Speaker of the House John Boehner delivers the latest Weekly GOP Address. The Ohioan is calling on the Senate to act on some bipartisan energy jobs bills that have passed the House. And he’s asking for the presidents help too. However, Boehner chided the Obama on one job creation project. “About the only thing the president has pushed the Senate to do is to prevent construction of the Keystone XL pipeline,”… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Marathon Pundit Discovery Date : 30/03/2012 17:27 Number of articles : 3
President Barack Obama renewed his call Saturday for passage of the so-called Buffett rule, calling it “just common sense,” not “class warfare.” The Buffett rule, named after billionaire investor Warren Buffett, entered the lexicon last year after Buffett penned an op-ed in the New York Times encouraging Congress to raise taxes on the wealthy. Under the proposed plan, scheduled for a Senate vote April… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 31/03/2012 10:30 Number of articles : 2

Lil Wayne has a knack for making it rain. This is unquestioned. No matter the timing, no matter the circumstances, the rapper wants to throw dat cash! Hey, when you gots insane amounts of bank, flaunt it. With that in mind, The Chive created this amazing photo gallery of Weezy making it rain in all sorts of interesting situations … ones you might not typically associate as the most natural fits for his notorious strip club behavior. For instance, here’s him right after the royal wedding … … and in President Barack Obama’s Situation Room, during the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan last year. Someone’s gotta lighten the mood: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton looks understandably shocked, but the rainmaker does what he’s gotta do. Follow the link above for a dozen more of these gems.
Barack Obama is sexy, and he knows it. So much so that The President of the United States loves to sing “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO, it turns out. Okay, “sings” is a bit of a stretch. But he does speak the lyrics in a montage of spliced-together clips set to the beat of the hit song. The result? A hilarious foreign policy platform, to say the least. Girl. Look at that. Body. I-I-I-I work out. Enjoy: Barack Obama Singing “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO
The first trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen ‘s The Dictator had Megan Fox and Kardashian jokes, but those pop culture touchstones have been replaced by Anna Faris and terrorism gags in the new, longer trailer. An upgrade? Eh, sure. Maybe. Or not: Faris’s brunette pixie ‘do does make her look particularly adorable, but juxtaposed with her natural poise Cohen comes off as a poor man’s Adam Sandler . Like, hammy Zohan-lite Sandler. Here’s why Cohen’s Dictator schtick hasn’t really worked thus far, from the film footage that’s been released: When Cohen is 100 percent in character — clueless, masking any hint of self-awareness, as he was best in Borat or while Kim Jong-illing Ryan Seacrest recently at the Oscars — he absolutely slays. That unapologetic ignorance is key, and that’s how The Dictator seems to start out. But throw in those rom-com cliches and the lessons in humility and/or humanity that will surely come once Admiral General Aladeen falls for Faris’s hippie love interest, redeems himself, etc. (as the trailers suggest he will) and he’s instantly less interesting. Is it too late to cut together a version of The Dictator made entirely of Obama footage, Aladeen at the Wadiya Olympics, and scenes of Cohen frightening bigoted Americans with his terrifying “otherness?” Because that’s the movie I want after seeing all this learning lessons BS.

First lady will present Swift with the Big Help Award at Saturday’s show. By James Montgomery Michelle Obama Photo: Saul Loeb/ AFP/ Getty Images Michelle Obama will appear at Nickelodeon’s 25th annual Kids’ Choice Awards to present a special award to Taylor Swift. The first lady will be on hand to honor Swift with the Big Help Award, in recognition of her philanthropic efforts, including work with U.S. tornado and flood survivors . Obama herself was the recipient of the award in 2010, in recognition of her Let’s Move! Campaign, which champions healthier lifestyles for kids. And, as if that weren’t enough to establish her Nick cred, earlier this year, Obama also appeared on a special episode of “iCarly” to promote her Joining Forces initiative to support military families. The Big Help Award is given to individuals who take actions to better the world and whose impact on their community has inspired kids to do the same. Among her many charitable works, Swift is dedicated to raising funds and awareness to benefit those affected by natural disasters, including opening the last dress rehearsal of her Speak Now Tour to fans as a fundraiser for victims of the 2011 tornadoes that tore through the Southeast. She also works with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the St. Jude Medical Center, Habitat for Humanity and the Red Cross. Previous winners of the Big Help Award include Justin Timberlake and Leonardo DiCaprio. Kids can pledge to make a difference in their community by going to the Big Help website , where they can learn how to take positive actions that will directly affect their communities. The 25th annual Kids’ Choice Awards air live Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on Nickelodeon. Someone will surely be slimed — probably not Michelle though. Related Artists Taylor Swift
Lindzi Cox acts like she got away with something. The Bachelor runner-up, who Ben Flajnik rejected in favor of MODEL Courtney Robertson on this month’s season finale, is all smiles these days, as if she dodged a bullet. When she departed, Lindz did so with an interesting parting shot, telling Ben that he could call her if (and when) everything unraveled with finacee Courtney. She meant it as a joke, though, and from the looks of it, she’s content to move on and forget, more or less, that anything ever happened with Ben. Lindzi Cox on Good Morning America Jilted as she may be, the Seattle resident who rode in on a horse has ridden off into the sunset on a high note, and is about as happy as a girl can be. No bad blood toward Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson , no ill will toward the show, no wondering what might have been … and no looking back. Safe to say Lindzi Cox is the real winner here?
Opening arguments began today as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule on President Obama’s landmark national health care law later this year. Whatever the nine justices decide, it will be historic. The so-called individual mandate is the linchpin of the law and came under scrutiny as the nation’s highest court launched into its hearing Tuesday.
(CNN) – Republicans wasted no time Monday pouncing on President Barack Obama’s now-controversial “open-mic” comment with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
