10. Speaking of crickets,

seems the President is serving cans of STFU to Republicans.

GOP bites its tongue on gay-rights executive order

By Steve Benen

Despite the fact that President Obama has issued fewer executive orders than any modern president, congressional Republicans tend to include these orders in their indictment against the White House. Obama’s willingness to use executive orders in response to congressional intransigence, GOP officials argue, is emblematic of an out-of-control tyrant.

With this in mind, yesterday offered a unique opportunity. The White House announced it’s preparing an executive order protecting LGBT Americans from employment discrimination among business that contract with the government. For the right, it’s a story that checked a lot of boxes: an executive order on gay rights that regulates the private sector.

Obama effectively painted a bull’s eye, inviting Republican apoplexy. And yet, crickets.
