Obama’s EPA “If you like your hot shower, you can keep your hot shower” [Darleen Click]
“We just want to monitor it. For now.” Next time you’re enjoying a hot shower, don’t. The Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to crack down on shower sneaks.

Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett leaked to the press details of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail address during her time
