President Obama To Republicans: “Eff Yo’ Politics, Pass My Jobs Bill For The American People That Need Help!”

President Obama has had enough of the tomfoolery and wants some real action to be taken. In his weekly address, President Obama pressed Republicans in Congress to justify their opposition to his $447 billion jobs bill and reiterated his plea for them to “pass this jobs bill.” “Some Republicans in Congress have said that they agree with certain parts of this jobs bill.” Obama said. “If so, it’s time for them to tell me what those proposals are. And if they’re opposed to this jobs bill, I’d like to know what exactly they’re against. Are they against putting teachers and police officers and firefighters back on the job? Are they against hiring construction workers to rebuild our roads and bridges and schools? Are they against giving tax cuts to virtually every worker and small business in America?” The Senate is expected to take up the bill next month and, while the president continues to urge Congress to pass the American Jobs Act in full, the White House has said Obama would accept a piecemeal approach to passing the legislation if Congress rejects the package in full. “Economists from across the political spectrum have said that this jobs bill would boost the economy and spur hiring. Why would you be against that — especially at a time when so many Americans are struggling and out of work?” Obama asked. But, the president argued that this “isn’t just about what I think is right. It’s not just about what a group of economists think is right,” it’s about what Americans want and need. The POTUS went on to say: “These are the people who need a win, and I will be fighting for this jobs bill every day on their behalf,” he said. “It is time for the politics to end. Let’s pass this jobs bill.” Unfortunately, some of these Republican scumbags just won’t let Barack Hussein Obama be great. SMH… Source

Hi Hater: Federal Appeals Court Removes Olympic Gold Medalist Carl Lewis From NJ State Senate Ballot…

No more “running” for Carl Lewis A federal appeals panel took nine-time Olympic gold medalist Carl Lewis off a New Jersey state Senate ballot yesterday, finding he does not meet the state’s four-year residency requirement after all. The ruling came nine days after the same three-judge panel from the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals said Lewis should be on the ballot. The issue, which turned out more complex than it seemed, was whether Lewis would satisfy a requirement that state senators live in the state four years before they take office. Lewis, 50, grew up in Willingboro, NJ, went to college in Texas and settled in California. In 1984, he won four gold medals in track and field at the Olympic in LA. He would add five more Olympic golds over the next 12 years. He bought homes in New Jersey in 2005 and 2007 and began working as a volunteer track coach at Willingboro HS. But he continued to pay taxes in California. Lewis and supporters blast what the say was a politically motivated move. In 1984, he won four gold medals in track and field at the Olympic in LA.

Republican Presidential Frontrunner Rick Perry Is Feeling The Heat For Major Cuts Firefighting Budget In Texas

Rick Perry doesn’t care about burning people… In Texas, firefighters aren’t just battling the wild fires raging around Austin and Houston. The state’s first responders have also had to deal with budget cuts affecting everything from fuel purchases to hoses and oxygen tanks. In some cases, fire officials say, firefighters have had to pay out of pocket for basic necessities like proper protective gear and fuel to get them to the scene. One fire department that battled the blazes in Bastrop County had to pay for a hose, recalled Bastrop City Fire Chief Henry Perry, speaking to The Huffington Post during a break from working the wild fires. “That fire department has been on this fire every day,” he said. “Before this fire, they were having to buy stuff out of their own pocket.” Perry said he knows of at least one other department whose firemen had to pay for equipment maintenance and engine fuel. Earlier this week, HuffPost reported that Gov. Rick Perry, the GOP front-runner for president, had signed off on millions in firefighting cuts as part of the state’s most recent budget legislation. The Texas Forest Service’s funding has gone from $117.7 million in the 2010-2011 budget years to $83 million in the 2012-2013 budget years. Severe cuts have also hit assistance grants to volunteer fire departments throughout Texas. The grants decreased from $30 million per year in 2010 and 2011 to $13.5 million per year in 2012 and 2013. These are cuts that firemen are now dealing with. “I don’t agree with it. I understand what Governor Perry did,” said Henry Perry (no relation). “Do I like it? No. I don’t like it at all.” Guy Turner, the president of the Texas State Association of Fire Fighters, had this to say about Gov. Perry: “For years, public safety was the golden calf — that we were untouchable,” Turner said. “Nobody’s untouchable. It is a shame. They are basically putting a price on how much our lives are worth. It’s disturbing at best.” So the question is, is this the man that we want to run our country??? A man who cuts budgets for public safety while his state burns like Usher?? SMH we say HELL NO! Source

Guess Which Ex-Camel Associate Has Been Charged With Bootleggin’ Liquor Like It’s 1920!!

Was this dice-shakin’ dance machine doing his best ‘Boardwalk Empire’ impression??? ​Damon Dash—fallen hip-hop mogul, co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records—had a club not so long ago in Tribeca called DD172. SOTC alum Zach Baron referred to it as “gallery-cum-illegal-performance-space-cum-goofy-artless-takeoff-on-Warhol’s-Factory,” and the Observer called Dash a “Wannabe Warhol”: “Sometimes the four-story warehouse is a sprawling art gallery; at other times, it’s a photo studio, or an indie band’s rehearsal space.” To Tribecans, it was “a front” for a suspected unlicensed club, a nuisance, a disturbance. DD172 hasn’t been operational since June, when the Tribeca Citizen observed stuff being moved out of the space at 172 Duane Street. Yesterday, the quiet block where the club was located—located in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in New York—rippled with interest as the city brought legal action against the building’s owners. At around 4:30 p.m. yesterday, cops served the property with a court summons and order to show cause. The defendants, 172 Duane Street Realty and “Jane and John Doe” (the tenants, i.e. Dash and associates) are accused of six counts of storing and selling alcoholic beverages without a license, as detailed in court documents obtained by the Voice. DD172 was caught violating the liquor code for the first time in November 2010 and as recently as May, according to the affidavits of police who investigated the club. One document states that the violations “were conducted in an open and notorious manner and the operators of this establishment appear to have evinced a ‘business as usual’ attitude in the subject premises.” DD172′s repeated violations are used as evidence that the club’s actions constitute a public nuisance. The plaintiffs are asking for a preliminary injunction from the judge, plus a restraining order. Said one salty tenant about Dash as a neighbor: “Damon Dash was a terrible neighbor. It was always super loud, super noisy, tons of garbage in the street. All these 18-year-old kids smoking and drinking—real thugs. They were disrespectful to the neighborhood.” This neighbor said the local rumor is that “the owner rented to Damon Dash to f**k with the neighbors,” and that the landlord knew full well that Dash wasn’t the kind of tenant the neighborhood wanted. He described Dash as a “hustler” and DD172′s purported “media collective” status as a “front” for an illegal club, a claim that the city apparently corroborates. Damn, Dame just can’t get right…SMH Source

Making It Rain On Them Hoes: How Much Gwap Could Beyonce Make From Her Gut Full Of Camel??

Baby Bey-Bey could be big business… Remember, there’s nothing a baby-oriented business loves more than a famous mommy. Ever since Beyoncé made her announcement at the VMAs, you can safely bet that thousands of dollars worth of stuff has been arriving at Chez Z: baby clothes, baby bags, baby furniture, bottles, other gear. The goal: a paparazzi photo of Beyoncé using the stuff in public. It’s free advertising, the very best kind. By the time the kid is born, don’t be surprised if the dollar value of the freebies reaches the tens or even hundreds of thousands. That said, the biggest payday will, of course, come from the first baby photo, assuming that Beyoncé chooses to sell that photo at all. (Sarah Jessica Parker, for example, chose not to sell a photo of her first born and instead let paparazzi snap away during the baby’s first public appearance.) “Beyoncé has got a million-dollar baby on her hands,” estimates Mark Pasetsky, former editor of OK! magazine, and now the founder of the publicity firm Mark Allen & Co. “It will be at least a million. She’s is a very well-loved star, this is her first baby and she’s popular around the world.” Now if that figure sounds a little small, you’re right: Jennifer Lopez charged a reported $6 million for access to her newborn twins. And People magazine is said to have paid Brangelina $14 million for a first look at their twins. Even the first photo of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt garnered a reported $4 million. You can blame the economy, insiders tell me. Fewer magazines are publishing, particularly in the U.S., which means less competition, and lower bids, for baby photos. Still, $1million will buy Beyoncé a hell of a lot of Pampers. We’re not totally sure that King B and Hovi Hov would be down to cash in on their new bundle of joy as private as they are. One thing is for sure though, media outlets are going to go H*A*M sandwich when that baby pops out! Source
