Barack Obama

THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Last December — more than 13 years after our nation was attacked by al Qaeda on 9/11 — America’s combat mission in Afghanistan came to a responsible end. That milestone was achieved thanks to the courage and the skill of our military, our intelligence, and civilian personnel. They served there with extraordinary skill and valor, and it’s worth remembering especially the more than 2,200 American patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan.

President Obama traveled to Jamaica on Thursday and part of his visit included a trip to the Bob Marley Museum.

Was it Hickenlooper or was it Obama? Was it Michael Bennet or was it Harry Reid? Was it Ebola or was it ISIS? Was it the six-year itch or a full-body rash?

Hillary Clinton has made some missteps in her path to the presidency, but none so damaging as her hawkish tendencies when it comes to foreign policy.

Another anti-Obamacare ad posted by Americans for Prosperity has failed to pass even a modicum of scrutiny. Turns out the lady at the center of the ad wasn't hurt by the ACA at all. In fact, her husband's high blood pressure medication was covered under Obama's signature legislation.

The numbers are in, and they unequivocally lead to one conclusion: Obamacare is working. Colorado's uninsured rate has dropped to 11% from the 17% it was before the Affordable Care Act was implemented.

For all the trolling inspired by the boogeyman that is Obamacare, the actual laws and benefits reaped by consumers under the Affordable Care Act are wildly popular. Who would've thought that $2.7 million in rebate checks — just in the state of Colorado — might be something that people want?

President Obama has directed the Labor Department to ensure the Family Medical and Leave Act explicitly applies to same-sex couples, as well as everyone else. Now spouses in same-sex marriages can take unpaid medical leave to take care of their loved ones, without fear of reprisal, even in red states.

Even Fox's Megan Kelly was incredulous about some of the things Dick Cheney was saying about the current crisis in Iraq. Seems the man has forgotten his own culpability in starting the war, and his own mendacity in selling it to the American people.

Obama chooses the middle road in Iraq: the US will send 300 military 'advisors' to a besieged Iraqi government. He discounted more robust options for now, but did not take off the table air strikes to help the faltering Iraqi military.
