Chris Matthews to President Obama – You Should Sue Congress – Video

Sometimes, I strongly disagree with Chris Matthews of MSNBC, like when he went on his show and clearly parroted talking-points from the Teaparty, or when he said that Democrats should accept the Teaparty and their crazy ideology. His acceptance of the Teaparty and their message has caused some rather angry posts to be written about him, right here on this site.

But there are other times when the unpredictable host of Hardball say things that’s worth repeating. Like on a previous broadcast when Matthews suggested that if Boehner and the Republicans are suing Obama for… absolutely no reason whatsoever, then maybe the President should sue Congress for not doing their job!

I’ll agree with that, but I’ll be more specific and suggest that President Obama should sue John Boehner and the do-noting Republicans in Congress.

Now you know this wouldn’t happen, even if it were possible for the Executive branch to sue the Legislative branch. This president, for whatever reason, seems to want to stay above the fray, and maybe this knowledge that Obama would not do anything, is the reason why Congressional Republicans are the way they are… determined to do nothing, determined to collect a paycheck from the rest of us, while not performing their duties!

In New Jersey, Hillary Clinton Beats Chris BridgeGate Christie – Poll

(Reuters) – New Jersey voters favor Democrat Hillary Clinton over their own Governor Chris Christie in the 2016 presidential race, according to a poll released on Wednesday.

Clinton, the former secretary of state and U.S. senator from neighboring New York, would be more fit as commander in chief than Republican Christie, said half of those polled by Quinnipiac University.

“As Gov. Christopher Christie traipses around the nation, his presidential potential seems alive, but former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the adopted girl next door, easily beats him in his home state,” Maurice Carroll, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.

Clinton was also the front-runner against other possible top Republican presidential contenders. She led former Florida Governor Jeb Bush by 54 percent to 34 percent, U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, by 55 percent to 35 percent and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee by 57 percent to 34 percent.

The early look at the upcoming presidential race in the Garden State showed a broad gap between female and male voters.

While Clinton led the overall poll over Christie for the presidential race in New Jersey, 50 percent to 42 percent, women favored her by 54 percent. Men chose Christie over Clinton 44 to 42 percent.

GOP Official – “offending Muslims is the duty of any civilized person.”

Republicans. They call themselves the party of inclusiveness. This is apparently how they grow their membership.

Gavin Ellzey, the vice chairman of the Kansas Republican 3rd Congressional District Committee, advised on Twitter in early July that “offending Muslims is the duty of any civilized person.”

Ellzey added, “Especially with a .45.”

In an interview with The Star, the Overland Park resident acknowledged writing the tweet in response to television news reports about Christians being “crucified” overseas.

“Sometimes you overreact,” Ellzey said.

“I’ve had folks call me,” he added. “I’m not trying to offend anybody. I sure wouldn’t shoot anybody. I don’t even own a gun.”

He said he later deleted the tweet.

Democrats Hit Hard Against Scott Walker in Wisconsin – Ad

This is the ad that’s causing a stir in Republican circles in Wisconsin and nationwide. Mary Burke (D) and her campaign put together an ad using Scott Walker’s own words, showing things he promised then and how they are now.

That ad can run against any Republican by simply replacing the names. There are many areas where they said one thing, then did another.

Commuters Lift Train to Save Man’s Trapped Leg – PICS and Amazing Video

An unbelievable scene, and a very important lesson on coming together to work towards a common goal.

Commuters and railway staff teamed up to free a man by rocking a train carriage to free his leg after he became trapped between the platform and a carriage on Wednesday morning.

The man was boarding a rush hour train at Stirling station, 9km northwest of Perth, Western Australia, at 8.50am when he slipped and one leg became wedged in the gap.

Quick-thinking passengers and staff saved the man leg’s, as it was being squeezed by the 90-tonne of train, by collectively rocking the carriage.

Hillary Clinton’s “Unannounced” Appearance on The Colbert Report – Video

By the way, Hillary Clinton is running for president.

In what seems to be an unscripted spontaneous appearance, Clinton “surprised” Stephen Colbert last night as he was conveniently in the middle of dissing her book, Hard Choices.

“This book is 656 pages of shameless name-dropping,” Colbert said before Hillary showed up on set. “I just don’t buy any of this. There is no way on earth one woman can be in so many places at once.”

Her appearance turned out to be a competition to see who knew more people. Of course, the Former Secretary of State won.

Republican Official – Forget The Lawsuit, Just Impeach Obama!

Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC) said in a radio interview Monday that the House needs to stop wasting time and money on suing the President and get straight to impeachment.

In the interview with the “Talk of the Town” radio show on Greenville, N.C. radio station WTIB, which was flagged by BuzzFeed, Jones blasted the vote his colleagues took last week to sue Obama, saying he was “one of the five” Republicans to vote against it. He said it would cost taxpayers too much money.

“My problem with what my party is trying to do to sue is it will cost the taxpayers between two and three million dollars,” Jones said. “Use the Constitution, that’s what it is there for.”

Jones said impeachment was designed to get a President’s attention when he or she surpassed their executive authority.

“Thank Alexander Hamilton. He felt that the Congress needed to use this process to get the attention of a President. And if the President had lost the public trust then move forward in that area,” he said.

MSNBC Host Claims It’s a Fact, That Obama “is From Kenya” – Video

MSNBC host Joy Reid brought on another MSNBC host, Chris Jansing on her show to discuss the U.S.-African Leaders Summit and the importance of the summit being successful under President Obama’s watch. Reid went to Jennings and asked for her input on the success of that Summit and I’m sure she was shocked by Jensing’s Teaparty/Birther answer.

“And the fact that he’s from Kenya,” Jansing said. She continued, “and the fact that when he was elected there were great expectations from Africa continent that he would do great things for them…”

She later corrected herself.

Watch Rand Paul Run, Trying to Escape The Dreamers – Video

So Steve King and Rand Paul were at a fundraiser in Iowa, eating burgers and meeting supporters. No problem here, politicians do that all the time. But then something strange happened, two Dreamers were ushered to the table to meet the Republicans and when they identified themselves as “Dreamers,” Rand Paul stuffed his mouth with his last bite and sprinted way out of town!

Reminded me of Usain Bolt!

Steve King was forced to explain his controversial “calves the size of cantaloupe” comment, but Paul, the man who is vowing to be Republicans’ fearsome leader and be the President of this country in 2016 was no where to be found.

The Man Who Filmed Eric Garner’s Murder is Arrested

They’re calling it a set up.

Ramsey Orta, who filmed the NYPD chokehold that resulted in a Eric Garner’s death, was arrested Saturday on gun charges, and his family thinks the NYPD is punishing him for the video.

Police say officers saw Orta stick a handgun into the waistband of his friend as they were leaving a “known drug prone location” on Staten Island Saturday night — just one day after the city medical examiner ruled Garner’s death a homicide.

Orta’s family told the press that the cops had been following him, even parking outside of his house in wait. Orta’s wife Chrissie Ortiz said he phoned her during the incident. “He called me and said, ‘babe, hurry up and come over here, they’re trying to pin something on me,’” she said.

“They park across the street, they follow him,” Ortiz said. “It’s obvious. Once they rule this a homicide, now you all of a sudden find something on him? Come on, let’s be realistic. Even the dumbest criminal would know not to be doing something like that outside. So the whole story doesn’t fit at all.”

Eric Holder – “1000%” Happy to Be an Activist Attorney General

It’s easy being called an activist when it’s for the right reason, and when you’re a part of an administration whose main goal is working for the people, being called an activist is a good thing.

Eric Holder recognized this fact, and he is embracing being called an activist “1000 percent.”

“If you want to call me an activist attorney general, I will proudly accept that label,” Holder told journalist Juan Williams in an interview published at The Hill.

“Any attorney general who is not an activist is not doing his or her job,” he continued, adding that “the responsibility of the attorney general is to change things [and] bring us closer to the ideals expressed in our founding documents.”

Asked later about his response to critics who claim that the Justice Department houses an activist civil rights division and an activist chief, Holder said “I agree with you 1000 percent and [I am] proud of it.”
