	Obama Returns From Vacation President Obama is taking a break from his luxurious vacation at Martha's Vineyard, returning to Washington for high-level, unspecified meetings. It's not hard to pick a topic of concern whether it be the continuing tensions in Ferguson, Missouri or the humanitarian crisis in Iraq. Attorney General Eric Holder is supposed to brief the president on the latest from Ferguson, Missouri.

Outrageous: Rob Reiner
In a rant on Politicking with Larry King, liberal Hollywood director Rob Reiner went on a rant about the Tea Party. He compared the Tea Party to Hamas and the inability to negotiate with extremists.

This type of rhetoric won't get us anywhere in this country, so long as liberals like Rob Reiner are unwilling to try and understand the concerns of Tea Party conservatives.
