If you only listen to these Republicans, you’d thing that the term “Executive Orders” originated in the Obama administration. And you’d think that Republicans have gone above and beyond, doing all they can to work with the president in making sure the country moves forward. You’d be perplexed, trying to figure out what the President’s State of The Union Address was all about and you’d be confused as to why Obama talked about doing it alone if Congress failed to act.
If the person described above fits your way of thinking, then I’d say you’re probably an avid Fox News viewer. But as usual, you’re not getting the truth watching Fox.
The facts of the matter is, Congressional Republicans have done everything possible to block this president, to render his presidency a failure, to make sure Americans feel the pain, to make sure they suffer for electing the black dude in the White House. And after years of reaching out to Republicans, waiting for them to come to their senses, President Obama realized that time would never come and declared that he is now prepared to use the powers authorized by the Constitution, and do what he can for the American people.
And for his decision, Michele Bachmann is flipping out. How dare he follow the Constitution!?!?
Responding to the President’s State of the Union Address, Bachmann threw down the gauntlet!
“He’s the president of the United States. He’s not a king. He may think he’s a king, he may declare himself king, but that’s not what he is under our Constitution.”
“If he wants to move forward with this unilateral activity, he better be prepared for the lawsuit that the United States Congress will bring to him.”
Yea, you do that Michele. We already know that you have no clue about the Constitution, forget he Constitution. We all know you have serious issues with thinking. So do you Michele, do you…
Pastor Steven Andrew on Tuesday night delivered “God’s State of the Union” address in response to President Barack Obama’s speech to the nation.
The conservative pastor of USA Christian Ministries called on Americans to serve the God of the Bible rather than false gods if they wished to receive his blessings and see their nation’s prosperity restored.
“We want to seek God with all of our heart and soul,” Andrew said. “We want to obey the Holy Bible with all of our heart and soul, and we want Jesus as our king. This is how you restore God’s blessings. People like Barack Obama have a totally different vision of America. His vision is to follow Satan.”
It is clear Obama is following Satan, according to the pastor, because he is openly encouraging “homosexual sin” and violating God’s unalienable rights “by forcing people to have death panels.”
He described Obama as a covetous liar who was not a part of the “Kingdom of God.”
Proclaiming Jesus as the Lord of the United States could also solve the nation’s financial troubles, Andrew said.
“Americans right now are suffering. There is great economic problems in the United States of America. We have the biggest debt in the world. How is this going to go away? This debt is going to go away by humbling ourselves before the Lord and not by serving Mammon but by putting Jesus Christ first.”
Continuing his monopoly on twentysomething nostalgia, Jimmy Fallon brought in three of the most beloved early ’90s father figures on Wednesday night to help sing away his Tonight Show transition blues.
Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier reprised their Full House roles — as Danny Tanner, Jesse Katsopolis, and Joey Gladstone, respectively — and the whole thing was so adorable, you might even forget that they were comforting a 39-year-old comedian dressed in children’s pajamas and sitting on a bed framed by four gigantic pencils (a la Michelle Tanner).
The guys also reenacted some of their signature Full House tag lines:
First meeting between the president and Cory Remsburg
PHOENIX — Sgt. 1st Class Cory Remsburg and his father, Craig, knew they would be watching the State of the Union address in the box reserved for guests of the first lady. But they didn’t know exactly where their seats would be.
Someone at the top of the stairs directed them to the first row. Craig Remsburg guided his son — who walks with a cane and has limited use of his left arm after nearly being blown apart in Afghanistan — down the five steps.
Craig Remsburg scanned the names taped to each chair. There was one that said Dr. Jill Biden. Another said Michelle Obama.
The chair next to that one had his son’s name. “Oh,” he thought. “OK, here we are.”
In that seat, in the minutes that followed, Cory Remsburg would be seen on TV by an estimated 33.3 million viewers. He would turn into a representative for all wounded soldiers. And he would be lauded by the president as a role model, a man whose own struggles to walk and talk again mirrored the struggles of the nation.
It was something the 30-year-old didn’t expect when he left his suburban Phoenix home and boarded a flight Monday to Washington, D.C.
Remsburg had received the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. He had been feted at Gilbert Town Hall, and a local group of motorcycle riders welcomed him home when he was released from rehabilitation centers.
But while sitting in the front row of the gallery at the U.S. Capitol, the recipient of a nearly two-minute standing ovation Tuesday night, Remsburg would become part of the national conversation.

“I don’t think I deserve that much recognition,” Remsburg said Wednesday, during an interview after landing at Sky Harbor International Airport. “I was just doing my job.”
Less than a week after getting arrested in Miami, the 19-year-old is back in his native Canada following a jaunt down to Panama—and he has run smack back into legal trouble.
Bieber is going to be charged with assault in connection with an incident reportedly involving his entourage, who were being investigated for allegedly roughing up a limo driver after the group attended a Toronto Maple Leafs game on Dec. 29, according to CBC News.
Legal reps for Bieber have not been available for comment, but we were told that Bieber was expected at the police station to turn himself in at around 6 p.m. local time.
Per the CBC, he will be officially charged at the 52 Division station and given a notice to appear at a later date.
So we all know about the website set up by the White House encouraging Americans to voice their opinion on matters important to them. Any petition that garners 100,000 signers would, according to the White House, get an official response.
The petition to deport Justin Bieber has already passed the 100,000 signatures requirement. So if you’re a fan of the misguided entertainer or if you call yourself a “belieber,” then maybe it’s time to start worrying.
Didn’t know the president’s State of the Union address had that much power. If you listen to Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, you’ll be on the next flight to Mars if you’re a man, Venus if you’re a woman.
After praising President Barack Obama on immigration, South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham blasted the foreign policy portion of the State of the Union speech.
“The world is literally about to blow up,” Graham said, saying he completely disagrees with Obama on Iran policy.
Obama pledged to veto any additional sanctions legislation while negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program are ongoing.
“The world as I know was not remotely described by the president. Syria is a contagion,” Graham said.
Some people would do anything to be famous, that 15 minutes of fame is what they call it. Well veteran weatherman Jim Cantore, wrapping up his report on Winter Storm Leon, put an end to this youngster’s tryouts at stardom real fast, punctuating it with a knee to the unsuspecting prankster’s midsection.
Cantore was at the College of Charleston campus in South Carolina and you can see his attention was diverted for a split second before the hollering youngster makes his move, running full speed toward the weatherman.
Without missing a beat, Cantore simply raised his right knee, providing a rather hard surface for the fame seeker to run into. With him out of the way, Mr. Cantore finished up his thought on the weather storm, as if this sort of thing happened all the time.
“Obviously, here at the College of Charleston they are already having a good time,” Cantore said, as he finished up his report.
I don’t see how a man who stole government secrets, fled to a communist country and is disclosing those secrets to the world on a regular basis, a man who by his own actions have caused multiple nations to look at the United States Government with skepticism and in some cases, more hatred than before, could be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but according to two Norwegian politicians, Edward Snowden fits the profile of someone bringing peace to the world.
According to the Norwegian politicians Baard Vegar Solhjell, and Snorre Valen, Snowden’s actions had “contributed to a more stable and peaceful world order.”
Of course, a nomination does not automatically mean that Edward Snowden is the winner, but it has put his name in the category of greatness, of someone who has done wonders for humanity.
I beg to differ.

Republicans have found an opening. They, like vultures, are zoning in on a little discrepancy in Davis’ story and as far as they’re concerned, this little discrepancy is enough to disqualify Wendy Davis from running for governor in Texas.
Davis has long said she first took a job at 14 to help support her single mother and three siblings in Fort Worth, Texas. By 19, she was married and divorced with a child of her own and living in a mobile home.
After community college, she graduated from college at Texas Christian University and with honors from Harvard Law School. She later returned to her home state and built a successful legal career before jumping into politics.
But The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that Davis was 21 — not 19 as stated in her online Texas Senate biography —when her first marriage ended in divorce. Also, Davis and her daughter Amber only lived a few months in her family’s mobile home.
That’s it. That’s what Republicans are gabbling about trying to disqualify Wendy Davis from running for governor in Texas. Even Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol… yes, the very same Bristol who had her daughter out of wedlock and who is apparently the standard bearer for Republican parenthood, chimed in to attack Davis’ parenting skills. In one of her useless posts, Bristol wrote;
“Gosh, children are sooo inconvenient, huh? I’m glad my mother didn’t put motherhood on the shelf when she was elected to City Council, then became our mayor, then governor.
[and addressing comments to Liberals, she said]
“I know you would rather think about Wendy Davis, so let’s get back to her. She’s more your type of woman. She left her kid, husband, made it into a false ‘made-for-tv-movie-type tale’ and then demanded that Texans have the right to kill babies. That’s the woman you libs can really get behind!”
Davis of course dismissed the accusation from the insignificant one. But it was the responses from her daughters that’s worth mentioning. Here is one of the letters from Dru Davis, one of Wendy’s daughters.
My name is Dru Davis and I am Wendy Davis’s daughter. I hate that I feel the need to write this, but I have been reading and hearing so many untrue things about my mom and I want to set the record straight. And sadly I feel the need to be crystal clear on the malicious and false charge of abandonment as nothing could be further from the truth. My mom has always shared equally in the care and custody of my sister and me.
My mom had my sister at 19 and although she was technically married for a short period of time, she was handling almost everything on her own. She was working 2 jobs regularly and going to school. She met my dad when Amber was still very young. They had an amazing love that I witnessed for many years. Unfortunately, it didn’t last, like so many love stories don’t.
I can tell you that my mom was a remarkable mother and continues to be so to this day. She was there on my first day of school and my last, and so many days in between. She never missed a school performance or a parent-teacher conference. Even if that meant she had to miss something else important. My sister and I were always her first priority. She was there when I needed her and even when I thought I didn’t. My mom was my Brownie Troop leader. I still remember camping out in the backyard with my troop after our trip was cancelled because of bad weather. She was also my field hockey team mom during my senior year of high school, not to mention that she went with me to every single field hockey camp, tryout, program that I ever had. She helped me sort through college possibilities, helped me with my applications and visited colleges with me.
I will never forget our drive to Colorado when she was dropping me off as a freshman at Colorado College. I cried the entire way. I am surprised she made it through that one. And after we got there, she stayed for days making sure every detail of my room was perfect until I finally had to tell her to leave.
My mom has been my sounding board for everything in my life, from resumes and papers to helping me with relationships. She was and is an amazing mother and has been the greatest role model I could imagine. Whatever happened, whatever difficult things she and my dad went through, she was always there. And I knew I was loved by her, regardless.
Yes, she went to law school after my sister and I were born. We lived with her the first semester, but I had severe asthma and the weather there wasn’t good for me. My parents made a decision for my sister and me to stay in Texas while my mom kept going to school. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t there for us. She traveled back and forth all the time, missing so many classes so that she could be with us. Her friends were such a big help. Especially her third year, when she would only go to school two weeks out of the month and her friends would share class notes so she could try to keep up while she was home with us in Fort Worth.
I love that my mom went to law school and was dedicated to both her work and us. Watching her work so hard to achieve something great has been one of the most important lessons in my life. To this day, I watch my mom greeted and hugged by people who love her and are thankful for things she has done for them. I am proud of her for that. Both of my parents made sacrifices to make education happen for all of us, my sister and me included. And both of them have been great role models for what it means to care about people in the world.
ATLANTA (AP) – Students camped out with teachers in school gyms and commuters abandoned cars along the highway to seek shelter in churches, fire stations – even grocery stores – after a rare snowstorm left thousands of unaccustomed Southerners frozen in their tracks.
Vehicles make their way around a beer delivery truck that slid off county road 25 in Wilsonville, Ala. during a snow storm which hit the south. A winter storm that would probably be no big deal in the North all but paralyzed the Deep South on Tuesday, bringing snow, ice and teeth-chattering cold, with temperatures in the teens in some places.
Tuesday’s storm deposited mere inches of snow, barely enough to qualify as a storm up North. And yet it was more than enough to paralyze Deep South cities such as Atlanta and Birmingham, and strand thousands of workers who tried to rush home early only to never make it home at all.
Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal said the National Guard was sending military Humvees onto Atlanta’s snarled freeway system in an attempt to move stranded school buses and get food and water to people. Deal also said the Georgia State Patrol was sending troopers to schools where children remained stranded early Wednesday after spending the night there.
State transportation crews were continuing to treat roads and bring gas to stranded motorists, Deal said.
