potus needs to grow a spine and sign the executive order.

Like many of the "activists", you seem all to ready to let Congress off the hook. I remember in the bad old days when Bush was roundly criticized here for governing through signing statements & executive orders, to get around Congress. I'm absolutely gobsmacked at the number of instances where "liberals" are calling on this POTUS to "issue an executive order" when the issue affects them personally.

They wont work with the President when it comes to this. Sign an executive order and make sure we keep the White House and take control of congress.


You probably would have whined when Truman used an executive order to desegregate the military or Johnson used an executive order for affirmative action.

All gays to the back of the bus, don't upset the apple cart, take what your given and be grateful.

Silly me for thinking Obama would be a great President like Truman or Johnson.

PBO. I'm just sayin' .. he has a spine so that has nothing to do with what's going on now.

Has done more for THE WHOLE COUNTRY than President Obama.

I hadn't seen this.

My opinion of her and her tactics has fallen even lower.

Also, good for Code Pink for backtracking their early tweets and properly smacking down her rudeness.

She has hurt her cause by essentially setting fire to a bridge to someone that was willing to help the cause. Getting the whole pie at the same time usually doesn't happen. Obama will likely be the better person just like his wife by not punishing their group.

Should we also proclaim that the First Lady triumphed over civil disobedience?

Not a very smart approach.

You may not like that she was targeted; but she is not above or beyond deserving a heckle from one of the commoners or little people. She may be First Lady; but she is no better than you or me.

And had their ass handed to them for being rude little shits who are doing NOTHING for a good cause with such childish behavior.

MO does not set policy.

But hey, stupid isn't illegal.

speaking about Inner City Kids or leave.

is the refusal to follow unjust laws. This was not civil disobedience - it was pure rudeness.

Did Gandhi yell at non-elected figures? Did King? You elevate what this woman did far beyond what it deserves. She was a loudmouthed jerk who did nothing to assist her cause.

Every public or even semi-public appearance by notable people should not be a free-for-all for self-aggrandizing assholes to hijack the occasion.

It required unbelievable amounts of dignity and inner strength for people in the civil rights movement to NOT scream or fight back. Of that I am sure.

They exposed how cruel and unjust the system was.

They showed that no one can take away your dignity.

You have to give that away yourself.

This woman is talking about contractors. I'm thinking this might need to have its own law because if it was just that simple Obama would've done it already.

They're IMPORTANT people!!

"I believe in vigorous debate and fighting with all the passion we have for the issues that matter. And that is not possible when we are selfish, self-appointed arbiters of what the person in the front of the room with the microphone ought to be talking about. There is plenty to be pissed off about in this world. I’m in the Yes to Equal Rights, No to Rape camp too. I think that Rick Santorum actually looks better covered in a sparkly dusting of glitter. But the moment we play the “I just couldn’t help myself ” card we shut down meaningful conversation. Yelling at someone is not “interaction.” Sure, we get noticed, but it’s easy to get noticed. A no-nonsense mom like Michelle Obama could tell you that any 2-year-old in a WalMart can get noticed just by throwing herself on the floor of the sporting goods aisle. That doesn’t mean anybody is going to take her seriously."

Those who support her and her obnoxious behavior should realize that and stop running around calling people bigots.

who interrupt First Ladies speeches and is going to have hearings on the Michelle Obama scandal early next week. He invited GOProud to represent victims of Michelle Obama's uppity back talk.

I have been to uncountable
political events, and IMO most
'spontaneous floor demonstrations'
are kinda fishy.

just my 2 cents

Isn't different than any other firat lady....she isn't the first or the last.

The differences in the way the POTUS and the FLOTUS reacted to the protesters speaks volumes.

She's MICHELLE OBAMA, wife of PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. She's different in the fact that she's the wife of the Best. President. Ever.

You aren't serious , are you? ???????

He is our guy but in no way is he perfect....and the status of best ever is for history to decide.

As far as history goes, up until this point there hasn't been any leader near as close to being smart, dedicated, and cool as PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. I have his back. We all need to have his back.

She'll get more attention than she ever ever wanted.
