The Obama version of judicial activism


The gall. The temerity. Obviously the man fully believes that his media complicit spin meisters will craft his take into the reality that he is attempting to portray. I sincerely hope that there are a great many Americans who can readily see right through this vain attempt to cast disparaging remarks at the opposition while once again blatantly ignoring the truth and the facts.

From here it looks like he takes shots at the supremes every time they rule against him. So, let's just hope when the next state of the union address rolls around, he won't be giving it.

Obama takes a shot at Supreme Court over healthcare

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama took an opening shot at conservative justices on the Supreme Court on Monday, warning that a rejection of his sweeping healthcare law would be an act of "judicial activism" that Republicans say they abhor.
Obama, a Democrat, had not commented publicly on the Supreme Court's deliberations since it heard arguments for and against the healthcare law last week.
Known as the "Affordable Care Act" or "Obamacare," the measure to expand health insurance for millions of Americans is considered Obama's signature domestic policy achievement.
A rejection by the court would be a big blow to Obama going into the November 6 presidential election.
Republican presidential candidates, who are vying to take on Obama in November elections, have promised to repeal the law if one of them wins the White House.

Well, shucks, last year he rebuked them publicly in front of congress and the world for a decision they had made. What's a little shot across the bow?

Wish I could roll my eyes like my daughter can.
