Read the White House transcript of the exchange between the Daily Caller reporter and President Obama.
Glenn Beck vows to singlehandedly take down “Glee.”
The Daily Caller says it’s “proud” of reporter Neil Munro for interrupting the President today.
The guy who saw fit to interrupt twice the President’s address in the Rose Garden on his new immigration policy, which was being carried live by the cable nets, was actually a reporter for The Daily Caller named Neil Munro.
Michigan State Rep. Lisa Brown (D), the woman who was silenced by House Republicans for saying ‘vagina’, tells TPM how it all went down.

RNC takes down Latino outreach site that mistakenly featured photos of Asians.
This was a doubly clever move by the Obama administration. Over and above the obvious appeal to a key constituency, the policy here mimics, I assume intentionally, what Republicans claim they want to adopt in a scaled-down version of the DREAM Act. But for Republicans, embracing Obama’s move carries the same risk with their base as rejecting it does with immigrants — the voting bloc they’re most concerned about alienating. A hunch: prepare yourself for a deluge of condemnations of executive-branch overreach, paired with real reluctance to say anything meaningful about what the directive actually accomplishes.
This is big, big news — both in policy and political terms: President Obama is pushing through what amounts to a mini-Dream Act by executive order *.
Late Update: It turns out it’s not technically an ‘executive order’ but rather a ‘DHS directive’; but same difference in as much as it’s a move the administration can make unilaterally.
Ralph Reed isn’t worried that the under-30 set is abandoning God. They’ll be back, he tells TPM. And they’ll become conservatives too.
