In an earlier statement, the White House recognized Higginson’s dissent as a “powerful” argument why Obama’s executive amnesty was “fully consistent with the law.” At this point, the White House has not decided whether or not to appeal the decision through a higher court.
The White House reacted to the news that the Fifth Circuit court of appeals denied an appeal from the Obama administration to lift a stay on his executive amnesty plan, accusing two judges in the decision of interpreting the law incorrectly.
“I strongly urge the Senate to work through this recess and identify a way to get this done,” Obama told reporters after a meeting with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, encouraging them to pass the House version of the USA Freedom Act.
Vice President Joe Biden might be regretting an April speech he made in Washington D.C. as he scrambles to smooth over the relationship with Iraqi leaders after coalition forces suffered a key setback in the fight against Islamic State terrorists.
During Memorial Day Services Monday, President Obama reminded everyone present that he had successfully ended the war in Afghanistan.
Iranian elite paramilitary force leader Major General Qassem Soleimani accused the United States of having “no will” to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and blasted President Barack Obama as not having “done a damn thing” to quell the terrorist insurgency. The remarks follow news that Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah is planning to increase its presence in Iraq to combat ISIS.
Charting President Obama’s relationship with the media that passively-aggressively adores him is tricky. More than once, he’s seemingly angered or dismayed them enough to trigger a paradigm shift, only to have the paradigm slip right back to the usual worship of a titan striding across history.
On Friday, President Obama spoke at Congregation Adas Israel just before the Sabbath on the weekend of Shavuot, one of the key festivals of Judaism celebrating the giving of the Torah to the Jewish people. There, Obama proceeded to lecture Jews about “Jewish values,” which apparently include surrendering to Palestinian terrorism, forsaking the land of their heritage, and allowing Iran to pursue nuclear weapons.
It must be stressed repeatedly – as the mainstream media will be extremely reluctant to do – that absolutely none of this information was provided voluntarily by Hillary Clinton or the Obama Administration. Every last drop of it was cudgeled out of them with Freedom of Information Act lawsuits and congressional investigations, over a span of years.
While President Obama still opposes the use of combat ground troops in Iraq, the White House admits that he still wants the option of sending in special forces for combat operations against Islamic State terrorists.
The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS) continues to exploit the disastrous aftermath of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy in Libya, establishing a presence in what India Today calls “the third big stronghold for the Sunni Islamist group.” Over the past four months, ISIS has largely taken control of Sirte, hometown of late dictator Moammar Qaddafi.
The Secret Service is expected to monitor the threats directed at President Obama on Twitter and assess the seriousness of threats directed at the president. He also added that staffers would probably not block offensive Twitter users.
Let me propose an idea for both sides in the poverty debate to consider: the true significance of work is not that it brings “dignity” to the poor, because they don’t consider themselves undignified now, and the welfare state goes to great lengths to reinforce that sense of entitlement instead of humbly accepting temporary charity. Work provides two concrete benefits more important than dignity: value and purpose.
President Obama is defending his military strategy against Islamic State terrorists in an exclusive interview with Atlantic writer Jeffrey Goldberg.
Just two days after Islamic State fighters were supposedly routed and driven into the desert by Syrian government troops, ISIS has reportedly taken the entire city of Palmyra, placing both its population and historical treasures in grave peril.
President Obama has become the star of his own malevolent Marx Brothers movie. As chaos causes by our president’s own depraved indifference breaks out across the globe, like a psychotic Groucho Marx, the big joke is that he’s off somewhere
Obama explained that the United States armed forces would now have to factor in climate change in upcoming missions. “You need to be ready,” he said to the graduates.
“As America’s maritime guardian, you’ve pledged to remain always ready – Semper Paratus – ready for all threats,” Obama said to Coast Guard cadets. “And climate change is one of those most severe threats.”
After trolling everyone on Twitter to get them to reveal their workout routines, Michelle Obama outshines them all, releasing a supercharged workout video highlighting her own five exercises to stay fit.
“Climate change, especially rising seas, is a threat to our homeland security — our economy, infrastructure, and the safety and health of the American people,” President Obama plans to say at the Coast Guard Academy.
No Demoocrat seems willing to commit to much, yet. But if Hillary Clinton survives her scandals, Elizabeth Warren isn’t going to marginalize herself in the party by acting obstinate. She knows Democrat voters will march out for whoever the Party candidate is, whether alleged populist rising stars endorse them or not… but if the Party candidate goes on to defeat, they’ll be looking for scapegoats.
The Obama administration has released a new plan to save the dwindling bee population – as the president is said to be very interested in the growing crisis.
“ISIL will ultimately be defeated in Ramadi and elsewhere in Iraq because we believe the Iraqi forces have the capacity to ultimately take Ramadi with coalition support,” a White House spokesman insists.
President Obama announced his new @POTUS Twitter account this morning, but avid technology enthusiasts were surprised to see him tweet from an iPhone.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is poised to wield enormous influence in the 2016 Republican presidential primary, if he so chooses. Although he expressed a desire to stay neutral earlier this month, Abbott recently seems to be inching closer to exerting his influence, even if he stops short of making an actual endorsement.
