Gun Props
The president used children as props while he signed 23 executive orders aimed at controlling guns.

Obviously, the president’s family deserves special protection but White House spokesman Carney took offense that the Obama girls were being “used as pawns in a political fight”.
That’s a job for somebody else’s children. Each of whom has a $50,000 share of the national debt.
Fiscal Sacrifice
The president came to Washington, demanded shared sacrifice, got his fiscal cliff deal and returned to Hawaii. According to Bloomberg taxes will go up for 77.1 percent of American families. The Congressional Budget Office says the deal will cost $4 trillion over the next decade. Spending cuts? … Maybe later. Kevin O’brien has a nice rant about that here.

Federal judge Gladys Kessler last week ordered tobacco companies to admit, on every pack of cigarettes, that they deceived the public and caused death with their product.
Populist Pipes
The Republicans have been suffering an identity crisis. Mike Flynn of Breitbart identifies them as the party of slightly less tax hikes.
