Regarding president obama should he be labeled correctly that he is not calling the terrorists islamic terrorist . I like what seth myers said about this. This is and hogwarts and president obama is not harry potter. Calling it islamic terrorism doesnt make it go away. The president s argument is isis sees itself as representation of all muslims which is absurd and by calling them islamic terrorists we are just feeding that isis narrative. That is a pretty good argument. However, isis is muslim for the simple fact they call themselves muslim but just because isis is muslim doesnt mean islam is isis. That is where we get tripped up. To say that these actions which are so beyond the pale of anything that could conceivably be called normative islam, that they have anything to do with representing the ideas, views, actions, thoughts of the worlds 1. 6 billion muslims is ridiculous.

When republicans seize control of the senate and expanded majority in the house in november after four years of divided government in capitol hill, the partys leadership made a few promises. No longer would they be the party of no and no longer would we see governoring crisis to crisis. If this week is any indication they failed. Speaker john boehner was embarrassed when he went down in defeat after republicans angry over the immigration policy voted against the speaker.
