Ouzounova/Splash News Simone Biles Goes In On USA Gymnastics’ Interim President Simone Biles ain’t playing no games! The Olympic gold medalist let it all out on Twitter this week, criticizing USA Gymnastics’ decision to appoint Mary Bono as interim president and chief executive officer on Saturday. Biles shared her disapproval with USA Gymnastics’ decision via her Twitter page, resurfacing an anti-Nike tweet that Bono proudly posted last month. In the now-deleted Tweet, Bono posted a photo of her blacking out a Nike logo in the wake of the company’s advertising endorsement of Colin Kaepernick–she was given Nike shoes at a golfing event but decided to cover over the white swoosh with a black sharpie. Innovative. Biles retweeted the statement along with her explicit disapproval of new Bono’s appointment, writing, “*mouth drop* don’t worry, it’s not like we needed a smarter usa gymnastics president or any sponsors or anything.” Unsurprisingly, Bono also tweeted out #BoycottNike during the company’s campaign. In case you’re unfamiliar, Nike is a huge sponsor of the U.S. Olympic Committee. Bono is a former US Congresswoman and spent 15 years in the legislature until 2013. She won her first term during a special election to fill the vacant seat of her deceased husband, pop star and legislator Sonny Bono. Following that, she was most recently working at a consulting firm in Washington D.C. The Olympic organization is going to keep Bono as their acting president until they find a permanent replacement for Kerry Perry. After deleting the initial anti-Nike Tweet, Bono released an apology saying the following: “I deeply regret posting the tweet because I respect everyone’s views and their fundamental right to express them,” she said in a statement released by U.S.A. Gymnastics. “This in no way reflects how I will approach my position at U.S.A. Gymnastics. I will do everything I can to help change the culture and to work with the entire community to build an open, safe and positive environment.” I regret the post and respect everyone’s views & fundamental right to express them. This doesn’t reflect how I will approach my position @USAGym I will do everything I can to help build, w/ the community, an open, safe & positive environment. — Mary Bono (@MaryBonoUSA) October 14, 2018

Is President Obama in serious danger of losing re-election in 2012? A new McClatchy/Marist Poll released over the weekend found Obama's job approval rating at just 42 percent — the lowest number of his presidency. One reason Obama's numbers have taken a turn for the worse: The president has lost ground with Democrats in recent weeks. According to the poll, 74 percent of Democrats approve of the job Obama is doing — a sign that he remains enormously popular with his base. But that number is down nearly 9 percentage points since November, according to McClatchy. Meanwhile his disapproval rating nearly doubled, moving from 11 percent to 21 percent in the last month. Among self-described liberals, his approval rating has dropped from 78 percent to 69 percent since November. At the same time, his standing among independent voters — the group that propelled him to the White House in '08 — remained dismal. Just 39 percent of independents approve of Obama's job performance, compared with 50 percent who disapprove. That's down more than 20 points since Obama was elected. Matched up against early 2012 contenders, the poll finds that if the election were held today, Obama would narrowly lose to Republican Mitt Romney, 44 percent to 46 percent — though that's within the poll's 3.5 percent margin of error. He would narrowly beat former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, 47 percent to 43 percent. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20101213/pl_yblog_theticket/obamas-job-a… added by: im1mjrpain
