DC Tom Posted June 26, 2016 Posted June 26, 2016 Neil Eggleston, counsel to the president, blasted the committee for sending the president a list of questions about the attack — an inquiry the administration deemed inappropriate and a partisan attempt to frame the White House as uncooperative. Eggleston has encouraged Obama not to answer the committee’s questions “because of the implications of his response on the constitutional separation of powers,” according to a letter sent Saturday to Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) and obtained by POLITICO. Holy ****...really? Somebody decided that made sense?
B-Man Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 MARKETS, HOW DO THEY WORK ? Three Amigos “call for action to address excess global steel supply.” In statements released as the summit began, the three countries announced the Nafta rule-of-origin changes will affect pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, rubber, metals, industrial and electrical machinery, precision instruments and natural gas. On steel, the countries “agree on the need for governments of all major steel-producing countries to make strong and immediate commitments to address the problem of global excess steelmaking capacity,” a statement from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office said. I suppose prices could be allowed to fall until inefficient producers are forced out, but that would eliminate channels for cronyism and graft. https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/237473/

reddogblitz Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) Big surprise. When he announced last year that he wasn't going to remove 1/2 the troops like he said he would, but would bring them all back next year, I knew this was going to happen. Hillary won't be getting us out of there. She had never seen a war she didn't like. Edited July 7, 2016 by reddogblitz

B-Man Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE UPDATE: Obama approves 30-day airstrike mission against ISIS in Libya. I’m old enough to remember when it was Congress that authorized the use of force.
DC Tom Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE UPDATE: Obama approves 30-day airstrike mission against ISIS in Libya. I’m old enough to remember when it was Congress that authorized the use of force. War Powers Act. That, and the president is CINC of the armed forces, and can order them around without consulting Congress. You can thank Teddy Roosevelt and the Great White Fleet for demonstrating that last.

Doc Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Saw a press conference with Barry in Singapore today. I chuckled when he said that Singapore "punches above its weight."
IDBillzFan Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 WSJ is reporting tonight that Barry gave Iran $400M to release the four hostages in January. WH apparently insists is wasn't a paid ransom. It was just oddly timed $400M handed to a friend...or something.

DC Tom Posted August 3, 2016 Posted August 3, 2016 Wooden pallets stacked with euros, Swiss francs and other currencies were flown on unmarked cargo plane... So the administration claims that in 36 hours, the nuclear deal was implemented, the prisoners were released, and cash was transferred to start paying off an existing liability that the Hague decided on...and these three things are completely independent of each other?
