Obama agenda: Picking Perez

AP notes that Obama will announce today his nomination of Justice Department lawyer Thomas Perez as the head of the Labor Department.

A majority of Americans – 53% -- say the Iraq war was a mistake, per Gallup, on this 10th anniversary of the war’s start. 

The Boston Globe: “The new group, Organizing for Action, has the president’s full backing, some of the same key political staff — even the same acronym. But it has a different mission and is playing under a looser set of rules that allow it to accept unlimited campaign contributions and cloak much of its activities in secrecy. The first organization of its kind so closely aligned with the political brain trust of a sitting president, Organizing for Action has generated strong criticism from watchdog groups who say it could permit undue influence from wealthy contributors.” 

“The battle for President Obama's library appears to have boiled down two finalists: Chicago and Hawaii,” USA Today writes. “Universities and community groups in both places are busy lobbying the president's people for the facility that the contestants see as an economic and cultural boon. ‘It is a tough choice, but it's not one that I've made yet,’ Obama told an interviewer last month.”

I love messing with Texas. They want everyone to think they are big and bad. I lived there for awhile and have relatives there. I never have seen so many two-faced people anywhere than in the lone star state. Yes, that includes my relatives.

Any state that would elect the likes of Ron Paul and Rick Perry can't be playing with a full deck. You Texans may want to hold 'em but I say you should fold 'em and just slither into a hole covered with cow dung and a tumble weed.

OFA sells access to the Presidency. So banana republic-like it would be funny but it's just too sad.

Apt, even Hollywood knows it on a subconscious level.

More banana republic policy from the most corrupt administration in U.S. history.

The idiot leftists of France are not so into the whole cult-of-personality thing as our stupid leftists are. The way Obama is destroying America's economy one would think he would be as popular here as he is in Pakistan...8%.

When President Obama took over from George W. Bush, the economy had already lost 2.6 million jobs. And, yet, you insist on ascribing our economic difficulties to the Obama administration? Since Obama took over, the American auto industry is profitable again, a major reason why the midwest helped re-elected him in 2012.

President Obama has been very, very good for our economy. Now, he is trying to put the middle class on more stable ground. Republicans would cut the middle class off at the knees. in order to increase the wealth of the 1%. That was evident in Romney and Ryan's policies, and the reason they were not elected to office.

You share your "invaluable" opinion through your Avatar... The portal through which the simpler chimps fling their feces.

Amy states her opinions quite clearly and concisely. So, just as clearly, they're not meant for people like you to attempt to understand.
