| Explaining why he has no choice but to demand an increase in the legal limit on the national debt, President Barack Obama said at a Monday press conference that Congress orders him to spend money. “This is a matter of Congress authorizes spending,” Obama said. “They order me to spend," he said. "They tell me: ‘You need to fund our Defense Department at such-and-such a level. You need to send Social Security checks. You need to make sure that you are paying to care for our veterans.’ They lay all this out for me, and--because they have the spending power

Obviously, Congress needs to force him not to spend. Defund him and his administration and all their pet projects.

Seriously, is there not a single Republican who will stand up and say, "We´re telling you to stop spending and to help you we will not approve a red cent more."
I can´t tell what is more depressing. A U.S. President who wants to destroy this country or the Republicans who are going to let him.

He´s right. Congress, that is the House, authorized the payments. We have held the House for two years and still there is a spending problem. Why? If the House thinks our government is spending to much the Constitution gives the House the power to correct it. Since the Repubs have had the power over the purse for two years and the spending has continued I guess they really don´t mind. Just sayin.

The Washington DC area is one of the wealthiest and most vibrant economic areas of the country - housing values are very strong, hotel rates are high, restaurants are full, cocktail parties galore, flush with lobby and Arab oil money...the place is a boom town!
There are only a handful of people who give a damn about you or your values.(And J. Boehner isn´t one of them)
We are experiencing the final days of the great American experiment. Bread and circus, insolvent, drowning in debt, enttilements and regulations....diverted by intentional sleights of hand, abetted by a compromised press, and over run by illegals who neither pledge nor care about the Constitution or the rule of law.
I´m on the "back nine" and I am glad that my mother and father did not experience what I am. How sad.

Congress authorizes and allocates, the Executive thru the Treasury disperses. Obama´s power to spend or not spend is far greater. If we come up to the ceiling Obama can call up Geithner or Lew, whoever´s there and tell them to withhold funding for any service or project he desires. Imagine he stops funding meat and poultry inspectors, he´ll cripple our economy and be able to blame Republicans. Not many Steak Houses can open without Steak. KFC, Chic Filet, Churches will all close their doors. Obama will have a blank check to destroy the economy. ValJar said before the election that they´d get even with their enemies after they´ve won. I believe her.

Most "children" stop saying "see what you made me do" at about 10. At least we used to. Now 30 or more is the new 10.

Has there ever been a re-elected President who had this much trouble before he even takes his second term? Are we supposed to forget all of his illegality and wipe the slate clean? Valerie should explain some facts of life to him someday.

Dear Congress,
Will you please ´order´ the President, the Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces....´ORDER´ him to go jump off a cliff? Take a long walk off a short pier? Go play in D.C. traffic? Go sit in the corner and stare at the wall? Hold his breath until you say stop?
Please?
Thanks!

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday it is “morally outrageous” to ban abortions after five months of pregnancy. “It is morally outrageous, frankly,” Nadler said about the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797), a bill that would ban abortions 20 weeks post-fertilization, or five months into pregnancy. “Here we go again,” he said. “Every single year we have to go through the same nonsense with the same morally presumptuous, morally arrogant attitude that we know better. ‘We know better than women and their doctors. We know better about their health care.

Bill Ayers believes President Obama gets a “failing grade” for his presidency, and should be tried for “war crimes,” along with all living presidents who have engaged in acts of “terrorism” abroad. Sitting down for an episode of RealClearPolitics’ “Morning Commute,” Ayers told host Charlie Stone that, on policy, Obama receives a “failing grade” along with the “F-minuses” he’s given previous presidents like George W. Bush and Richard Nixon. “I don’t think he’s let anybody down,” Ayers added, pointing to how during the 2008 presidential campaign then-Senator Obama consistently declared himself to be a “middle-of-the-road, pragmatic politician.”

National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander told the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday that the NSA whistleblower that leaked classified information on the agency’s surveillance program caused “irreversible and significant damage” to the nation and helped America’s enemies. “I think it was irreversible and significant damage to this nation,” Alexander said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) asked how damaging it was “to the national security of the American people that this trust was violated.” “Has this helped America’s enemies?” Bachmann asked Alexander. “I believe it has, and I believe it will hurt us and our allies,”

John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he might lose his job as House speaker over immigration reform, but he insisted he will not bring a bill to the House floor that does not have majority support of both Republicans and Democrats. Following the Republican conference meeting on Tuesday, Boehner was asked: “Rep. Rohrabacher said that if you bring immigration reform to the floor without the support of the GOP conference you will lose your job (as speaker). Do you think that’s accurate?” “Maybe,” Boehner said after a long pause, to laughter from reporters.

Rev. Al Sharpton, host of MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation,” said Friday that Republicans are “scared,” because the party is “built on fear and obstruction.” “This is who they are. They are scared, because the party is built on fear and obstruction, and no matter how hard they try, it’s not working,” said Sharpton after reading a tweet from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that bragged about being “Obamaphobic.” “If supporting real immigration reform, not path to citizenship is ‘Obamaphobia,’ guilty as charged. RT is you’re a fellow ‘Obamaphobic!’” Cruz tweeted in response to Sen. Robert Menendez’s (D-N.J.) accusation that Cruz has

In line with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s order for troops to have their workplaces searched for “degrading or offensive” materials -- part of an attempt to curb sexual assault in the military -- the Navy will inspect even its bathrooms. While what’s degrading or offensive is open to interpretation, the material can include song lyrics and “inappropriate cartoons.” In a memo sent on June 13, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered that all sailors, Marines, cadets and civilian employees have their workplaces searched by June 28.

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

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans
