Obama, Democrats Strategy For 2010: Keep Blaming Bush

Politico.com:

President Barack Obama is trying to ride the wave of anti-incumbency by taking on an unpopular politician steeped in the partisan ways of Washington. 

It doesn’t matter that George W. Bush left office 16 months ago. 

The White House’s mid-term election strategy is becoming clear – pit the Democrats of 2010 against the Republicans circa 2006, 2008 and 2009, including Bush. 

It’s a lot to ask an angry, finicky electorate to sort out. And even if Obama can rightfully make the case that the economy took a turn for the worse under Bush's watch, he's already made it - in 2008 and repeatedly in 2009. 

It’s not clear that voters still want to hear it.

Good to know that two years after he surged into office Barry's still gonna dodge accountability. place his bets and pin it all on his predecessor. Barry's policies have all failed, he's polarized the nation in an unprecedented manner, the economy has gotten far worse, he's continued two wars he said he'd end, frustrated independents have all turned against his party and yet Barry still wants voters to believe that it's all Bush's fault. Sad.

This Week's Sign of the Apocalypse: Bill Clinton Raffles Himself To Pay For Hillary's Campaign Debt

CBSNews.com:

Former President Bill Clinton is tapping his star power to help his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, pay off the debt still lingering from her 2008 presidential campaign. 

In an e-mail sent to Hillary Clinton supporters this week, Bill Clinton offers contributors to the Clinton campaign a chance to spend the day with him in New York. 

"How would you like the chance to come up to New York and spend a day with me?" the e-mail reads. "Hillary's campaign still has a few vestiges of debt that I know she would like to see paid in full. Will you reach out today to help Hillary this one last time? If you enter between now and May 18th, you might join me for a day in New York."

By making a donation or filling out a form, supporters can spend a day with the former president. 

Records show that as of April 1, Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign still had $771,000 in debt, the New York Times reports. The campaign owes money to Mark Penn, Clinton's political strategist and pollster -- Penn's firm, Penn Schoen Berland, collected $24 million from the Clinton campaign for their services, according to reports.

Pathetic.

Obama Facing Mounting Anger For Handling Of Oil Spill

Newsmax.com:

Anger grew along the Gulf Coast as an ooze of oil washed into delicate coastal wetlands in Lousiana, with residents questioning the federal government and others wondering how to clean up the monthlong mess that worsens with each day.

"It's difficult to clean up when you haven't stopped the source," said Chris Roberts, a councilman for Jefferson Parish, which stretches from the New Orleans metropolitan area to the coast. "You can scrape it off the beach but it's coming right back."

Roberts surveyed the oil that forced officials to close a public beach on Grand Isle, south of New Orleans, as globs of crude that resembled melted chocolate washed up. Others questioned why BP PLC was still in charge of the response.

"The government should have stepped in and not just taken BP's word," declared Wayne Stone of Marathon, Fla., an avid diver who worries about the spill's effect on the ecosystem.

The government is overseeing the cleanup and response, but the official responsible for the oversight said he understands the discontent.

First, the idea that this is "Obama's Katrina" was a ridiculous move by conservatives. Corrupt Democrat leadership, led by Ray Nagin and then-governor Kathleen Blanco, led to the devastating aftermaths of Katrina, not Bush. Second, can't blame Bush on this one as it seems like Barry's getting blame from both sides of the aisle on this BP matter. Lastly, did Barry return all that BP cash yet?

Arizona Boycotts Could Hurt Hispanic Workers

FOXNews.com:

The raft of boycotts being imposed on Arizona over its immigration law could up end hitting Hispanic workers as hard as anyone. 

Hispanics make up a huge chunk of the state's hospitality and service sector workforce -- and with city governments and organizations pulling the plug on travel and conventions in Arizona, state officials point out that Hispanic workers stand to lose. 

They say it makes little sense for officials protesting the Arizona law out of concern that it would subject Hispanic immigrants to racial profiling to register their dismay by targeting the tourism industry. 

"These boycotts could be hurting the very same people that they profess to be helping," said Garrick Taylor, spokesman for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 

The worst-case-scenario estimates for the financial impact of lost convention business alone are staggering. Phoenix officials say their city could lose up to $90 million in the next five years over the protests. The figure represents not just lost convention and hotel fees but other money tourists would otherwise spend in the city.

Conservatives know that for liberals it's rarely about what they say it is. No it's pandering for votes, let the same people they claim to be "protecting" be damned.

Democrats Stand Up And Cheer Felipe Calderon's Lies On Arizona Immigration Law SB1070

Mediaite.com:

Yesterday, Mexican President Felipe Calderon spoke to a joint session of the US Congress and railed against the controversial immigration law recently passed in Arizona. Democrats in audience rose to applaud after Calderon critiqued the law which did not please the hosts of Fox and Friends one bit, and made some strong point critiquing Calderon’s comments – namely that he got it wrong when he said that “racial profiling is the basis of the law.”

Host Steve Doocy summed up the “big doings” yesterday thusly: “Mexican President Felipe Calderon went to the well of the house, stood there in front of everybody, told a gigantic lie, and the Democrats in the House and the Senate gave him a standing ovation.” Calderon’s comment that the law is “introduces the terrible the idea of racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement” does not appear correct; the law specifically forbids the racial profiling, though some have argued that the spirit of law is not in line with the letter of the law.

Host Gretchen Carlson was so outraged by this story that she went so far as to suggest that politicians running for office in November might want to use this footage in their political ads in the Fall. An interesting suggestion, that is certain to be followed by Republican candidates (since very few of them were giving the standing ovation.)

Disgraceful. This will come back to haunt them.

Glenn Beck Takes Down Nancy Pelosi's Mocking Of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

White liberals have been pandering to the Black vote for decades now with sometimes startling success (like we saw in '08). But when they go and use one of our greatest Americans, Martin Luther King Jr., for their own corrupt and immoral agenda (all under the guise of "civil rights"), Blacks as a whole should all be both angry and offended. But just like a disproportionate unemployment rate, crime in our community on the upheaval and a host of other issues that have steadily grown while the Obama/Reid/Pelosi regime took over that have literally been ignored, we remain silent because to them we're nothing but tools.

Obama Hides From Press; No Conference Since July

Newsmax.com:

Observers couldn’t help but notice the irony: President Barack Obama on Monday signed the Press Freedom Act, then refused to take any questions from members of the press.

In a broader sense, the event was another demonstration of Obama’s standoffish relationship with the news media — despite his campaign vow of a “transparent” administration.

Obama has not fielded questions at a full-blown press conference since way back on July 22, 2009.

President George H.W. Bush had nearly three press conferences a month. Bill Clinton and Lyndon Johnson convened an average of about two a month, Ronald Reagan had less than one press conference every two months, and Richard Nixon averaged one every seven weeks.

Obama lags behind both Nixon and Reagan: He called five press conferences during his first six months in office, and none in the 10 months that followed, the Huffington Post reported.

As for less formal short exchanges with reporters, Obama has had 47, compared with 147 for George W. Bush in his first year and 252 for Clinton, according to figures compiled by professor Martha Joynt Kumar of Towson University in Towson, Md.

Personally I wouldn't be surprised if even a narcissistic guy like Barry just got tired of the liberal press kissing his ass. Barry was clearly embarrassed at winning the Nobel Peace Prize (for simply not being George W. Bush) last year and he and Joe Biden have often joked about how one-sided the MSM has been towards their administration. Better yet maybe all the Obama stans in the press were getting to Barry's head so much that one day Michelle had to get in his big ears and bring him down to earth. Either way the irony of Barry ignoring his minions in the press for so long is funny.

You Have To Be An Idiot To Participate In "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day"

AFP.com:

An American cartoonist whose work inspired the controversial "Everybody Draw Mohammed Page" on Facebook has condemned the effort and issued an apology to Muslims.

Molly Norris, of Seattle, drew a cartoon in April to protest the decision by the US television channel Comedy Central to cancel an episode of the popular show "South Park" over its depiction of the Prophet Mohammed in a bear suit.

In her cartoon, Norris satirically proposed May 20 as an "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day."

An "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day" page quickly turned up on Facebook but Norris, writing on her website at mollynorris.com, said she had nothing to do with it.

"I did NOT 'declare' May 20 to be "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day," she said, adding that her idea was satire but "was taken seriously, hijacked and made viral."

"I never started a Facebook page; I never set up any place for people to send drawings to and I never received any drawings," she said.

"The vitriol this 'day' has brought out, of people who only want to draw obscene images, is offensive to Muslims who did nothing to endanger our right to expression in the first place," she said.

"I apologize to people of Muslim faith and ask that this 'day' be called off," she said.

The "Draw Mohammed" page has led to Facebook being blocked in Pakistan and sparked angry protests and condemnation from the foreign ministry, which denounced the "publication of blasphemous caricatures of our holy prophet."

The Facebook page on Thursday had drawn over 98,700 fans -- and a slew of crude photo-shopped pictures and caricatures.

Leave me out of this one because it's essentially a point of why go there? Don't conservatives have bigger battles to win? Don't liberals care about their lives? Or do members of the far-Right have egos so big that they need to mess with "religious" zealots in this way just to prove that they're not "cowards"? I guess so. Yet, we've seen them attack and kill innocent men, women and children on an almost daily basis--using violence to make political/religious points continue to mean nothing to them. A few weeks ago they threatened the lives of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone for poking fun at Mohammed in an episode. And of course there's always 9/11. I just think it's a waste of time to mess with people who not only lack any type of reasoning, but who will snuff your life at a whim in order to get their point across. I mean, they've convinced themselves of being martyrs for a reason. Think of it as trying to talk about world peace with the local drunk--what's the point? Even the creator of this "Draw Muhammad Day" has backed out citing safety. 

Granted, a free society has the power to say whatever it wants, even if it's offensive, but these people don't play by our rules. Instead, they make up their own and millions of lives have been snuffed out because of it. Then too, there's simple common sense: unless you got an army behind you ready to go to war for you, you don't fuck with terrorists.

Wolf Blitzer Takes Down Hypocrite Mexican President Felipe Calderon's Stance On Arizona's SB1070 Law

Mediaite.com:

After appearing before Congress and attacking Arizona’s new illegal immigration law, Mexican president Felipe Calderón appeared on CNN to talk shop with Wolf Blitzer. Blitzer, rather surprisingly, turned the tables on the president, opting to ask him instead about his country’s immigration laws, and whether they were just as strict (if not stricter) than Arizona’s. Calderón admitted that laws were stringent in the past but clarified that it is currently not illegal to be undocumented in Mexico.

Citing a Washington Times article explaining Mexican immigration laws that incriminated those who willfully participated in illegal immigration or helped illegal immigrants, Blitzer asked President Calderón to contrast those laws with Arizona’s. Calderón replied that, while the Times assessment used to be true, it is no longer, and immigration cannot be illegal in Mexico. “Of course, on the border, we are asking people ‘Who are you?’” explained Calderón, and “Once they are inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law, but any means immigration is a crime anymore in Mexico… if someone does that, we find them and sending [sic] them back.”

In response to that, Blitzer noted that many in the US do not know that Mexico does not criminalize illegal immigration, and reference the older, harsher laws to argue that border states are only trying to do what Mexico does in its lower half, as well. Calderón accepted the criticism, and said he took it into account when discussing immigration laws:

Shocked to say the least. But then if Anderson Cooper (of late) and now Wolf Blitzer continue to yunno . . . do their jobs as credible journalists and present both sides of the story, CNN's ratings might actually go up.

Obama Lets Hypocrite Mexican President Criticize Arizona's SB1070 Law On White House Lawn

Mind you, Mexico has tougher anti-illegal immigrant laws than the U.S. does. But what does that matter to a radically-leftist President who constantly blames America first and refuses to do anything about securing our borders:

Obama is lobbying lawmakers to get moving on legislation that would seek to deal with the security, employment and citizenship issues at once. He concedes, however, that he does not yet have the Republican support he would need to get such a complex deal done. Whether any progress will happen this year is unclear.

Stoking the matter is a new law approved by Arizona lawmakers and set to take effect July 29 unless derailed by legal challenges. It requires police, in the context of enforcing other laws, to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the United States illegally.

Calderon calls that discriminatory, and Obama agrees the Arizona law could well be applied that way. He has ordered a Justice Department review.

"A prosperous North America that benefits both Americans and Mexicans is only feasible if we work shoulder to shoulder, and if we confront these challenges decisively and courageously," Calderon said at the White House on Wednesday, pushing for cooperation on the economy, migration and security.

Arizona Threatens To Pull Plug On L.A.'s Power If City Goes Through With Boycott

NBCLosAngeles.com:

An Arizona utility commissioner said he's willing to pull the plug on Los Angeles if the city goes through with a boycott of his state.

In a letter to the city of LA, a member of Arizona's power commission said he would ask Arizona utility companies to cut off the power supply to Los Angeles. LA gets about 25 percent of its power from Arizona.

"That is one commissioner who has that idea -- whether he can do that or not is another idea," said LA Councilman Dennis Zine. "They are the ones who have to make the move, not us."

The commissioner's power grid play is in response to the city's approval of a resolution directing city staff to consider which contracts with Arizona can be terminated.

So self-righteous are liberals that they're willing to hurt businesses and risk cutting people's lights off to make a political statement that most Americans disagree with. Idiots.

Reverend Jeremiah Wright: "Obama Threw Me Under The Bus"

NYDailyNews.com:

He's baaack.

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's controversial ex-pastor, threw a hissy fit in a letter to an African aid group, claiming that the president "threw me under the bus" and the White House views him as "toxic."

In a missive obtained by the Associated Press, Wright told Africa 6000 International that the Obama administration would likely ignore his efforts to release frozen funds for use in earthquake-stricken Haiti.

"No one in the Obama administration will respond to me, listen to me, talk to me or read anything that I write to them. I am 'toxic' in terms of the Obama administration," Wright wrote the president of the Pennsylvania-based group, Joseph Prischak, earlier this year.

"I am 'radioactive,' Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!" he wrote. "Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!"

The White House didn't respond to requests for comment Monday about Wright's remarks.

Like Rod Blagojevich, it's always nice to see one of Barry's old Chi-town homies come back to haunt him. Barry went to this guy's church for 20 years, but now that he's the HNIC attempting to push through a radically white, liberal agenda, Barry treats the guy like cancer. But Jeremiah Wright isn't going to be some Vera Baker (the women Barry allegedly had an affair with some years ago, but who has suddenly gone into "seclusion"), no Jeremiah's making sure he can be as much of a headache to Barry as he can while reminding Black liberals of all the promises he made to his Black base that have yet to come to fruition. Good for him.

Arlen Specter's Defeat Is Bad News For Obama

Newsmax.com:

The defeat of Sen. Arlen Specter, the longest serving senator in Pennsylvania history, marks the end of a political era.

It also proves that Washington politicians that lived by the rule of political expediency are finished, as far as American voters are concerned.

The Specter defeat also is a blow to Barack Obama’s political power. Specter strongly backed Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package and his massive healthcare overhaul.

Though Obama strongly backed Specter, and put his political muscle behind the turncoat Republican, along with the powerful political machine of Democratic Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell, Democratic voters sent a jarring message Tuesday night by picking maverick and conservative Joe Sestak as their nominee.

Initially, Specter's April 2009 abandonment of the Republican Party appeared to be a Houdini-like escape.

It enabled him to avoid a primary slugfest against GOP challenger and former Congressman Pat Toomey, a contest that polls showed Specter losing.

Specter believed he had an ace in the hole. He could trade his support in the Senate for Democratic support. In return, he would give President Obama and Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid the coveted 60th vote to head off a GOP filibuster over healthcare reform.

The deal was set, but it ignored one crucial player: the voters of Pennsylvania.

Traitor. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

CNN Does Survey On Race With Kids

CNN.com:

A 5-year-old girl in Georgia is being asked a series of questions in her school library. The girl, who is white, is looking at pictures of five cartoons of girls, all identical except for skin color ranging from light to dark.

When asked who the smart child is, she points to a light-skinned doll. When asked who the mean child is she points to a dark-skinned doll. She says a white child is good because "I think she looks like me", and says the black child is ugly because "she's a lot darker."

As she answers her mother watches, and gently weeps.

Her daughter is taking part in a new CNN pilot study on children's attitudes on race and her answers actually reflect one of the major findings of the study, that white children have an overwhelming bias toward white, and that black children also have a bias toward white but not nearly as strong as the bias shown by the white children.

Renowned child psychologist and University of Chicago professor Margaret Beale Spencer, a leading researcher in the field of child development, was hired as a consultant by CNN. She designed the pilot study and used a team of three psychologists to implement it: two testers to execute the study and a statistician to help analyze the results.

Kids' Test Answers On Race Brings Mother To Tears

I think the white mom hit the nail on the head: lack of exposure to other races just warrants this kind of stuff.

NYTimes: Democrat Candidate Richard Blumenthal Lied About Vietnam Service

CNN.com:

A New York Times story alleging that Democratic candidate Richard Blumenthal lied about serving in Vietnam added fuel to a contentious Connecticut senate race Tuesday.

Blumenthal's campaign criticized the story as an "outrageous distortion," while political opponents demanded answers.

"The New York Times story is an outrageous distortion of Dick Blumenthal's record of service," campaign manager Mindy Myers said. "Unlike many of his peers, Dick Blumenthal voluntarily joined the Marine Corps Reserves in 1970 and served for six months in Parris Island, SC and six years in the reserves. He received no special treatment from anyone."

The New York Times story says Blumenthal, who is currently Connecticut's attorney general, never served in Vietnam but said he did in several speeches before veterans groups and military families. The story also claims that it appears that Blumenthal did nothing to correct numerous media profiles that described him as a Vietnam veteran.

Reached by phone Monday night, Blumenthal told a reporter that he had always said he was a "Vietnam-era" veteran, and that his intention was always to be straightforward about his military service, according to an article published on the website of the Greenwich Time, a newspaper in Connecticut.

"Vietnam-era" veteran as opposed to just a veteran....yeah, right.

Phil Jackson Thinks Lakers Should Stay Out Of Hyperbole Surrounding Arizona Immigration Law

There are idiot lefties who respond strictly to hyperbole, jump on the first bandwagon available and then rant about stuff they know little to nothing about (much less read like Eric Holder, Janet Napolitino and Barack Obama) and then there are guys like Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson. a noted liberal with enough acumen to know that there are two sides to every story:

First Jackson, who has showed lefty leanings in the past, indicated he had no problem with the controversial state Senate Bill 1070.

“Am I crazy, or am I the only one that heard [the legislature] say ‘we just took the United States immigration law and adapted it to our state,’” Jackson said.

I told him they usurped the federal law.

“It’s not usurping, it’s just copying it is what they said they did, and then they gave it some teeth to be able to enforce it,” Jackson said.

Then he mildly scolded the Suns.

“I don’t think teams should get involved in the political stuff. And I think this one’s still kind of coming out to balance as to how it’s going to be favorably looked upon by our public. If I heard it right the American people are really for stronger immigration laws, if I’m not mistaken. Where we stand as basketball teams, we should let that kind of play out and let the political end of that go where it’s going to go.”

In Arizona They're Boycotting The Boycotters

FOXNews.com:

Supporters of Arizona's controversial immigration law are trying to turn the tables on people calling for boycotts of their state, threatening to target opponents of the law with boycotts of their own. 

A group called BUYcottArizona has launched a website calling on supporters not only to ignore the anti-Arizona rhetoric, but to make those cities leading the charge pay for their political opposition. The group names close to a dozen cities -- in addition to individual organizations -- that have backed boycotts on employee travel or future contracts with Arizona businesses, and it is calling on people to "boycott the boycotters." 

The backlash against the backlash may be getting some support. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, would-be tourists have started notifying the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau and some hotels that they are canceling their vacation plans to the Pacific Coast city -- after San Diego's city council decided to launch a boycott against Arizona. 

According to the newspaper, the convention bureau has received about 25-30 e-mails from Arizona residents, with some saying they are canceling their reservations and taking their money elsewhere.

Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard Asked About SB1070: "I'm A Huge Believer In State Rights"

FOXNews.com:

An unhappy crowd booed Miss USA

judge Oscar Nunez when he asked Miss Oklahoma Morgan Elizabeth Woolard a question about Arizona’s immigration law on Sunday night’s pageant.

But could Woolard's answer have cost her the crown?

The "The Office" star asked Woolard if she supported Arizona’s right to enforce the law, which requires police to verify a person's immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" that the person is in the country illegally.

While Ms. Oklahoma certainly held up better than last year's "opposite marriage" proponent Carrie Prejean, one still can't help but wonder if even a fair and diplomatic reply like this caused her to lose.

Supreme Court Sex Offenders Can Be Held Indefinitely

CNN.com:

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday the federal government has the power to keep some sex offenders behind bars indefinitely after they have served their sentences if officials determine those inmates may prove "sexually dangerous" in the future.

"The federal government, as custodian of its prisoners, has the constitutional power to act in order to protect nearby (and other) communities from the danger such prisoners may pose," Justice Stephen Breyer wrote for the 7-2 majority.

At issue was the constitutionality of federal "civil commitment" for sex offenders who are nearing the end of their confinement or who are considered too mentally incompetent to stand trial.

The main plaintiff in the case, Graydon Comstock, was certified as dangerous six days before his 37-month federal prison term for processing child pornography was to end. Comstock and the others filing suit remain confined at Butner Federal Correctional Complex near Raleigh, North Carolina.

Three other inmates who filed suit served prison terms of three to eight years for offenses ranging from child pornography to sexual abuse of a minor. Another was charged with child sex abuse but was declared mentally incompetent to face trial.

All were set to be released nearly three years ago, but government appeals have blocked their freedom. The government says about 83 people are being held under the civil commitment program.

Good ruling. These perverts don't change overnight, they need years of therapy, rehab and repentance. Better to keep them locked up then allow them to wander around the streets and possibly hurt another child.

Laura Bush: Obama, Michelle Benefit From Double Standard

NYDailyNews.com:

President Obama benefits from a double-standard in the press compared to her husband, Laura Bush said today — and Michelle Obama has managed to escape the pigeon hole Bush and other first ladies have gotten jammed in.

Asked on “Fox News Sunday” if the press would have been howling over the White House’s reaction to the BP oil spill even louder if it happened on George Bosh’s watch, the ex-First Lady said, “I think that’s right, probably.” And she didn’t think anyone should be surprised. “But you know, it’s just — that’s just how it is.”

It’s not just just President Obama who’s getting a break from the media, she said. Michelle Obama has escaped being stereotyped the way Laura was as “mumsy” staying home baking cookies.

“The press in general typecasts every woman that lives in the White House, the other first ladies, because always our first ladies have been a lot more interesting, a lot more complicated, than their box that they’re sort of put in,” Bush said. 

But not Michelle.

“I think that she’s — and maybe this is just her age, that she’s younger,” Bush said. “But I think she’s been given the benefit of doubt more by the press than former first ladies,” Bush said.

“Certainly, look at the way Barbara Bush — mother, grandmother — was typed as a grandmotherly, you know, type woman, when, in fact, Barbara Bush is as strong as horseradish and people really know that,” she said.

But it’s her husband who ws really the victim of liberal bias.

“I think that, you know, one of the things that happened when George was president was that everything, including the weather, became his fault,” she said. “And it’s just an unrealistic, really, expectation of our president.”

Jan Brewer: Obama Playing Racial Politics With SB1070

NECN.com:

In launching a Web site aimed at educating the United States on Arizona's controversial illegal immigration law, Governor Jan Brewer (R-Ariz.) took umbrage with the president's joke at the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner.

The event is an opportunity for its speakers to make light of politics, and President Barack Obama did so with Arizona's immigration law:

"We all know what happens in Arizona when you don't have ID -- adios, amigos."

It was this joke which became the target of Gov. Brewer's address regarding new steps the state government is taking to promote the law on a national level.

"It's fair to ask whether he intends to be the Commander-in-Chief or the Comic-in-Chief," Gov. Brewer said. "Since the president's joke was so inappropriate, I suppose, if I wanted to join in the comedian game, I could suggest that he should not give up his day job."

"Unfortunately, though, he isn't doing very well at that one, either," she added as her punchline. In the context of the Correspondents' Dinner, Mr. Obama's joke may not be seen by some as "so inappropriate." Gov. Brewer does not see the issue of border security as a joking matter, regardless of context.

Episcopal Church Ordains Its Second Openly Gay Bishop

FOXNews.com:

Seven years after the Episcopal Church caused an uproar by consecrating its first openly gay bishop, it has done the same thing again -- only this time with a woman.

The Rev. Canon Mary Glasspool, of Baltimore, was ordained and consecrated on Saturday, making her the second openly gay bishop in church history and one of the first two female bishops in the Diocese of Los Angeles' 114-year history.

She was installed at Long Beach Arena before 3,000 people, who burst into applause at the end, church spokesman Bob Williams said.

Just before the ceremony began, a man stood, shouted about the need to repent and held up a sign that read "Do not be deceived, homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God."

Understand something, the Episcopalian "church" as it stands today doesn't represent the teachings of Jesus Christ, it's a joke, an immoral cesspool in which "preachers" have manipulated the Bible for their own desires. The Bible's stance on homosexuality is crystal clear: it's wrong. And messing with the Scripture is not a game folks, the standards are there and we will not be judged on what people say, but what we do.
