You think so?

Did you think he would get a pass to put America in the debt we are now in?

Did you think he would get by with appointing a ridiculous amount of Czars without anyone even knowing how much they are being paid and what their authority is?

And that is just for starters.

Well you have to admit it's rather telling that everyone stood to applause but the justices. They looked sort of stunned

The nurse sent the request to The President and Congress and waited for a response. Soon the word arrived; President Obama and Nancy
Pelosi would be delighted to visit the priest.

As they went to the hospital, Obama commented to Pelosi, "I don't know why the old priest wants to see us, but it will certainly help our images and might even get me re-elected. After all, I'm in it to win!" Pelosi agreed that it was a good thing. When they arrived at the priest's room, the priest took Obama's hand in his right hand and Pelosi's hand in his left hand. There was silence and a look of serenity on the old priest's face. Finally, President Obama spoke. "Father, of
all the people you could have chosen, why did you choose us to be with you as you near the end?"

The old priest slowly replied, "I have always tried to pattern my life after our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ." "Amen," said Obama. "Amen," said Pelosi. The old priest continued, "Jesus died between two lying thieves; I would like to do the same."

Love it!!!!!!!!!

Praxeas, fwiw, republicans and democrats crave power, it is the elixir they are addicted to. To intimidate the Supreme Court, on national TV, as POTUS attempted, provided an opportunity to wrest some of the constitutional mandated separation of powers from the Supreme court is worthy of applause on both sides of the aisle, but not from the American public.
