Another fine day at the White House ...
President Obama is still so fixated on fundraising and divisive campaign tactics that major tragedies and world crises get ignored.
At 10:40 a.m. Tuesday, the @barackobama Twitter feed posted a tweet that said 'Snack time' along with a photo of two small children picking up apples from a bowl in the Oval Office.
First Lady Michelle Obama, who has been on a national media tour to discuss childhood obesity, is shown sitting with the toddlers in the photo, holding her own apple. The infamous White House branded M&M boxes are, of course, nowhere to be found.
The president is seen chatting in the background.
Meanwhile ...
While the president is tweeting about apples and political fights, the families of seven Marines tragically killed Monday in a training exercise are mourning their loss.
The Syrian government accused rebels of using chemical weapons in an attack Tuesday.
The House of Representatives has started debating its annual budget, while Mr. Obama's budget is now seven weeks past the statutory deadline.
Pope Francis I rode into St. Peters Square for his installation Mass. Vice President Joseph R. Biden was in attendance.
"The longer I live the more I see that I am never wrong about anything, and that all the pains I have so humbly taken to verify my notions have only wasted my time."
Personally, I'd rather keep him on the golf course. He can't cause as much trouble there.
'Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.' Roman Poet Juvenal – 77 AD

mrtxstar: Mass job-killing for the sake of an ideological end is domestic terrorism. The Biden immigration plan isn't about immigration, it's about flipping Texas blue which ultimately leads to the GOP never winning another federal election ever again. No Thank you.
