“He asked about my character in How Do You Know , and I told him I’m a guy who gets into some hot water, and though his intentions are good he gets indicted by the government for possible violations. And Obama says, ‘Oh, so you’re playing a congressman.’ And I was like, ‘No, actually I work for my dad in this corporation.’ I’m trying to explain, and Obama interrupts me and says, ‘It was a joke.’ I just felt so stupid. Of course it was a joke, and it’s actually a pretty good one. I’m normally pretty good at catching them. If you’re not the fucking President of the United States, I can usually identify when you’re joking.” Now you know. [ Playboy ]
He’s done. This was pathetic. Obama tells supporters: If you love me, ask Congress to pass my jobs bill. Here’s the video: CBS News reported: President Obama continued pushing his jobs bill in battleground states on Wednesday, telling a fired-up … Continue reading → Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Gateway Pundit Discovery Date : 14/09/2011 21:21 Number of articles : 2
Weezy talks racial politics in new issue of Vibe magazine. By James Montgomery Lil Wayne Photo: FilmMagic Though it would be pretty amazing to see Lil Wayne throw on a tri-cornered hat and breeches to complain about tyranny, it seems he’s not exactly feeling the Tea Party. Or the Grand Old Party, for that matter. This according to a new interview in the October/November issue of Vibe magazine, where Weezy rips the nation’s right wingers for their political views (though, to be fair, he does seem to share their opinion on taxes ), and said that they’re not concerned with — or interested in — working with African-Americans. “You learn from what the right-wing is doing and you take something from it,” he said. “I feel like as a people, the most that we can do is better ourselves and learn. Then look at yourself and ask, ‘Am I the person they’re talking about or am I not?’ You have to make the most of who you are because the Republicans are never going to like us.” In the interview, Wayne also touches on the far-right’s treatment of President Obama, saying that, while he understands some of their criticisms on Obama’s handling of the economy, he feels that most of their attacks have more to do with his racial background than his policies. “I don’t think I have to say that for everybody to know that,” he said. And while he may be frustrated with the current fractious state of politics, Wayne can take solace in the fact that, at least there seems to a national consensus on his Tha Carter IV album, which sits atop the Billboard albums chart for the second week in a row.

Team Obama must know it’s in real trouble when even the loyal White House press corps can no longer swallow the administration’s spin with a straight face. At today’s White House briefing, for example, CBS correspondent Norah O’Donnell asked press secretary Jay Carney if the president’s recent “jobs tour,” which features stops in key swings states like Virginia, Ohio and North Carolina, is in fact… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Corner Discovery Date : 13/09/2011 21:28 Number of articles : 2
Today (September 12th), TheUrbanDaily (and its sister sites in the InteractiveOne family) presented questions to a panel of White House administration representatives. At the end of the hour-long event, President Barack Obama made a surprise appearance and outlined his plans to help African Americans seeking jobs. President Obama also spoke briefly about the importance of the online community, because it allows a “two-way conversation.” Thanks to those of you who submitted questions and comments via Facebook and Twitter to the White House.

In this week’s address, President Obama marked the 10th anniversary of the September 11th attacks and paid tribute to the first responders, those serving our nation in the military, and those who lost their lives on that tragic day. He says, “A decade after 9/11, it’s clear for all the world to see—the terrorists who attacked us that September morning are no match for the character of our people,… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Kicking Ass Discovery Date : 10/09/2011 17:45 Number of articles : 2
As horrific as 9/11 was for all of us, can you imagine what it must have been like to the George Bush on that morning?? As the president’s personal photographer and head of the White House Photo Office, Eric Draper was with President George W. Bush for nearly every day of his eight-year term, often just a few feet away. On the morning of September 11, 2001, he was there, too. “My job was to document the president, to follow him everywhere,” Draper told CNN in an exclusive interview. “But I had no idea what stories, what events would play out … September 11 changed everything.” Draper, a former newspaper and wire photographer who is now a freelancer based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, ended up at President Bush’s side on that fateful day and made some of the most iconic and memorable images of the president as the tragedy unfolded.

President Obama is taking the American Jobs Act (AJA) on the road to the people with whom it will resonate most: the currently unemployed; young people in college facing a slow jobs market; and veterans back home looking for work. He is at his best in this environment. It’s what I wish he would have done more of during the horrid debt-ceiling debate. He’s not out there peddling high hopes, either….

Hey, at least a drama on NBC is receiving attention. Multiple women’s groups are taking issue with that network’s The Playboy Club , a new series that premieres on September 19 and focuses on the exclusive, 1960s-based establishment in the title. The Playboy Club Promo The San Francisco Commission on the Status of Women, for example, urges NBC and its affiliates to “replace the program with a series that depicts women’s substantive achievements,” as President Kay Gulbengay says it’s an “insult to the legacy” of civil rights leaders to air The Playboy Club (while admitting she hasn’t watched it). Gloria Steinham has also pushed for a boycott of the program, while the NBC affiliate in Salt Lake City refuses to air it. What do you think? Is The Playboy Club an affront to women?
