Obama: Takes It Right To Congress

President Obama went right into the pitfire to deal with the topic that is weighing heavily on the American people, JOBS, among other things. Many presidents usually start their campaigns for re-election on a trail somewhere or perhaps from the Oval office but not this president. He stood at the center of Congress and addressed them face to face.

Check out some of the highlights of his speech below:

I think he wants Congress to, PASS THIS JOBS BILL!

Throwback To The President That Is Obama

Here is a little funny clip Jay Leno "recreated" of President Obama shaking hands, with some flava, at the 2010 Correspondents' Dinner.

If anyone feels this is racist since a "white" comedian came up with the bit, comment below... GO THE HELL OFF or not if it's all good.

The Debt Ceiling, Hopefully No Longer Crumbling

President Obama and the Congressional folks have hopefully finally cut a deal to prevent the U.S. going into default. This deal will also immediately cut some spending now and more in the future by "super Congress." If they're trying to market themselves as superheroes, I ain't buying.

The first initial cuts would equal $917 billion over ten years which will permit the Pres to raise the debt cap by $900 billion, which is now at $14.3 trillion bucks. No word on why House Speaker John Boehner told his peeps that figure during his presentation as the Dems said the figure for the first cuts is closer to a trillion.

The next set of cuts for $1.5 trillion, would be decided by an evenly divided committee of 12 lawmaker dudes between the two parties. These cuts would need to be shown by Thanksgiving. Let's hope the spirit of the holiday puts these suits in a festive mood.

Some peeps feel President Obama got one victory out of this and that is the second round of cuts don't go into effect until 2013. This is when Bush's expire. This will in turn have a new round of deficit reduction that is all cuts with no revenues. Which means this will give the White House what it was unable to do last year. It will give the White House a leg to stand on in ending tax cuts on the rich.

However President Obama is not too happy with this super committee of 12 lawmakers as he feels all cuts should have been accomplished. In other words, why wait, let's get to it! White House officials also say there will be no unemployment extensions in the final package of this deal. Obama's administration had protested an extension be apart of the deal when negotiating with Boehner. However when those talks crumbled, unfortunately so did the unemployment insurance. According to HuffPost Politics, a Sr. aide in Obama's camp claims the President will continue to fight for the extension in the months to come.

Fox "Not Tweeting Correct" News

Monday, Fox News (which ain't all that foxy) claims their twitter account was hacked, as reported by ABC News. According to this conservative network, when this hacking occurred yesterday morning, 6 tweets were tweeted from their political twitter account saying, President Obama had been assassinated in Iowa. Of course this is untrue as President Obama was celebrating America's BDay in Washington. FoxNews.com did alert the Secret Service (Duh what else are they going to do? Sit there like nothing happened? Now that would be extremely suspicious.) regarding this hacking issue that took place on the 4th of July and they are investigating the crazy debacle.

Fox News Digital VP and GM, Jeff Misenti's, written statement reads: "We will be requesting a detailed investigation from Twitter about how this occurred, and measures to prevent future unauthorized access into FoxNews.com accounts."

I hope we find the culprit(s) STAT! Curious if they are starting at Fox...

Jon Stewart Responds to Mark Halperin

Yesterday MSNBC political analyst, Mark Halperin, was suspended indefinitely for calling President Obama a male part. For that entire story, click here. Click video to hear what Stewart has to say.

Mark Halperin Gets All Dickey And Stuff... With The President

This dick, Mark Halperin a political analyst for MSNBC, called the President "a dick" regarding his demeanor during Wednesday's press conference, on the "Morning Joe" show Thursday morning. He then faked sincerity with an apology. Apparently it was not enough according to his bosses over at MSNBC, as Halperin is suspended indefinitely.

Before that apology however, Halperin asked if the show (Morning Joe) was on a 7 second delay which gives producers time to push a button that edits offensive remarks. The show was on delay but the producer pushed the wrong button causing the comment to be aired. Halperin's facial expression is classic once he hears this news. Therefore, that is why Halperin rushed to apologize.

MSNBC and obviously Halperin have apologized to the President and Halperin believes he should not be in trouble at all.

Security Breach For President Obama

MSNBC reports blueprints for Marine One, the President's helicopter, was found at an Iran IP address.

In short, Tiversa, a peer to peer technology company who specialize in sharing networks discovered a security breach when they noticed info (engineering/communications) about Marine One at an Iran IP address. Tiversa was able to trace the original designation back to a defense contractor in Maryland. It seems somebody downloaded one of those sharing programs where you are able to share music, etc which also contained the blueprints to Marine One. If you have one of these file sharing programs on your computer, this allows others to access your hard drive.

President Obama Addresses The Nation

Response from Republicans about the Presidents address



Check out this comment (below) from grrandram, who posted their comment on the same page I embeded the Republican response video from... I could not resist posting it here.

"Exactly. They're sort of embarrassing. First they present the hockey mom and now they bring out the Slumdog Millionaire. They're so gimmicky. Hey, look at us, we can have a woman in office."

Useless Keys

Career politician Alan Keys is an idiot and a hater... I am originally from Illinois, Chicago to be exact, and remember when he was running for Senate against the now President Barack Obama, who obviously won that senate race. Alan's own party did not support him. Keys sucked then and he sucks now. He's the communist radical (insert unmentionable name). Wouldn't "his people," Republicans, consider this type of behavior (the way he is talking about the President) as unpatriotic? Are his phones being tapped? I'm just sayin Alan... just sayin you're a traitor on so many levels. Instead of talking sh--, why don't you go out and help the community,
dumb a--!

McCain's Question Brings Laughter At Fiscal Summit

When President Barack Obama responded to McCain's question about a helicopter, hear and see what happens:

President Obama Signs $787 Billion Stimulus Bill In Denver

Obama Hits Up The Floridians

President Obama scores in Florida just like he did yesterday in Indiana. So much so, this guy praised him...

Obama Hits Indy

Just when you think the campaign is over, President Obama does something unheard of today. He goes and stares into the eyes of those that did not vote for him to explain his billion dollar economic stimulus package that Republicans and a handful of Dems oppose. With all the politcal mumbo jumbo aside, President O ended up with a standing O (get it)... and it looks like he is going to end up getting his bill passed.

Etta Vs. Beyoncé

Per the Huffington Post, Etta did not like B singing her song, At Last, at the President's Inaugural Ball, which was what a month ago... I guess better late then never. Check out her talking about President Obama and B at a recent Seattle concert... my only issue with Etta is, President Obama more than likely did not pick the song Beyoncé sang as he had to prep for... you know TAKING OVER THE OVAL OFFICE! So I am not sure when Etta says, he is not her President... did she not vote for him as she had issues with him in the past while he was campaigning, or is this about B singing her classic hit and him dancing to it. I do not see the crime here on his part.
