In 2008, Presidential Candidate Barack Obama railed against George W. Bush for usurping Congress’ power.

Here’s what Obama said in 2008:

“I taught constitutional law for ten years. I take the Constitution very seriously. The biggest problems that were facing right now have to do with George Bush trying to bring more and more power into the executive branch and not go through Congress at all, and that’s what I intend to reverse when I’m President of the United States of America.”

As President of the Unites States, here’s what Obama said as he opened his first cabinet meeting of 2014:

“One of the things that I’ll be emphasizing in this [cabinet] meeting is the fact that we are not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need. I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone. I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.”

A GoPro camera was found on a woman’s property. She picked it up, took it into her house and viewed it. She estimates the camera was lying on her property for eight months before she discovered it. She laughed so hard while watching the last images on the video, that she uploaded it to the internet. Unfortunately, the video location has not been identified. The set-up appears to be that someone was holding the camera in a skydiving plane.. and then they dropped it. Now take a look at what happens when the camera hits the ground below.

Someone spent a lot of time editing the actual words of President Obama. However, his words were never spoken in this order!

Republican Neel Kashkari has entered the race for California’s Governor. The only other Republican running is Tim Donnely.

Although widely anticipated, Governor Jerry Brown has not yet announced a run for re-election. This means as of today, there are no Democrats in the race for Governor.

As a reporter from WWSB-TV in Florida was setting up his equipment to cover a story, an angry woman decided to grab his tripod and then jump into the television news vehicle and drive it away from the area. It was all caught on camera.

Malcolm Smith of the Seattle Seahawks was named the Super Bowl MVP. During a post-game press conference, a 9/11 “truther” decided to take over Smith’s microphone. Where was security and how did this guy get into the press room?

Following President Obama’s State of the Union address, Rep. Michael Grimm, a Republican from New York City’s Staten Island, was asked for his thoughts by reporter Michael Scotto.

After Grimm finished answering, Scotto added, “And just finally before we let you go, since we have you here: We haven’t had a chance to kind of talk about some of the…”

“I’m not speaking about anything that’s off-topic,” Grimm interrupted. “This is only about the president’s speech tonight. Thank you.”

Grimm then walked away, and Scotto said, “So Congressman Michael Grimm does not want to talk about some of the allegations concerning his campaign finances. We wanted to get him on camera on that but he, as you saw, refused to talk about that. Back to you.”

With the camera still rolling, Scotto suddenly looks up, clearly startled.

“What?” Scotto asks.

And Grimm, again on-camera, though off-mike, can be heard speaking to Scotto in a low voice.

Grimm says, “Let me be clear to you, you ever do that to me again I’ll throw you off this f&^%%ing balcony.”

“Why?” Scotto says. “I just wanted to ask you…”

In muffled cross-talk, Grimm is heard again saying, “If you ever do that to me again…”

“Why? Why?” Scotto asks. “It’s a valid question.”

After more cross-talk, Grimm says, “No, no, you’re not man enough, you’re not man enough. I’ll break you in half. Like a boy.”

Grimm then walks away.

House Speaker John Boehner, the most powerful Republican in the country, tells Jay Leno hat he has no interest in wanting to be the President of the United States. The reasons given is that he smokes cigarettes, drinks red wine and plays golf. Presidents Bush and Obama have proved that you don’t have to give up golf in order to be President. President Obama also spent at least the first year of his Presidency smoking cigarettes. And after President Obama’s well-touted “beer summit”, we are certain that Boehner wouldn’t have to give up his alcoholic beverages. Perhaps the House Speaker is deflecting anticipation that the Republican Party will ask him to run as a candidate for President of the USA.

Most people celebrate capitalism. There’s nothing wrong with that. However, this gentleman creates an awkward moment of television. The set-up was that according to Oxfam, the wealth of the 85 richest people in the world is equal to the wealth of the 3.5 billion poorest…

House Minority Speaker Nancy Pelosi is a huge 49ers fan. So much so that she says she’s wearing a bracelet with Joe Montana’s jersey #14. Interesting. He wore #16. She also likes the current 49er quarterback with his “big arms and tattoos”. We are not sure if she knows his name. She says the 49ers will be playing the Washingtonian.. uhh.. Red.. Seahawks. She talks about having a chocolate bet with the “members from Washington state” and looks forward to enjoying chicken chakalaka from North Carolina during the game. She informs us that whoever has the most numbers at the end of the game is the winner. She says sports is fun because “it knows that it is not political”. Then she says the game is sad because “our stadium down is being shut down” and talks about the new stadiums for the SF Giants and the 49ers.
