Forget Congress; Mr. Obama will run this nation all by himself.
Obama promises more dictatorial action in 2014 '“But one of the things that I’ll be emphasizing in this meeting is the fact that we are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone," he added.
Translation: Obama is set to use his executive authority to bypass Congress -- again."
Dan Pfeiffer: 'President Obama is ready to use every executive action available' "White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer sent an e-mail early Tuesday to preview President Obama's plan to use his executive power in ways Americans have never seen before." Lucianne
You’ve Been Warned ... "unfettered by having to face the electorate again, a second Obama term would be a nightmare for the country — four years of unencumbered mischief in the Oval Office while the criminal organization masquerading as a political party gets on with the serious business of picking its next candidate to ensure that eight years of “fundamental change” are irreversible:" ...

Rush Limbaugh: Dictator Obama: I'll Use Executive Orders to Make This Lousy, Unjust Country Fair
... " He's gonna make this lousy country finally fair! Never mind he's been running it for five years. Never mind the fact that his entire economic policy has undermined the old saw about work hard and you can make it. Because not only can you not work hard, you can't work. " ...
Chris Matthews, check out this left-wing bigotry!
Weasel Zippers "If she married a white reporter from MSNBC or CNN you can be sure the “progressive” left wouldn’t be barraging her with racist insults."
From Mediaite
"Sister Sister star Tamera Mowry tearfully told Oprah Winfrey’s network that her marriage to Fox News correspondent Adam Housely had earned her scores of racially-tinged abuse on Twitter and elsewhere."
Adam Housley ... "In April 2013, he secured an exclusive interview with a Special Operations whistle-blower who felt the government betrayed the four men who died in the Benghazi attacks on September 11th.

"Democrats atop a political “hit list” of politicians who betrayed Hillary Clinton in 2008 are trying to get back in her good graces as she weighs a 2016 comeback.
"Clinton campaign aides kept a detailed list of lawmakers who supported Barack Obama in the Democratic primary, according to excerpts from the forthcoming book HRC: States Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton, by The Hill’s Amie Parnes and Politico’s Jonathan Allen.

The ‘crime’ of the IRS
NY Post
"Only days after we learned the Obama administration had appointed an Obama donor to head investigations into the IRS targeting of conservative organizations, we now have a leak from law enforcement saying the FBI doesn’t expect to file criminal charges.
"That’s the gist of a late-breaking story Monday evening in The Wall Street Journal. The story notes that though the investigation may go on another few months, unless other evidence is unearthed, the FBI conclusion will be that the IRS was a “mismanaged bureaucracy” enforcing rules “ it didn’t understand.' ”
RS Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner testifies before Congress
— but she shed little light on the scandal, only saying that she'd done nothing
wrong and that she wasn't planning on saying anything else.

Has your Rep signed Congressional letter against Israel academic boycott?
Legal Insurrection
"I reported last Friday on the draft Bipartisan Congressional letter to denounce academic boycott of Israel.
"The letter reads, in part:
"The final signature list should be released later this week.
American civil society has been heard loud and clear, with major academic organizations and 190 University Presidents (as of this writing) rejecting the academic boycott.
"Now it is the time for American political society to be heard against the anti-Israel academic boycotters, as well.
"Is your House Representative on the list of signatories? If not, now is the time to reach out to their offices and find out why not." ...
"The letter reads, in part:
We write in strong opposition to the American Studies Association’s (ASA) recent decision to boycott Israeli universities and academic institutions. While ASA has every right to express its views on policies pursued by any nation or government, we believe that the decision to blacklist Israeli academic institutions for Israeli government policies with which ASA disagrees demonstrates a blatant disregard for academic freedom…."As of Friday, there were 36 signatories. As of yesterday, the number had risen to 57. [Update - see list at bottom of post for most current numbers and signatories]
Even more concerning is the singular targeting of Israel for boycott. Like all democracies, Israel is not perfect. But to single out Israel, while leaving relationships with universities in autocratic and repressive countries intact, suggests thinly-veiled bigotry and bias against the Jewish State.
"The final signature list should be released later this week.

More on this from American Thinker: ... "It is time for an IRS Special Prosecutor. This is a lot more serious than Chris Christie making TV ads for New Jersey tourism."My father, who worked multiple jobs and faithfully and honestly paid his taxes for fifty years, had never heard a word from the IRS. In 2008, his daughter was tapped to run for vice president of the United States. Since that time, he has been, in his words “horribly harassed” six times by the agency. They’ve tried to dig up something on him but he’s always operated above board.
Dave Barry’s Review of 2013, the Year of the Zombies (Updated)
WaPo
... "Not in the sense of most of humanity dying from a horrible plague and then reanimating as mindless flesh-eating ghouls. No, it was much worse than that. Because as bad as a zombie apocalypse would be, at least it wouldn’t involve the resurrection of Anthony Weiner’s most private part.
"We thought that thing was out of our lives forever, but suddenly there it was again, all over the Internet, as Weiner came back from the political grave like the phoenix, the mythical bird that arose from the ashes to run for mayor of New York and use the name “Carlos Danger” to text obscene photos of its privates to somebody named “Sydney Leathers*.' ”...

Update; My personal favorite quote from the above article:
In what could be seen as a troubling omen, on March 10, millions of Americans are forced to turn their clocks ahead one hour, despite repeated assurances from the Obama administration that “if you like the current time, you can keep the current time.”
