Stolen Page from the Obama Diary, July 9, 2014

Barack Obama's Diary, Wednesday, July 9, 2014:

I visited the border today. 

Of course, when I say I visited the border today, I don't mean that I gave in to pressure from those idiot Republicans and actually went to the physical border of the United States with Mexico.

What I did was, I visited a State that shares a border with Mexico.

I am very concerned about the humanitarian crises the influx of unaccompanied children represents. The dangers of their travel, the crimes committed against them, the diseases to which they have been exposed. That's why I visited the border today.

Of course, when I say I visited the border today because of my compassionate concern for those poor little stateless waifs, I don't mean that I gave in to pressure from those idiot Republicans and actually visited with those poor little stateless waifs.

What I did was attend some very important meetings with folks who also care very deeply about this humanitarian crisis. In fact, because they care so deeply about the humanitarian crisis, and trust my vast knowledge, skills and wisdom, they gave me large amounts of money.

Of course, when I say they gave me large amounts of money because they trust my knowledge, skills and wisdom, I don't mean that I've given in to pressure from those idiot Republicans and am diverting the funds they donated to aid the poor stateless waifs.

No. That money, it goes to insure the election of more great Americans of compassionate heart, like me, like Harry Reid, like Nancy Pelosi.

I visited the border today.

Boehner's Boner: Ineffectual Parenting of the Boyking

We've all seen those instances we immediately recognize as illustrations for a life class called Ineffective Parenting 101. You know the scene: a child is insolently and sullenly refusing to comply with an instruction from a parent; or a child is having a tantrum. The parent turns to the child and says, "if you do that again, I'm going to . . . ."

We know this is a pointless exercise.

The parent has already declared allegiance ... to entropy ... to inertia ... to couch-potatoism. The child, though no wiser than the parent, certainly is smarter in this instance. There will be NO repercussions, no consequences of merit.

That's how it feels to watch Speaker John Boehner threaten to sue the ‪#‎boyking‬Barack Obama. You definitely don't see Boehner giving Obama the constitutional butt-smacking he deserves, and, in fact, the only one of two constitutional disciplines of the President that belong to the Congress. If Boehner wants to do his job, he needs to forget about suing the President. Even if he can get every Republican in the House to authorize the suit, the federal courts will, ultimately, throw the suit out (a) because of lack of legal standing to sue, or (b) as presenting a non-justiciable political controversy.

No. If Boehner doesn't want to be the face of a thousand scenes of abandoned responsibility and duty undone, he will direct the House to turn its attention before any other business to drafting, investigating, and voting on Articles of Impeachment. The only just answer to the tyranny of this President is his impeachment, his removal, his indictment, and his conviction.
