Facts are Fact, the Republican party is and has been doing every thing they can to undermine this President. Did you know that the Republicans voted and turned down the request for additional security and in fact they Voted to CUT $300 million from the US embassies security budget ? Do you have a problem with that ? Its a lot of false reporting of twisted fact and twisting words to get an answer they want. Damn the facts

Searching and making facts up as you go along .. its a witch hunt .. plain and simple .. Republicans and FOX {Fake} News making a story where there is None .. This is an interesting link to some Facts .. About a Story that is NOT a story ..

We need to know the Truth the REPUBLICANS say .. Yet THEY did not feel the need to know anything about this mans actions .. I wonder if it was due to the fact he was a white man in the White House. It never ends .. they still can not believe a Black man is occupying that building. Not to worry . they will spend millions to try to tarnish him .. Yes they have time or no money to help the citizens of this country .. but fear not . they will get to that sooner or later .. more like later, when "HE" leaves office .

My Point was the 2 were republican presidents .. Clinton last I looked was a Dem... Point being . where was the out cry when Republicans were in the same situation and the point being it was an attack .. not a planned event . details .. well they all depend on how you ask a question to get the response you want .. propaganda is used on all sides .. but this is just a waste of money they claim we dont have for social needs but for political needs the pockets are deep ..

Republicans are not doing this for any real reason other than political shock value. And I think this is going to back fire on them again . They need to move on and STOP the wasting of millions of dollars on this crap .. They should have been working on getting this county back on its feet . not trying to shut down every thing the "Black" president has been trying to do and I might add getting a lot done despite the republican road blocks .. one after another .. No Real Republican Ideas other than to Block and Bash what ever they could to Stop the white house.. Talk about Un American .. The Republican party .. follow the money ..

Here is my version of a fix .

You are a smart man, figure it out. They say that some times a picture is worth a 1000 words . I just saved you from all that reading ..

I love how someone who HAS insurance will bitch about the ACA .. You had $300,000 in bills and only have to pay 10% .. $ 30,000 and you think that's OK ? Imagine that you needed Health Insurance and you had a Preexisting condition and you can't get insurance you an afford . or you hit your coverage maximum .. Is it like the Republican's version of "sucks to be poor and you" ?

Who pays for that Hospital Bill then ? I remember Romney saying in a debate "you just go to the Emergency room that is free if you can not afford to pay" .. Well that's not True .. SOME ONE is paying ..

The Republicans should be ashamed of how they not only tried to kill the ACA but how they failed to offer a reasonable alternative to it .. I love when the people who need it most are fed lies and misinformation and believe the propaganda .. just as the immigration smoke screen comments ... But the people who have the most and do not want to take care of the "working poor" will yell the loudest and spent millions to tell you how bad it is for you ... .
You have health care Great, then use it. The ACA then does not directly interfere with your health coverage.

Problem with the Cherry Blossoms is that they are very susceptible to the weather. I normally go the weekend of the Band Events and Fire Works show help on the Potomac River. This year was a timing match with the peak bloom, April 4th weekend. Then the cold snap and the official Peak Bloom is now another week out. But I will tell you that even when not at max bloom, it is still a pretty site to behold.
