That man has major psychological issues. What a pity for us.

I am sure Barry will be posting all of his photos with W on the white house web page to show how friendly he was with the opposition President when Barry was a senator.

Yes, any first year student of psychiatry could diagnose mental illness in this guy.
I feel like I have been violated. And I certainly am being lied to by the mainstream media. They are the greatest enemy a free people have ever faced in history.
It´s amazing how powerful truly dumb people can become.

His so-called presser today was textbook Alinsky. And campaign talking points and buzz words and expressions. Also tried to change history by saying that he got what he wanted - except that the middle class grew from his $250K limit to $400K.
He was disgusting.

I am recalling something our host once said about another Democrat President....
Something about disdain and medication as I recall.
I think the current redient of the White House is causing similar distress for a lot of us.
Lord have mercy upon your wayward people.

Does that mean that we are not "falling in step" with our lovable/personal Dictator?
What has happened to our country? Have we lost our sense of value and our reason for existing, that we are able to think for ourselves, have the God-given ability to rationalize what is going on?
Every day that Obama speaks he suffers from "foot in mouth" disease!
How important it is that we decipher what this man is saying with/without his teleprompter!
We have never been in such a mess as we are in today and it will only be rectified when we come to our senses and realie what has happened, eager to unite to bring about change!
God alone is able to "deliver US" from the mass destruction that exists in the White House and Obama was freely given full reign to destroy US.
Wake up America before it is too late.
We endured one term, will be able to survive another?
This is a "rude awakening" to what is to come if we don´t make a stand for "righteousnes".
Sin destroys a nation and only God can restore US to the country we used to be - One nation under God, with liberty and justice for all! Amen (so be it!)

A variation on the theme that Barry O. is bipartisan and above politics, the Great Compromiser - while his opponents are partisan, politically motivated, and refuse to compromise.
In fact, he lacks political ability. He in unable and unwilling to work with others who disagree with him. There has probably never been a U.S. president less adept at politics than Barry O.
People who say he is a consummate politician mistake rhetoric and demagoguery that sway the masses for political ability that would permit him to work constructively with adversaries. Obama is a demagogue whose only skill is inflaming the masses and pulling the wool over their eyes. The latter is made infinitely easier by a sycophant and partisan media.

REmember how classy Bush always was about the Clintons and all past presidents, how classy he was about the Democrats--he never used ad hominem, never used the vilest straw men possible like Obama does when talking about their ideas. Remember how Bush invited Congressional Dems to social events at the WH, etc. SO much more mature, classy, and truly bi-partisan than this president. Yet the media insists it was BUSH who was DIVISIVE!! Unbelievable...

So marvelously said Dennis Miller on Fox New´s the O´Reilly Factor in a discussion about the Internal Revenue Service scandal Wednesday (video follows with transcript and absolutely no need for additional commentary): DENNIS MILLER: Nobody in the press is going to bear in on this. Let´s face facts: the American media is in an abusive relationship with Obama. They don´t quite know what to do. If you take the New York Times, you could refer to it as "Fifty Shades of Grey Lady."

On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper dug into the controversial way in which members of President Barack Obama’s administration have apparently tried to intimidate whistleblowers in the government and the journalists that would investigate their stories. Tapper said that some, including the New York Times editorial board, have described the administration’s actions as “threatening fundamental freedoms of the press.” He warned Obama’s supporters to remember the precedent his administration is setting when a Republican next occupies the Oval Office. Tapper noted that the scandal surrounding the subpoenaing of Fox News reporter James Rosen’s personal telephone and email

Write you? About this particular subject? Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan asked during a House Oversight hearing. “Did you get letters from Congress?”

The chief judge of the District’s federal court issued an unusual order Wednesday, apologizing to the public and the media for not making certain court documents widely available online. The gesture of transparency by U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth comes at a time when the Obama administration is under scrutiny for an unprecedented number of leak investigations, including one showing that the Justice Department had secretly probed the news-gathering activities of Fox News reporter James Rosen. The investigation of Rosen was first reported Monday, after The Washington

In some other universe this would be shocking. In this universe it’s par for the course, and I don’t mean the golf course, but the guy who makes the golf course his second home. The US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ronald C. Machen – the man responsible for the aggressive surveillance and phone record scrutiny at Fox News – is also a big donor to the Obama Campaigns. At the time of his appointment, the Washington Post wrote a profile on Machen including this tidbit: Over the years, he has donated $4,350 to Obama’s campaigns.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.
