When POTUS substitutes full-time campaigning for actual governing (in which he has zero experience and even less accomplishment), this is what you get. A thin-skinned rookie at the helm of our country who can't - or won't - learn how to become an adult and make decisions in which he's accountable.

sarabellum speaks gibberish and thinks it's a foreign language.

One way to ensure the timely and efficiently accomplished task of border security (and not all those 2000 miles can or need to be fenced) is to tie that completion to the next step of regularizing those illegals here that have no other criminal record, save crossing our border illegally. Also, tie regularizing with school choice vouchers so those school-aged kids can attend the school that best meets their educational need. That just might break some of the Democrat log-jam. Republicans favor school choice by a far greater margin than Dems.

RGR -- You appear to have taken lesson on how to plant a field of Straw Men from Obama. The right wing does not "hate government". We applaud and appreciate, even revere, Constitutionally limited government that does only what it is enumerated to do in that document. We know that without government there would be anarchy and chaos - and we don't want that because we know you liberals wouldn't know how to defend yourselves, so we are there to defend you, as needed. Your posts are boring and predictable.

Obama is the epitome of narcissistic politician. He says one thing, then does the exact opposite.

She doesn't perceive it as a spending problem because it's not her money being spent. When it's OPM - Other Peoples' Money - it's not a spending problem. Classic liberal thinking (or what passes as thinking).

"It's amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless, individuals on a website can drive that type of story into the mainstream, but that's what they have done successfully,". Isn't this similar to what Sen. Harry Reid did from the Senate floor when he made his allegations of Romney not paying his taxes for 10 years? He attributed the claims to a "nameless, faceless individual(s)...". What goes around, comes around, Sen. Menendez.

Hmmm, senior Democrat officials and sex scandals. Isn't that a resume enhancement?

When will someone in the WH Press Corps bloody Jay Carney's nose for being an insufferable twit? Man, I'd pay good money to see that!

raul -- The "stimulus" can be called a failure by any objective measure. We both know much of it was used to maintain current levels of local government spending and employment rather than actually spur the economy by adding private sector jobs - which actually pay taxes from selling a good or service. If you are concerned about Medicaid, then you must also be in favor of block-granting that aid to the States for their use as they see fit, rather than as the Feds mandate it?

I'm as critical of "green" energy as the next realist, but using LED lights at the Superdome, motion sensors and better insulation at the library and other venues just makes sense whether the electricity is generated by a nuclear power plant (my personal favorite, as nothing is more energy dense than atomic fission) or unicorn pharts. Now, if the DOE had touted the use of windmills and solar panels for the "green" electricity, then the loss of power during the Game would have been predictable.
