Ahh, yes, love is in the air!
During a visit Tuesday at the Daughters of Zion Jr. Academy in Delray Beach, Florida, President Barack Obama gets upstaged by a young Romeo.
No kiss-cam needed for this kiddie coupling.

The saddest thing to be learned about the 2012 Presidential Debate season is how soon people are willing to dismiss or completely ignore the accomplishments of the president. 
The Republican Party and their sympathizers are so desperate for their uninspiring candidates to win, they are, time and time again, choosing to completely ignore substance. If Mitt Romney is rude, overly aggressive, and obnoxious to the host and Big Bird, it is lauded as “being Presidential.” Now that their candidate has lost the Vice Presidential Debate of 2012, desperation dictates that the Republican focus turn to facial expressions.
"Clueless"
Wednesday’s first 2012 Presidential Debate was a head-scratcher to say the least. The media talked about how lackluster President Barack Obama’s performance was in stark contrast to Mitt Romney’s performance. I believe that I can offer an interpretation.
Octomom needlessly overexposed...
I didn’t want to write this post. And so, I’ll be brief. I kept quiet when Suze Orman and Oprah Winfrey on the Oprah Winfrey Show seemed to have more genuine interest in the length of Nadya Suleman’s eyelashes than the welfare of her children. I’m sure that Oprah in one of her famous acts of benevolence offered her golden help and the Octomom in her agitated state of mind, batted her lashes, and enthusiastically, but foolishly declined. What’s more aggravating—and what I cannot keep quiet about—is that, for some reason, Oprah and Dr. Phil seem to think that there is some high honor in announcing to America:
“The Octomom did not get paid to do my show.”
Followers of Allah, coming in a cloud of black smoke, bringing misery and death.
As a born-again Christian who serves the one true God, who is Almighty, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, for the life of me, I cannot understand why Muslims go buck-wild whenever miscellaneous individuals insult their god. Wif crazed protesters foamin’ at the mouf. With fire. Violence. Murder.
First lady Michelle Obama delivers a winning speech in a Tracy Reese dress.
First lady Michelle Obama’s speech was a riveting tear-jerker (for those of us who are not robots)!
It was a speech honoring the hope of mothers and fathers; the strivings of the human spirit; sacrifices at home and abroad; a speech in support of simple human rights such as healthcare, education, and liberty for all; and of American pride.
President Barack Obama must be as proud of his wife as his beautiful daughters–and all of the U.S.A. “How hard you work,” Michelle Obama said, “is more important than how much you make.”
Jared Bernstein makes Economics look good.
From 2009 to 2011, Jared Bernstein was the Chief Economist and Economic Adviser to Vice President Joe Biden, executive director of the White House Task Force on the Middle Class, and a member of President Obama’s economic team. In May of 2011, he joined the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a liberal fiscal group, as a Senior Fellow. In case you were wondering, Bernstein’s official reason for leaving the White House was because his calls for more stimulus spending were being ignored by a GOP-controlled House in an environment focused on major snips and cuts.
The Pew Research Center has just released a report, though written a year ago, by Jared Bernstein that they say is worth a close look. I’m not so sure. However, I am sure that I, personally, will never know if I have to read it.
When Jared Bernstein explains that the title, “The Lost Decade of the Middle Class,” comes from the observation that real median income or the more comprehensive measure of net worth were lower at the end of the last decade than at the start,” my eyes don’t exactly cloud over.
Instead, in his presence, it’s my hearing that fails.
Remember when a patient could enter a hospital and come out a well being?
The only place safe for a body these days, it seems, is the morgue. People are no longer just “going postal” in the post office. Those distinctive pops are going off in the movie theatres, the temples, and now, gasp, even in the hospitals?
