President Obama is right with his comments about Kamala Harris--everyone else, get over it!

This is why I like President Obama:

"You have to be careful to, first of all, say she is brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law, and making sure that everybody is getting a fair shake," Obama said.

He added: "She also happens to be by far the best-looking attorney general in the country -- Kamala Harris is here. It's true. Come on. And she is a great friend and has just been a great supporter for many, many years."

So the left is outrages.

I'm a leftist. I'm a liberal.

And there is nothing wrong with what he said.

He was not wrong--he made someone very happy and the attorney general actually glows from his compliments.

And he apologized--and I do not understand that at all because everyone wants to be told what he told Kamala Harris--and you know it's true--even you men: if someone said that about your wife and she was next to you, you would turn into a rooster.

By the way, Michelle is knock dead gorgeous--and I'm never going to apologize for that statement.

Paul Ryan and How He Subverts Our Nation

Below are two emails I received about Paul Ryan. Make up your own mind, but I know you know my mind is already made up:

BREAKING Washington Post: Paul Ryan will propose “sharp new cuts to federal health and retirement programs”


Paul Ryan’s new budget proposal hands tax breaks to the Republicans’ largest corporate backers and billionaire CEO funders, and makes crippling cuts to Medicare to pay for it.

John Boehner, Eric Cantor, and Paul Ryan would rather protect tax loopholes so their oil-tycoon financiers can buy yachts and private jets than provide health care for the elderly.

Denounce Paul Ryan’s appalling budget immediately! Demand Republicans stop handing tax breaks to their billionaire financiers while the elderly suffer the consequences.

House Republicans will do anything to buy loyalty from the largest corporations and moneyed special interests. They’re even willing to throw seniors and the middle class under the bus so that their billionaire financiers can enjoy tax breaks.

Thanks for your support,

AND

Paul Ryan, in an effort to downplay the severity of the House budget he’ll be presenting next week, says not to "expect any big surprises." What a relief -- no big surprises?!?

Actually, word is we can expect a few big surprises in Ryan's budget.

Reports say that Paul Ryan will call for ending Medicare as we know it for America’s seniors.

According to sources, Ryan’s budget includes a plan to VOUCHERIZE Medicare for seniors younger than 55.

Finally, Ryan wants to squeeze 30 years of vicious cuts into only a decade. That would be brutal.

Ryan’s Tea Party budget would do more than “surprise” the millions of Americans who are counting on Medicare. We can’t let that happen.

Help us reach 200,000 strong calling out Paul Ryan and House Republicans:

Shame on the Republicans

Victory! The House has finally passed the Senate version of the Violence Against Women Act, by a vote of 286 to 138 — with all 138 votes against the bill coming from Republicans.


Now we need to make it clear to those Republicans that their continued stance against this domestic violence prevention bill — even after it was clearly going to pass — is wrong and shameful.
