But McDonough and the other advisers did not tell Obama, leaving him to learn about the politically perilous results of the internal investigation from news reports more than two weeks later, officials said.

Well I don't believe that and besides where does the buck stop if ever in Washington

Yep, Deal should have seen this coming. Best thing to do is to pull the Bibles and return them to the Gideons. Next week someone will be wanting to drop off some kinda witchcraft pamphlets.

Still wonder why anyone would look in those drawers anyways....it's a park for Christ sake..get out and enjoy what God made.

When finished basic and was getting ready to ship off to Nam someone came to the barracks and dropped off a load of little red bibles from the Gideons. Carried it through 2 tours in swampland. Did it help??? Don't know, but it helped me. No one has the right to tell anyone that reading and believing in the Bible is wrong. nor do they have the right to dictate where it's done and by who. You an atheist don't read it. You would be hard pressed to find someone who gives a sit less than me

That will show those do good Christians !!!!

A hard hit to the chest right at the v of the rib cage can stop a grown man in his tracks. It can also stop the heart.At the very least it will leave him gasping for breath. It's called a heart punch

IRS probe ignored most influential groups.

Oh ya the ones with the most money to buy politicians and the presidency

What's it called??? Purina or Alpo ???

Tallon says no one had injuries that appear life-threatening. He says animal control officers will keep the dogs while their vaccination records are checked.

All ya need is the head for that!!

Let me guess... Pit bulls????

I grew up in Pittsburgh and it was not a bad place. Hated the weather.. Sad that that city was chosen to represent azzhols

For the trust, key goals of the project are to restore the creek’s ecosystem and “really reconnect people with nature, with something positive.”

Nobody has built there because it floods. I have an idea!!! Lets get a bunch of people who care about the earth and the environment to clean it up for free !!! Then the city governments and politicians can bask in the limelight... and spend the money on something more important like a golf course

Hmmm I wonder if he missed work ??? Probably still on extended unemployment benefits

I counted up the pictures of people arrested for different charges Here are the results 2 hispanic 20 white 48 blacks Any message there ??

Lowes and Home Depot hired people to load pine straw

Fecal bacteria common in swimming pools.. and the White House

Spending years of my life in the military I swore an oath of loyalty that included following orders delivered by the Commander and Chief who ever that may be. Truth be told I have had little respect for the last 2 presidents and not a whole lot more for the ones preceding them. Somewhere along the line Washington has quit being " For the people, by the people"..Politics favor the rich at the favor of screwing the middle class. Obama's promise of hope and change was hollow when it was made. Only reason he became president was the claim that he could fix the disaster that Bush allowed to take place. Bottom line is the only people who will pay the bills to get the country back on it's feet are the middle class. Very sad but unfortunately what we have now will not go away and along with it a new normal for the middle class. The rich will continue to get richer

"Americans have a right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it," Obama said of the IRS actions. "I will not tolerate this kind of behavior at any agency, but especially at the IRS given the power that it has and the reach that it has into all of our lives."

Why do I have the feeling his comments are bullsit ??

"Arthur Boggs and his family — wife Pamela and sons Trey and Bryan — bought the J&J Flea Market from Jerry Farmer in September 2007."

The owners certainly had knowledge of what was going on and could have pulled the plug anytime they wanted. Seems to me they also should be liable. There is also the possibility they were being " compensated " to overlook the situation. Boggs always struck me as pretty arrogant and his family no better.

Maybe they can manage the homeless camps like they do the woods and every so often have a controlled burn to clear out excess combustible material.

You hit someone riding a bike or walking is bad. Running from the scene very bad. Up to me you would do serious jail time and walk or ride a bike the rest of your life cause you will never have a license again. I would also impound any savings or personal property to pay damages to the victims family. This sort of thing needs to stop. It's happened right here in Athens !!!

They should charge the fat guy red faced guy that runs the place. He was the one who was making the real money renting the spaces and he dam well knew what was going on. Probably getting a kick back !!!

On the other hand with all the bribes and cash under the table they probably will not miss it.

Given the mentality of politicians and an excuse to drink themselves into a stupor I would say this is a great loss..Party in the " presidents" box Yipee

Lets see if I read this right. First we have a shortage of natural gas and the price goes up. Then we have a glut so energy companies sell it across the pond because they can get more there until we have a shortage again and the price goes up again here.

Makes sense I guess to the energy companies

Either way the American people get screwed

People like this guy fly just below the radar of the law. Makes them very hard to catch. Need to be fairly intelligent to pull that off. He deserves the worst but how he kept that quiet that long I don't think any one will ever know for sure. Hope they burn him

@PlanningParty: No kidding. I bought a 2003 Nissan XTerra years ago specifically because it had the old school 4x4 transfer case with a manual shifter not electronic push-button. I have had no trouble with it in 10 years. My mom had a 1993 Cherokee with the old transfer case and had no problems either. I wish that car makers would figure out that simpler is usually better.
