Updated June 20:
It was a campaign stunt wrapped in an insult. The Chief Executive heckled Congress’ rejection of the Dream Act by unilaterally imposing his own Dream Act. He used a press conference to make his pronouncement. Rich Lowry says Obama has “claimed powers that literally once belonged to kings”.
This was too much for Daily Caller’s Neil Munro who had the unprecedented bad taste to heckle the president with a rude question before he was finished.
Daily Caller editor Tucker Carlson defends his reporter here and Dana Milbank rebukes his friend, Carlson, here.
Actually, this isn’t the first time a president was interrupted by a reporter. I was there in 1987 when Sam Donaldson did it as Ronald Reagan spoke to a bunch of cartoonists in the Rose Garden!
Fast Forward
Thirty-five minutes into the president Obama’s campaign reset speech, Mathew Continetti “wanted to tell the president, as the Dude famously screams at Walter Sobchak in The Big Lebowski, ‘You’re living in the past!'”
Seizure
The Secretary of Commerce suffered a seizure and was involved in 3 hit and run crashes. Dana Milbank reports on the “pileup” at the White House.
Education Bubble
Students and their parents are nearly a trillion dollars in hock over college tuition according to the WSJ.
