1. What else can he do? He works for a lunatic who hates democracy.

Obama was one of the greatest and most respected presidents ever.

This drives them crazy.

This is a fucking Russian coup, still waiting to see people talk about that.???

2. Was I hallucinating, or did I hear Spicer saying that recent protests have been paid for and

Tea Party protests were grassroots?
I thought that was what he said yesterday.

Talk about FAKE news!

3. I missed where President Obama called

Justices Roberts, Scalia, Thomas, Alito, and Kennedy "so called judges". He may have thought it, but he did not say it.

Here is Obama's response to the Citizen's United decision.

Our democracy works best when everyone’s voice is heard, and no one’s voice is drowned out. But five years ago, a Supreme Court ruling allowed big companies – including foreign corporations – to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence our elections. The Citizens United decision was wrong, and it has caused real harm to our democracy. With each new campaign season, this dark money floods our airwaves with more and more political ads that pull our politics into the gutter. It’s time to reverse this trend. Rather than bolster the power of lobbyists and special interests, Washington should lift up the voices of ordinary Americans and protect their democratic right to determine the direction of the country that we love.
