Congressional backlash will be very limited from the GOP. A lot of tough talk. But if they try to react the same way congress reacted to Reagan they're going to cement themselves as dead to a large portion of the population. Demographics have changed too much to be that heavy handed.

Quote from: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/kris-kobach-obama-ethnic-cleansing

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) on Sunday warned that President Obama's executive actions and general "lawlessness" on immigration could lead to "ethnic cleansing."

Kobach, a vocal advocate of the anti-immigrant movement, claimed during his radio talk show that there was a strategy to replace American voters with Hispanic ones who favored socialism.

"The long term strategy of, first of all, replacing American voters with illegal aliens, recently legalized, who then become U.S. citizens," Kobach said. "There is still a decided bias in favor of bigger government not smaller government. So maybe this strategy of replacing American voters with newly legalized aliens, if you look at it through an ethnic lens, ... you've got a locked in vote for socialism."

Koback also responded to a caller who was concerned about ethnic cleansing, which the caller claimed was a threat from immigrant and Hispanic rights groups.

"What happens, if you know your history, when one culture or one race or one religion overwhelms another culture or race?" the caller asked. "When one race or culture overwhelms another culture, they run them out or they kill them."
Kobach then responded with his take.

"What protects us in America from any kind of ethnic cleansing is the rule of law, of course," Kobach said. "And the rule of law used to be unassailable, used to be taken for granted in America. And now, of course, we have a President who disregards the law when it suits his interests. And, so, you know, while I normally would answer that by saying, 'Steve, of course we have the rule of law, that could never happen in America,' I wonder what could happen. I still don't think it’s going to happen in America, but I have to admit, that things are, things are strange and they're happening."

Reagan used executive orders to limit the deportation of more than 200,000 Nicaraguans, and HW did a similar thing for Chinese students.

Quite obvious there were political reasons for those actions as many of those people were fleeing those areas due to unrest/persecution. Especially in the case of Nicaragua, where Reagan was deeply invested.

The Obama administration said it erroneously calculated the number of people with health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, incorrectly adding 380,000 dental subscribers to raise the total above 7 million.

The accurate number with full health-care plans is 6.7 million as of Oct. 15, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed today, saying the U.S. won’t include dental plans in future reports.

Quote from: http://mediamatters.org/blog/2014/11/21/now-fox-amp-friends-is-upset-that-obama-is-quot/201665

Obama quoted lines from the Bible in a November 20 address, explaining the nation's responsibility to reform unfair immigration enforcement policies. He declared, "Scripture tells us that we shall not oppress a stranger, for we know the heart of a stranger -- we were strangers once, too. My fellow Americans, we are and always will be a nation of immigrants. We were strangers once, too."

His use of scripture did not sit well with the hosts of Fox & Friends the next day. Co-host Tucker Carlson called it "repugnant" and argued, "For this guy specifically, the president who spent his career defending late-term abortion, among other things, lecturing us on Christian faith? That's too much. That is too much." Elisabeth Hasselbeck attempted to rebut the scripture Obama used with scripture of her own, quoting verses from Proverbs and saying she is "going to get into a scripture-showdown." According to Hasselbeck, Obama used the Bible to guilt people into supporting his executive action, and that's "not what the scholars behind the Bible would interpret as proper use, perhaps."

funny how the Times article notes he pissed off the WH by making a hyperbolic statement about ISIS, back when they were just a JV team to Obama. Now the WH is making hyperbolic statements about ISIS.

I guess the takeaway is that we're getting "serious" about a "serious threat."

I reacted to an article and quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager. After many hours of prayer, talking to my parents and re-reading my words online, I can see more clearly how hurtful my words were. Please know that these judgmental feelings truly have no pace in my heart. Furthermore, I'd like to apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended with my words, and pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I have) from this experience.

The hell? You need hours of prayer before you were able to realize you were a mean spirited asshole?

Quote from: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/lauten-sasha-malia-class-arrested-teen

The Republican staffer who lectured Sasha and Malia Obama on their clothes and told them to "try showing a little class" wasn't exactly a perfect teenager herself.

Elizabeth Lauten was arrested at age 17 for misdemeanor larceny after she allegedly stole from a Belk Department store in North Carolina, according to court records reviewed by The Smoking Gun. The charges were dismissed since Lauten was a first-time offender and she didn't get into additional trouble.

Lauten resigned as the the communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-TN) on Monday following backlash over a Facebook post about the Obama daughters' attire at the White House turkey pardon ceremony.

"Dear Sasha and Malia, I get you’re both in those awful teen years, but you’re a part of the First Family, try showing a little class," she wrote last week. "Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar."

Just in case you thought the House Intelligence Committee led by Darrell Issa (R-CA) releasing a report that found no evidence of wrong-doing on the part of the Obama administration with regards to the Benghazi attack would be sufficient to finally quiet the controversy down:

Quote from: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/rand-paul-report-benghazi-house-intelligence-committee--2

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) went after the recently released House Intelligence Committee report on Benghazi suggesting, along the lines of other Republicans, that the report may have not told the whole story of what really happened or even was incorrect.

Paul made the argument in a piece published by Breitbart on Monday in response to the Republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee releasing a report saying "no intelligence failure" prior to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi. "This one sentence tells us how seriously we should take this report," Paul wrote.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) have both expressed skepticism about the findings of the report. Graham said the report was "full of crap."

Paul asked in the piece whether the report was "perhaps not telling the full story?"

"Multiple highly-respected news outlets reported on arms possibly being smuggled from Libya to Syria, before and after the attacks on Benghazi," Paul said. "Were all the stories fabricated? Or did they contain some useful or pertinent information related to this investigation?"
