I'm afraid you're wrong on 0bama being able to do whatever he wants. If Boehner ever grows some onions and some smarts and realizes the press is going to excoriate the(R)s no matter what, he could get on with doing the right thing and quit worrying about the image.

Boehner is nothing but a crybaby Rino. He says one thing and does another. Hmm? That also sounds like Obama.

I now pray for all the Justices of the Supreme Court, that they will have good health and will live another four years so the ODUMBO will not be able to appoint a new Justice.

Boy are you right. The re- election of John Bonner as speaker was as dumb as the re-election of ODUMBO.

20 stories, I think. Very few politicians in Washington are willing to risk reelection in order to do the right thing. None seem willing to cut spending. We are going downhill until they run out of other people's money, and the only difference between the two big government parties is the pace of that - one is a slow jog, the other a sprint. I wouldn't even bother to pee on any of them.

He controls the press, the Congress, the judiciary, the justice dept, the food supply, the power grid, the transportation system, all electronic communication, the water supplies and to cut to the quick he is about to nullify the 2nd. Amendment. This is the level of denial that Obama and progressives have depended on and it apparently has worked very well.

That's a twelve story "if".

By all accounts, President Obama won the fiscal cliff showdown. Why anyone would take much pride in this kind of "win" is beyond me. It's a bit like being the least filthy toddler in the mud pit.

One of the main reasons Obama won, according not only to Obama but an at times cheering press, is that he had a mandate. He ran on the need for the wealthy to "pay their fair share."

To his credit, Obama never said raising taxes on the "rich" will solve all of our problems. What he did say, however,...
