But the complain, even threaten to sue the president for doing his job.
Year: 2014
According to what one source told The Hill Newspaper, Pope Francis is acting “too liberal” and “sounding like Obama.” So a resolution to honor the Pontiff could die in the congress.
The resolution, written by Reps. John Larson (D-Conn.) and Pete King (R-N.Y.), congratulates Francis on his March 2013 election and recognizes “his inspirational statements and actions.”
The seemingly innocuous resolution was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, which hasn’t acted on it. The panel didn’t comment for this article.
The inaction and the lack of a white smoke signal from Boehner have sparked speculation that politics is at play.
Only 19 of the 221 co-sponsors are Republicans. The dearth of GOP members on the measure could be attributable to assertions that the pope is “too liberal,” according to a Republican backer of the legislation.
The source noted that Francis last year denounced “trickle-down economics.”
Some Republicans believe the pope is “sounding like [President] Obama. [The pope] talks about equality — he actually used the term ‘trickle-down economics,’ which is politically charged,” the GOP official said.
Mississippi Republican governor Phil Bryant has some nerve! Just like other Republican governors nationwide, Governor Phil Bryant has denied the people of his state any access to healthcare through Obamacare, and has refused to expand Medicaid through the provisions provided under Obamacare.
That is expected. He is after all, a Republican and as such, has put his political ideology above the health needs of the people he governs. After a WalletHub study of the uninsured in Mississippi found a 3.3% increase in the uninsured rate, Bryant is putting the blame squarely on Obamacare… the same Obamacare he refused to implement in Mississippi.
“If statistics show that the ill-conceived and so-called Affordable Care Act is resulting in higher rates of uninsured people in Mississippi, I’d say that’s yet another example of a broken promise from Barack Obama,” Bryant said.
The nerve of this dude!
An estimated 137,800 people in Mississippi were left uncovered by health insurance because the state did not expand Medicaid.

Ya hear that Sarah Palin? Karl Rove is talking to you and your ilk!
But then again, we are talking about Karl Rove here. He’s just another partisan right winged Republican whose statements should be taken with a grain of salt.
Rove, the former advisor to George Bush, went on Fox News’s On the Record and cried shame on all those Republicans who are talking about impeaching the President. Rove is angry with these Republicans because they have lost the impeachment talking point, and he feels that President Obama and the democrats are now taking advantage of it. Rove said that the White House is “suggesting a constitutional crisis” in an effort to “fatten the accounts of Democratic fundraising groups.”
This however, is what Rove is saying this week. Next week, it is very likely that he would be the leader of the impeach Obama posse.

In typical Colbert fashion, the new “project” by Sarah Palin was placed under the microscope and dissected like a dead frog… which it probably is. Colbert then pointed out that Palin’s new channel – sarahpalinchannel.com – is nothing like his new channel, thesarahpalin.com. You see, Colbert bought the new “theSarahPalin.com” because like the very skilful executive that she is, Palin forgot to secure that domain!

Stephen A. Smith Suspended From ESPN
Following his statement about domestic abuse, a statement that spawned controversy nationwide, ESPN formally took steps to distance itself from Smith… at least for one week.
The company announced Smith’s suspension on Tuesday saying, “Stephen A. Smith will not appear on First Take or ESPN Radio for the next week. He will return to ESPN next Wednesday.”
Smith formally issued an apology on Monday for his comments insinuating that women provoke their abuse, and should do their part not to get hit.
You know how to Dick Cheney always blame President Obama for mistakes he and George Bush made? Every chance he gets Cheney goes on national television and point fingers at President Obama, ignoring the fact that the 10 year disaster in Iraq happened under Bush’s watch.
Well Hillary Clinton has had enough of the Cheney lies and hypocrisy, and in an interview airing tonight on Fusion, Clinton sets the record straight once and for all!
When asked about Cheney’s claim that “rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many,” Clinton said, “He should’ve been talking about himself, shouldn’t he?”
She added;
“I don’t know why he’s saying what he’s saying, and clearly we don’t need that kind of vitriol and finger pointing,” Clinton continued. “One of the things we’ve lost over the last few years is that idea where we’re going to have our differences but when we face problems, whether they’re humanitarian problems, terrorist problems, whatever they might be, we need to come together and work together and we need to have a nonpartisan approach. And he keeps trying to inject a personal and partisan approach where it doesn’t belong.”

Big Bad Rick Perry. He don’t need no freakin’ gov’ment! If these little children want to cross the border in his state, then Big Bad Rick Perry knows exactly how to handle these young little rascals whose only hope is to survive. He’ll send in the National Guards… 1000 of em!
Now Rick Perry already knows that the National Guard can not do anything to these children. He’s already admitted that in numerous interviews. But Big Bad Perry is trying to send a message, a photo-op for those other children thinking about crossing the border – Look, we have the National Guards at the borders.
“It’s just like a law enforcement effort in your neighborhood,” Perry said, explaining his reasons for ordering up the Guards. “Where you see a parked patrol police car on the corner, and the bad guys see it and don’t commit a crime.”
That message, that photo-op is going to cost the state of Texas $12 million dollars a month.
But according to news reports, Big Bad Perry apparently didn’t think this thing through. Who’s going to pay for the 1000 National Guards ordered by Perry to waste time at the border? A $12 million a month price tag?
Reports say that macho man Perry is now running to the Federal Government to ask for help paying for his vary expensive photo op.
Perhaps realizing the threat, President Obama dispatched a team to the border last week to determine whether a federally organized National Guard deployment was necessary.
No matter what (President Barack) Obama decides to do, Perry has said he intends to ask the federal government to pay for his deployment of 1,000 troops, estimated to cost $12 million a month.
Speaking about the new Sarah Palin endeavour to take people’s money – the launch of Palin TV – Meghan McCain made it clear that she is not a fan of the Palin.
“When I looked at her site, though, I don’t know how this is different than a blog with video posts. It didn’t look like a video channel,” she said.
Meghan compared what Palin is trying to do, to Glenn Beck and the actual network he began. “Glenn Beck has TheBlaze which is an actual channel you can turn to on television.”
Asked by her co-host Jacob Soboroff if McCain plans to subscribe to Palin’s new channel, which costs $9.95 per month, McCain gave an emphatic no.
“I am not gonna subscribe to Sarah Palin’s $9.95 per month. I got all the Sarah Palin I need for one time.”

Arizona senator John McCain is pushing back against all the impeachment talks, because although he believes the president should be impeached for… being president, McCain is pushing back because he realizes that “there just aren’t the votes” in congress for impeachment.
“We’re not gonna impeach the president of the United States,” McCain told Phoenix radio station KFYI. “There just aren’t the votes there even if we believed that it was warranted.”
Saying that Democrats are happy with talks of impeaching the president because they’re able to raise funds off the issue, McCain implied that if Republicans win the Senate in November, then anything, even impeachment, is possible.
“I think the Democrats view [impeachment] as a good way to raise money to use against us, and I don’t want to let that happen. But I do believe the President has broken more laws by executive order — let me put it this way, I think he’s abused the executive branch in a way I don’t recall any other President doing that, by these executive orders that are just directly contrary to the law.”
Listen to the audio here.
The group started by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg released a powerful new ad hitting three members of congress for their support of guns.
The ad focuses on an all too common scenario – the often deadly combination of domestic violence and guns.

Well imagine that!
Laura Ingraham, the conservative radio host and Fox News contributor, says she may run for public office one day.
“I’ve been approached by various people to get involved,” Ingraham told The Sunday Times over the weekend. “I’m keeping an open mind about running for office in the future.”
Ingraham did not specify what office she would pursue, nor where. She was not immediately available for comment on Monday.
In recent months, Ingraham has campaigned aggressively against immigration reform, backing “anti-amnesty” candidates like Dave Brat, who defeated Rep. Eric Cantor in Virginia, and Tennessee Senate hopeful Joe Carr.
