I wanted to translate this for fun.

White House spokesman Nick Shapiro on Wednesday reiterated Obama's stance that "federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws."

(Means exactly what it says, not a whole lot. Depends on what the definition of is is. Depends what you mean by circumventing state laws.)

"And as he continues to appoint senior leadership to fill out the ranks of the federal government, he expects them to review their policies with that in mind," Shapiro said.

(This is called lip service, to appease a fringe group in his party. They are going to review, REVIEW, "REVIEW" the policies with what in mind? Oh yeah, don't circumvent state laws. Right. I am sure our democratic big government congress and senate will really help hold his feet to the fire on that too! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT SHIT! LMFAO!!!)

Nothing that this guy says matters anymore than anything you or I say, he is just a guy, he does not determine or influence federal policy. They might as well got fucking Rusty Trichome to give a statement, no offense Rusty, just trying to point out that this is just a normal guy like you or I. Er uh I guess.:jointsmile:

The jist of it.
Expect nothing, cause that is what we are getting for the foreseeable (sp) future.
You never know though,
maybe,
if you "hope" hard enough......:thumbsup:
