That's true! Just the other day, Kathleen Sibelius was seen wandering around the plaza in front of the Hubert Humphrey building, hair all mussed, an empty burger wrapper flapping in her grip, muttering in confusion at her Blackberry.
And apparently Kerry caused great confusion among the Arab interpreters when he met the head of the Arab League and began the conversation by speaking in tongues.
Utter chaos, I tell you.
ICE releasing thousands of criminal illegal aliens in a panic over the sequester, is an administration in chaos.
“All I can say is look, we’re doing our very best to minimize the impacts of sequester,” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a press briefing Monday. “But there’s only so much I can do. I’m supposed to have 34,000 detention beds for immigration. How do I pay for those?”
White House press secretary Jay Carney said the decision was made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement "without any input from the White House."
Napolitano is caught absolutely flatfooted by the actions of ICE, because everyone in 0bama's admin ignored compliance with the sequester. Negligence in this admin was systemic, from 0bama on down.
So the White House and any individual working there is not entitled to free speech? Is that what you're saying?
Your position is that it's okay for our country's presidential administration to threaten individual citizens at will? How very tyrannical and despotic of you.
I give Obama a lot of credit! He is sticking to his guns, and not braking down under pressure from the republicans, because they don't think they should pay higher taxes. The tax breaks given by the Bush administration were suppose to be temporary, something the republicans have a hard time understanding. Bush is responsible for 9 trillion dollars of debt caused from to major wars, while giving tax breaks to the rich: this has never been done in history, to lower taxes during war. Boehner, McConnell, Cantor are determined to keep taxes low for the rich, this is their primary reason for staying in office, to preserve tax breaks. They don't care about any other issue. Grover Norquist has been key in making republicans pledge to never raise taxes regardless of the consequences. Republicans are the enemy, and they will dig their own grave.
There is nothing more dishonorable than what the republicans are doing.
Except that 0bama agreed that he would not ask for tax increases in place of sequester cuts. But then the left does not expect their president to be man of honor.

Lie quietly in a dark room with a cool cloth on your head for a while. The swoon will pass.
I have never understood what prompted people to vote in 2008 for Obama. Based on his history, he was enormously unqualified to be President. I would like to think that when people vote, they look at what a politician has done, absolutely not what he's saying, as they will all say whatever it takes to get elected.
I suspect, had Obama been a white male from Chicago with two years experience in the Senate, voting Present most of the time, he wouldn't have even gotten into the primary. I have nothing personally against Barak Obama as I think he's a good person, just not qualified to lead this country. Nothing he's done since being elected has changed my mind.
Although no one will admit it, they voted for a black man and that is all. The could have cared less about his "qualifications." He didn't have any.
It was a way for the white community to feel good about themselves and show the rest of the world there was no racism in this country. We have evolved from our prior bad deeds and are progressive as a society.
I said the same as you: Obama is, overall, a good person and means well. However, he was NOT qualified to be President of The United States. IF he had been a US Senator for 8-10 years, he wouldn't have made the monumental mistakes that he has and will.
Your position is that it's okay for our country's presidential administration to threaten individual citizens at will?
The question has been answered...and answered and answered and answered. Stamping your feet and demanding it be answered yet again isn't going to yield a different response. No one was threatened. Get over it. You sound like a fool.

Your being snarky does not alter the facts, and the truth, because everything I posted was the factual truth. If you don't think 0bama is a liar, for lying, then use your own descriptive nouns.
OK...
