This may be the worst White House press briefing I've ever seen. Jay Carney is melting. Way too many scandals to simultaneously defend.

Well, CNN is always protecting Obama, but they're now out of consensus if you're watching the White House press conference right now. In 4.5 years I've never seen this Obama-loving American media go into attack mode like this. If you close your eyes, you'd think Bush must be president they're attacking so hard.
There are just way too many scandals for Obama to defend right now. Using the IRS to go after Republicans/Republican groups, the Anti-Freedom of Speech going after the media with this AP nonsense, and of course, the Benghazi cover-up, etc....
Now I'm just left wondering how they'll neatly dismiss all this, lol. Wait for The New York Times to excuse each separate scandal, and quietly follow their lead is my best guess!
You don't consider this an appalling exploitation of the disabled purely for profit?I smell an IRS audit coming.
Facebook moms are gonna riot.
I think it's sad and pathetic on the families who pay the $1000 part, and I think it sets a terrible example for one's family. I also simultaneously think it's ingenious on the businesses part, and wish I had thought of it when I lived down there.

The Huffington Post is even funnier (though to be fair I dont think intellectuals exactly consider that a source of news), their home page top story right now with all this major news negative to Obama breaking today is......... wait for it........ wait for it......
Why Werent The Wall Street Banks Prosecuted.

That is funny. But at least you know where they are coming from...Unlike a more mainstream outlet that works under a cloak of credibility

wait, isn't phone tapping the liberal AP considered a great thing by conservatives? I'm confused... Patriot Act in motion. Balances out the holdup of the tax exempt status of Tea Party named groups by the IRS doesn't it?
Here you go Jim. Wear it with pride.

I'm not being a smart-ass...I'm honestly curious ....do you know if the subpoena power they are claiming came from a Patriot Act statute? Would be interesting if it was...Not in a good way.

I don't know. I just know we lost half our personal rights if not more whenever they want to ignore them under that disaster of legislation and it's offshoots/extensions. Basically it's the trump card for any activity they don't want to channel through normal (due) process. I expect it will be cited as the parachute to save butts when the real details come out. "Investigating AP sources" which were unnamed for a reason. Drone attacks on US citizens, wiretapping, detainment without due process, all part of that sweeping act's powers. What was sold as a tool against terror was actually a big pair of scissors to cut up the bill of rights. Used in it's purest form - sure it's a good thing. How often is something that powerful not misused or abused? There's plenty of documentation about it on the web - section II is the most scary for me as a citizen. Incredible amounts of information are requested under the act and it was just extended again by Obama for 4 years in 2011.

Plenty to read there if you want about privacy, domestic surveillance, drone use in the US and so on.

Definitely have to agree.
In other news, Obama actually gave this "dont believe people who tell you not to trust the government" speech to college kids just 1 week ago in Ohio.
This really happened, not doctored tape, not a post-fact Onion spoof.
You dont understand how it works. Read up on "below the fold" journalism.

Someone definitely got murdered around the corner from me in Rockaway today. 12 this afternoon I saw the cops and ambulance pull up to the house on my way to the gym before work. 13 hours later on my way home from work there are 6 county sheriff K-9 units, 4 detective cars and 2 vans either CSI or county morgue. The house is lit up and plenty of activity inside. Freakin insane man.
I have a friend who lives next door to the house and told me that the guy was drunk and smoking pot when the cops came and a woman (guessing his wife) died falling down the stairs. They also found a good amount a pot plants in his house. He's guessing he pushed her down the stairs. The guy apparently was the neighbor from hell form some of my friends horror stories.

the USA has a 0.08 BAC level? or is that just NJ/NY?
It's actually 0.05 here, and in all honesty, anything higher really is asking for trouble. Although not knowing the drink/driving culture over there, it really is bad here and is needed, so I'm not sure how it will affect you lot.
