"Obama strategy to foil daughters with tattoo
WASHINGTON — President Obama has a strategy to discourage his daughters from rebelling, perhaps by getting a tattoo himself.
Obama said he and his wife, Michelle, have told Malia, 14, and Sasha, 11, that if they ever decide to get a tattoo then ‘‘mommy and me’’ will get the same tattoo in the same place on their bodies and show it off on YouTube as a ‘‘family tattoo.’’
Obama commented in an interview taped last week and broadcast Wednesday on NBC’s ‘‘Today.’’

"The most obvious lesson here to be learned is that - quite apart from any other reasons (of which there are many) - Jews
seek to set about promoting multicultural societies where people are
encouraged to dress and adorn themselves absurdly and buy into bodily
self-mutilation in the form of piercings and hideous tattoos, so as to form a loud and chaotic backdrop behind which the Jew is less readily ."
That explains this leading the Metro section of the Mossad War Daily, and the encouragement by society of asserting independence!!!
Not found on the website, but on the back page in the Names section. Must be a real important story:
"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has a strategy to discourage his daughters from rebelling, perhaps by getting a tattoo himself. Obama says he and his wife, Michelle, have told 14-year-old Malia and 11-year-old Sasha that if they ever decide to get a tattoo then "mommy and me" will get the same tattoo in the same place on their bodies and show it off on YouTube as a "family tattoo." Obama commented in an interview taped last week and broadcast Wednesday on NBC's "Today." The president also dismissed the first lady's recent reference to herself as a single mom during a separate television interview. Obama suggested the comment was a slip of the tongue. But he also acknowledged there have been times in his political career when she probably did feel like a single parent."
I don't want to do the psychoanalysis of him and his f***-ed up family life. Just stop dropping the drone missiles on innocent people.
"House GOP cancels vote on patient program bailout
WASHINGTON — An effort by House Republicans to highlight problems with President Obama’s health care law by bailing out a program for people with preexisting medical conditions appeared to backfire on Wednesday.
That's what happens to everything to which this government puts its hand.
GOP leaders postponed a scheduled vote after the measure met strong opposition from two directions: from conservative groups resistant to any federal role in health care and from Democrats who objected that the Republicans planned to pay for the high-risk patient program by raiding a disease prevention provision the administration says is essential to the overhaul.
The legislation, a departure from the usual GOP efforts to kill the Affordable Health Care Act outright, also faced a White House veto threat.
It's called wasting time to make it look like they are earning the taxpayer-funded $alary.
Erica Elliott, spokeswoman for Republican whip Kevin McCarthy of California, said in a statement, ‘‘We had good conversations with our members and made a lot of solid progress’’ on the bill. But she said there was ‘‘still work to do,’’ and with members leaving for the George W. Bush Presidential Library dedication, ‘‘we’ll continue the conversations’’ when the House returns in May after a recess next week....
Hey, there are priorities.

I'm sure the Globe will have an article about it tomorrow. This self-contained, self-worshipping crap is what is passing for news now.

At least they are looking out for Labor:
"Senate delays confirmation vote for Labor secretary" April 25, 2013
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats have delayed a confirmation vote on Labor secretary-nominee Thomas Perez....
Committee chairman Tom Harkin of Iowa said he was concerned that Republicans would use the separate hearing as a forum to attack Perez in his absence. Harkin canceled the hearing on federal whistle-blower laws, which also was set for Thursday.

See why he's leaving?
Republicans have criticized Perez for declining to intervene in a whistle-blower case against the city of St. Paul while he headed the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. Perez made the decision as part of a deal in which St. Paul agreed to withdraw another case from the Supreme Court that could have threatened the Justice Department’s strategy in bringing housing discrimination cases.
Republicans claim Perez made the deal based on political ideology and not the merits of the whistle-blower case, which could have won nearly $200 million for taxpayers. Perez has said the deal was in the best interest of the nation.
Republicans had asked Harkin earlier this week to postpone the vote on Perez, saying they needed more time to examine the deal. Harkin refused the request but changed his mind. The shift occurred after Republicans planned to have the plaintiff in the whistle-blower case, Frederick Newell, testify at a hearing about weaknesses in whistle-blower laws at the Occupational Safety and Health Commission."
