Meet The Depressed — Obama’s kryptonite cuts to the very heart of the administration’s failings at a presidential economic town hall.

Last night on “The Daily Show” Jon Stewart focused on President Obama's town hall meeting on CNBC, where questions centered around Wall St. and the economy. Among those asking the questions was a woman who Stewart identified as “Obama's Kryptonite.” After fielding questions from a jilted Wall St. executive and a young lawyer who can't afford to pay his student loans, Obama was hit hardest by a middle-class, African-American woman who frankly said, “I'm exhausted of defending you.” It turns out, the woman behind this reasonable critique is not just a middle-class wife and mother, but also a chief financial officer of a veteran's organization, a powerful combination that Stewart considers an “Obama zapping machine.” “A black, lady, financial analyst veteran?” Stewart said in disbelief. “We have found Obama's Kryptonite.” Then, in true 'Daily Show' fashion, Stewart used footage of Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign to show what Americans such as the fed-up woman at the rally were promised, and followed up with clips from the last two years where he defers or denies the ability to follow through with those same promises. added by: atomiclegion

First MTV TJ Gabi Gregg Wants To Give Followers ‘A Voice’

Plus-size-fashion blogger @gabifresh comes out on top during live finale of ‘Follow Me.’ By Fernanda Diaz Sway & Gabi Gregg at the finale of “Follow Me: The Search for the first MTV TJ” Photo: MTV NEW YORK — MTV just got a little bit fresher. Gabi Gregg, who goes by @gabifresh on Twitter, was crowned MTV’s first-ever Twitter Jockey at the live finale of “Follow Me: The Search for the First MTV TJ” on Sunday night (August 8). The 24-year-old Detroit native and plus-size-fashion blogger was one of 20 contestants chosen by MTV, in partnership with ZYNC from American Express, to compete for a $100,000 contract to be the social-media face of MTV. Throughout the first round of challenges, Gabi’s eye for style and gregarious charm catapulted her to more than 5,000 Twitter followers and nabbed her the highest number of votes on the ZYNC by American Express Facebook hub. Only five of the original contestants made it to the live finale in New York City, and Gabi, rocking a little black dress on the sparkly stage at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, continued her winning streak to top the popular vote during every elimination round. Moments after it was revealed that Gabi nabbed the throne, the @MTVTJ account was transferred to her possession, and she tweeted her first official message: “Ommmmmgggggg thAnk you to everyone.” Gabi spoke to MTV News only moments after sending off her first dispatch, and she told us all about why she’s excited about the position — including the fact that it’s her first job since she graduated from college two years ago. She has big plans for the historic new position, and she’s keeping it all about the followers. “My main goal is to really connect with the audience,” she said. “I don’t want to be the same as the MTV Twitter; I want to keep it personable and keep in touch with the followers. I want to give them a voice.” Her first order of business? “Paying off my student loans,” she says. We can’t wait to see what her second is — and what she’ll wear during all of them. Are you happy Gabi is the new TJ? Let us know in the comments!
