Can we admit that Obama has a really big stick?

In 2008, Viviano was asked to produce a documentary about voter fraud within the Democratic Party. At the time, she says she was not a Democrat or a Republican and in fact had never voted in an election.

interesting. yeah, i guess i would agree to produce an unbiased documentary about voter fraud within one of the two major parties. by the way, you can be sure this is entirely unbiased and truthful because i have never voted democrat or republican.

a key player in this conspiracy, timothy dale johnson, the murderer of former chair of the democratic party of arkansas, lived his life as an undercover agent working at the local target for many years waiting to fulfill his duties to keep the president's secret safe

Worried about Spielberg commissioning someone who doesn't care enough about politics to even vote to make a film about voting. I mean he has had his share of creative missteps but this just might take the cake.

(CBS News) In the escalating battle between the administration and the judiciary, a federal appeals court apparently is calling the president's bluff -- ordering the Justice Department to answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have the right to strike down a federal law, according to a lawyer who was in the courtroom.

UPDATE 6 p.m. ET: The White House is declining to comment on the 5th Circuit's order, but the president today did clarify his comments that it would be "unprecedented" for the Court to overturn laws passed by a democratically elected Congress. During a question-and-answer session after a luncheon speech in Washington, a journalist pointed out "that is exactly what the Court has done during its entire existence."

Mr. Obama suggested he meant that it would be "unprecedented" in the modern era for the Court to rule the law exceeded Congress' power to regulate an economic issue like health care.

"The point I was making is that the Supreme Court is the final say on our Constitution and our laws, and all of us have to respect it, but it's precisely because of that extraordinary power that the Court has traditionally exercised significant restraint and deference to our duly elected legislature, our Congress. And so the burden is on those who would overturn a law like this," Mr. Obama said.

"Now, as I said, I expect the Supreme Court actually to recognize that and to abide by well-established precedence out there. I have enormous confidence that in looking at this law, not only is it constitutional, but that the Court is going to exercise its jurisprudence carefully because of the profound power that our Supreme Court has," he said.

Why I Like Judicial Review
By Barack Hussein Obama

I like that when Obama goes a little too far he backs away from it, clarifies what he wished he had said while still making his point, rather than doubling down and trying to create a new fake truth.

[universe]

It's funny that people are all upset about Obama's statement when the entire GOP field is running on the premise that the courts are illegitimate.

[jewels]

and they are saying it's funny that democrats are suddenly against judicial activism.

[Broncobama]

I dunno I think he loses the "silky smooth" for this week. Some awkward comments.

classic gloom

[florida joke]

[Broncobama]

Are you really going to pretend that a string of "what I meant to say" clarifications is silky smooth?

Temporarily revoked. Until next Al Green song.

[good pups]

[Broncobama]

compromise

[The Dirty Turtle]

i dunno gloom that speech he gave yesterday was p. silky imho

[delgriffith]

Yeah I was gonna say. AP speech brings him back into silky. Way to completely tank his chances with the important Hipinion voting bloc.

[Broncobama]

"Did I say unprecedented? I meant barely precedented."

[The Dirty Turtle]

if you saw the "plus" section that speech you woulda said "awwwww shit"

[Broncobama]

[chimp_]

[mcwop23]

Same thing our silky smooth PREZ gets shit for

[VHGisdead]

it seems to me that when you've been given lifetime tenure you should be able to deal with some criticism from the president

[Frank]

some interesting points about this 5th circuit kerfluffle

[Broncobama]

yeah I do not understand this new sensitivity toward never criticizing the SCOTUS

[carlperkins]

it's basically just now is not the time to criticize them for being judicial activists because we think they're about to do the judicial activism that we want

[Amblin]

I was hoping we could get this to "best president ever" by Labor Day.
