President Barack Obama taught everyone a little lesson about racist Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy during the 2014 White House Correspondents' Dinner.
Obama was touting the success of Olympic snowboarder Jamie Anderson, who was in attendance at the dinner, saying he hadn't "seen someone pull a 180 that fast until Rand Paul disinvited that Nevada rancher from this dinner."
"As a general rule, things don't end well if the sentence starts with, 'Let me tell you something about the Negro,'" Obama said. "You don't really need to know the rest of it, just a tip for you."

Fox News is gonna miss him - they'll have a more difficult time convincing people Hillary is from Kenya.

(4,835 posts)I think it was the best speech I've ever seen him give. He was relaxed, funny and seemed very likable and human.

If you owe fines or back taxes you simply need a small armed militia to be able to ignore them completely.

(7,759 posts)had gone in guns blazing... We and they all know that the Fed could take them out in a matter of minutes. What is happening now is classic...turning on themselves...show to be anti-American, anti-government, moochers, liars and racists and bigots. Since they don't recognize the Federal government, I think stopping all Federal payments and benefits of any kind to everyone out there at the checkpoint would be ok with a lot of folks.
