President Obama called in photographers to take photos of him meeting with Joe Biden. They’re photos Joe can use in the Democratic primaries in two years. In an effort to appear more presidential, Joe Biden is launching a website that doesn’t work.

Robert Gates’ new book says that President Obama didn’t believe in his own Afghan strategy. Veterans are outraged. President Obama reacted fast and ordered his press secretary to change the subject back to the problems everybody’s having with Obamacare.

The White House fired Obamacare website designer CGI Federal and hired Accenture to fix the website. Enrolling has been a nightmare. Some people say they had to sit at the computer for nine straight hours, breaking the old record set by Anthony Weiner.

Governor Chris Christie held a two-hour news conference where he denied wrongdoing on the bridge closures. He fired people whose e-mails implicated them. He insisted that he’s not a bully, and he threatened to beat up any reporter who says otherwise.

President Obama tried to improve the lives of unemployed people by creating Promise Zones. It’s already better. Millions of Americans who live on unemployment used to dream that someday they’d make as much money as Alex Rodriguez, and now they do.

USA Today reports a bank robbery was foiled in Arizona last week due to a spectacular foul-up. The bank teller couldn’t read the terrible handwriting in the robber’s hold-up note. It’s just terrible what happens to doctors after Obamacare pushes them out of business.

The White House website published the recipe for President Obama’s home-brewed beer, which he brews himself in the president’s living quarters. That’s how bad the economy is. Not only is our president drinking, he’s drinking beer he made in his bathtub.

The FBI said it found no lawbreaking in the IRS’s targeting of the Tea Party. Last summer the IRS admitted it was targeting conservative groups. President Obama called it an outrageous practice and said he’d immediately have his Benghazi investigators look into it.

The FBI’s investigation concluded that the IRS did not target opposition groups during the last election. It only added to public cynicism. Will Rogers once joked that Americans have the best government money can buy, then he died in a mysterious plane crash in Alaska.

Iran claimed victory over the West when they revealed a secret paragraph in last month’s deal that allows Iran to continue upgrading their centrifuges. They’re playing with fire. President Obama doesn’t need to send cruise missiles to destroy Iran, he just needs to send them his economic advisors, and within a week the country will be on its knees.

The Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning will host the New England Patriots and Tom Brady on Sunday for the AFC title in Denver. The local fans are the most hospitable in the league. When people in Colorado say hi to each other, it’s no longer a greeting, it’s a question.

The Washington Times reported that Medicare overpaid sixty-four million dollars for erection pumps which the federal program provides for male senior recipients. The White House pointed out this is not a feature of Obama Care. It’s Clinton Care if it’s anything.

Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters in Rome Tuesday that President Obama is planning to come to the Vatican to meet with Pope Francis this year. It’s important that the president and the pope talk things out. Neither one likes the other’s holier-than-thou attitude.
