Two types of old guys...those that go to sleep early and others that don't know what sleep is.

I bet when there is a debt ceiling compromise that Fool, Bobo, the Post Turtle, will say it was all his idea and take full credit.....if it works.

LOL!

The DoJ said they wouldn't appeal the decision and an appeal would have to come from Congress. That technically overturns DOMA if Congress refuses to file an appeal within the allowed time period.

I don't get what he's on about since no one ever said that a President has to enforce every law all the time. In fact I mentioned he did not.

I do believe the virtue of a President ought to be called into question if he does not enforce a law he doesn't like but then enforces one he does because "it's my Constitutional duty to enforce the laws of the land".


Regardless, that is not saying "This law is unconstitutional and therefore I will violate it".

I think you see the distinction.

It's his constitutional duty to protect and defend the constitution. If a law violates the Constitution, it's in no way, shape or form his Constitutional duty to enforce it. Just the opposite, it's his duty to NOT enforce it. You can ask for an immediate injunction from the courts if you don't agree with his interpretation. That's how our system of government works.
 
I don't know, now whenever I see Obama giving an address, I think of the Al Gore character on South Park "Why won't anyone listen to me? I'm super-serious!"
 
Actually a fairly good speech. Don't agree with Mr Obama on quite a few things but he did lay out what is wrong with politics. It has become dysfunctional not divided.

I've said for many years now, you have to pay attention to this fucker. You have to watch him, listen to what he says, then you will truly see what he is.

I am utterly disgusted by his speech and what he said. He offended me with just about every single sentence. May fuck be upon him.

Pay attention to this president. This speech just pissed of a sizable chunk of Americans. He even pulled out the "teachers and firefighters angle".
 
Am I the only one who think Boehner looks like a little green leprechaun with that tie?

I can't take him seriously. No serious man wears a bright green fucking tie.
