Just saw the President's Message of Support for U.S. Olympic Team.
After seeing the President's message of support for the U.S. Olympic Team Speaker Boner and his band of Teathugs responded by saying they can't be sure the President can be trusted to truly support the team. In response, the Teathugs have withdrawn their support of the United States Olympic Team. In addition, Boner said the Olympic Team likely trained on that phony Obama snow.

With his superficially sunny disposition and a ruthless political strategy of exploiting white-male resentments Reagan convinced millions of Americans that the threats they faced were: African-American welfare queens, Central American leftists, a rapidly expanding Evil Empire based in Moscow, and the do-good federal government.
Here's to the Grifter: a bad actor, an ignorant man, and the worst President ever.

2. Number 1 Rethug health care plan, "Hey Poor and destitute, hurry up and die."

First of all, the last two apologies were not at all necessary. Melissa Harris Perry called Mitt Romney's black grandson gorgeous (go back and check the tape). Yes, it would have been nice if someone on the set said, "God bless their hearts for being open minded in adopting someone outside of their race." This is about as minor an infraction as I could imagine. Instead we got a tearful apology that was hard to watch and hard to stomach.
Now, there was a tweet sent out about how some right-wingers might not like a biracial ad by Cheerios. Gee...
I think Cenk about covers it in this extended article.

People become consumed with envy, however, when they think they cant get rich, Carlson opined.
Ahh, No. People worry they that can't educate their children, find adequate health care for themselves or their family, earn a living wage, find a affordable place to live, and cast a ballot in the next election.
Envious of the one percent. Make me retch, not rich.
Problem is the poor are just envious.
