| Apple CEO Tim Cook will sit with Michelle Obama as the President delivers his State of the Union speech on February 12. Cook is the second member of the world of Apple to join the First Lady. At last year´s speech, Mrs. Obama invited the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs to view the SOTU speech. Gene Sperling, a top White House economic adviser, confirmed the First Lady´s invitation as well as Mr. Cook´s acceptance. "Apple is a great American company, and it stands for our sense of innovation, invention, entrepreneurship, and risk taking and I think that´s

The line up for sitting with Big Moo grows longer as one after the other her sycophants capitulate to another Valerie Jarrett directive that they show up on time and act as though the love and care for this bag of dung.

Of course he is attending; he is the representative that is specific to the gay agenda that the president will mention. We must have someone gay in attendance to acknowledge the goodness of the ONE.

Reason #64 to boycott Apple products. Right behind #63 which is that they are way, way overpriced.

Golly! I´d heard all the guests this year would be victims of gun violence.
I appreciate another commenter ´splainin´ that he´s the Token Gay Guy.
I don´t s´pose the $16 trillion national debt is part of the state of the union. (If it´s mentioned, it will probably be Dear Leader declaring that it´s being handled expertly by his team of luminaries.)
The state of the union is as grim right now as it´s been in my lifetime.

I would think that Barak and Mooch invited Cook to sit with the big butt one. Good move on Cook´s part to accept. Apple can use them when needed in DC issues. There is zero crony capitalism associated with Apple. When i was there in the 80s, Apple refused to do business with the feds. We appointed a federal oriented dealer in VA, rather than sign a GSA agreement.

Innovation is dead at Apple. From now on they will have to make money via inertia.
So, now they want to get in the Crony Capitalism pipeline - and suck from the govt teat.

I´d like to see a president with the smarts to pull the plug on this dog and pony farce.
Make a 30 minute address from the Oral Orifice whilst sending the written report
on the State of the Union as required by law to Congress and be done with it.
Save money (a million bucks or more), protect security (no mass gummint gathering)
and get on with business.
The theatrics are nonsensical and phony.
Lyndon Johnson is the one who bastardized
this spectacle. It goes hand and hand with a laundry list of gargantuan spending ideas.
Time we ditched it... long overdue in fact.

Amazing, the overlap between the drinkers of Apple koolaid and the drinkers of leftie koolaid. They both get a lot of practice lining up like lemmings for expensive, um, solid waste.(It was grape-flavored Flavor-Aid, of course, but koolaid is the meme.)

A bipartisan group of House members introduced legislation on Wednesday to protect journalists from government snooping. “Freedom of the press is a foundational freedom upon which all of our other freedoms and liberties are based and protected,” said Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.). The Free Flow of Information Act, H.R. 1962, would protect reporters by preventing the government from compelling the disclosure of their source material, except under certain exceptions that must go through judicial review. Those exceptions include cases where it is necessary to prevent an act of terrorism, imminent death, or other harm to national security.

Under President Obama, "justice" is anything but blind. Neither is it deaf. In fact, based on recent revelations, it appears to be watching your every move and listening to your every word. Still, if you happen to be a federal employee, now it´s even listening for your silence. The only thing this Obama White House seems to generate is scandal. Well, here´s yet another to add to the growing list. In addition to the Benghazi cover-up, IRS targeting of political dissenters and the illegal seizure of media phone records, whistleblowers within DOJ have contacted Liberty Counsel

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met with three people at the White House Tuesday who are in the country illegally but received “deferred action” that allowed them to stay in the country under a memorandum issued by administration unilaterally last June in a memorandum issued by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. In all, Obama and Biden met with eight people advocating for comprehensive immigration reform on Tuesday, according to White House readout of the meeting. The White House readout of the meeting listed three of those as having received “deferred action.”

I’m certainly not going to do that. So people may hear things that are true, they may hear things that are not true, but I’m going to try to keep being focused on issues that are important to

WASHINGTON — The Tea Party wants former Alaska governor Sarah Palin to join their favorites in the Senate, Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.). They say she can win and they have a poll to prove it. Yikes, is America ready for a Senator Palin? The Tea Party Leadership Fun commissioned a Harper Poll that shows Sarah Palin leads the Republican field in Alaska for the upcoming Senate seat. It is only by 2 points (32 to 30%), but that is without her even saying she is interested. Not that Democrat Sen. Mark Begich is planning

WASHINGTON - Republican Representative Darrell Issa said on Thursday he will call Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner back to testify before his committee on the IRS-Tea Party scandal after she asserted her constitutional right not to answer questions. "We are obligated to bring Lerner back because she did not properly take the Fifth (Amendment)," Issa said. "She clearly chose to make her statements and then not open herself up to even any questioning as to the statement she made," said Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The growing IRS-Tea Party scandal, which has robbed Democrats of the so-called "trust edge" they held over Republicans, is now jeopardizing the Democratic majority in the Senate and even hopes that Hillary Clinton will replace President Obama in 2016. "This hurts the Democratic Party and will hurt anybody who runs for president in 2016," said former Clinton White House counsel Lanny Davis, a major supporter of Hillary Clinton. Speaking on national radio´s Andrea Tantaros Show, he added that if the the White House had prior knowledge of the IRS scandal,

I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

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

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.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

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.”

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to
