During Wednesday’s GOP presidential debate, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told Politico moderator John Harris that he believes the media want to encourage infighting among Republicans in order to smooth the way for President Obama’s reelection. Gingrich stated: “I for one and I hope that all of my friends up here are going to repudiate every effort of the news media to get Republicans to fight… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Blaze Discovery Date : 08/09/2011 02:56 Number of articles : 2

Is this the end?? Libya’s former rebels have surrounded the ousted dictator Moammar Khadafy, and it is only a matter of time until he is captured or killed, a spokesman for Tripoli’s new military council said Wednesday. Anis Sharif would not say where Khadafy had been found, but said he was still in Libya and had been tracked using high technology and human intelligence. Khadafy is trapped within a 40-mile-radius area surrounded by rebels, he said. “He can’t get out,” said Sharif, who added the former rebels are preparing to either detain him or kill him. Locating Khadafy would help seal the new rulers’ hold on the country. The announcement after convoys of Khadafy loyalists, including his security chief, fled across the Sahara into Niger in a move that Libya’s former rebels hoped could help lead to the surrender of his last strongholds. Some former rebels depicted the flight to Niger as a major exodus of Khadafy’s most hardcore backers. But confirmed information on the number and identity of those leaving was scarce given the vast swath of desert — over 1,000 miles — between populated areas on the two sides of the border. In Niger’s capital, Niamey, Massoudou Hassoumi, a spokesman for the president said Khadafy’s security chief had crossed the desert into Niger on Monday accompanied by a major Tuareg rebel. “Frizz-head, we’re coming to get you,” some chanted, using a now-commonly heard insult for Khadafy. Looks like the book is about to close on the man that Libyans call “Frizz head” Source
The labor crowd loved Obama’s big government message in Detroit. Barack Obama urged Republicans today to put aside party differences and support his latest infrastructure spending plan. Because not supporting new spending is partisan politics.

Great. They’re calling for open violence against tea party activists at Obama’s rally and at Biden’s rally they’re calling the opposition “barbarians.” It must be more of the new tone we were promised.

David Lauren, son of Ralph Lauren, and Lauren Bush, niece of George W. Bush, were married Sunday in a lavish ceremony in Colorado, according to reports. After meeting in 2004 and getting engaged last year, Bush, 27, and Lauren, 39, exchanged vows at the designer’s 17,000-acre ranch in the Rocky Mountains. Though David Lauren and Lauren Bush’s actual ceremony took place on Sunday, the entire holiday weekend was built around wedding festivities. Among the 200 attendees were the bride’s aunt and uncle, former President George W. and First Lady Laura Bush, as well as cousins Jenna and Barbara Bush. Lauren’s grandparents, former President George H.W. and Barbara Bush, were unable to attend but sent a video message, reports th e New York Post. The groom’s sister, Dylan’s Candy Bar owner Dylan Lauren, attended, and Ivanka Trump Tweeted she was there as well. Sounds like a star-studded affair. Fun fact? The bride will now go by Lauren Bush-Lauren. Congrats! [Photo: WENN.com]
Awwww, pobrecita Sarah : Republicans have seemingly grown tired of Sarah Palin’s teasing about running for President, and have decided she should just stay out of it. A shocking 71% say the former reality TV star should not run for the White House in 2012, according to a Fox News poll. Only 25% of those asked the question, “Do you think Sarah Palin should run for president in 2012 or not?” responded “Yes.” Another 4% said “Don’t Know.” Of those who identified themselves as Tea Partiers, 66% said Palin should not run. Only 28% said she should, while 5% said they didn’t know. The poll comes after the half-term ex-Alaskan governor teased Iowa with an appearance at a poorly-attended Tea Party rally where she once again refused to say if she was going to join the race for Commander in Chief. Palin was quick to brush off the poll, ironically conducted by the same news network that often champions her as a contributor. “Polls? Nah… they’re for strippers and cross country skiers,” she said over the weekend. SMH. Source
Tea Party leader Sen. Jim DeMint on Sunday dismissed President Barack Obama’s jobs speech four days ahead of its scheduled delivery. “I’m, frankly, very tired of speeches. I don’t want to be disrespectful to the president, but what I want to see is something in writing,” the South Carolina Republican told ABC’s “This Week.” “If he’ll send a written proposal, I’ll give it every chance. But I’m not interested in his speech right now.” Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress, in which he will shift his attention to job creation, is anticipated to be one of the most important speeches of his presidency. But Republicans are less than eager to hear it. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) rejected Obama’s request to deliver the speech Wednesday, citing scheduling issues, and insisted he come Thursday instead. Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.), an outspoken House freshman, announced that he is skipping Obama’s speech altogether. DeMint’s resistance to Obama’s jobs plan goes so far as to include opposition to tax cuts and business tax credits, a remarkable turnaround for a political party that has for decades pushed for exactly that. “The things that have been leaking out of the White House, none of them are like what I’ve been hearing from businesses all over the country,” DeMint said. “You know, extending unemployment [insurance], cutting payroll taxes, offering tax credits when you hire someone, I haven’t heard one business say things like this.” Rather, DeMint argued, business want the government to oppose unions and eliminate regulations, which he said would create “certainty.” “What they want is some certainty. They want the regulators off their back. They want the National Labor Relations Board to stop pushing the union agenda and try to help companies that create jobs. So I don’t think the president is going to come out with things that are really going to create jobs,” DeMint said. A nationwide survey of small business owners by McClatchy, however, found that most small business owners want no such thing. Source
[ VIDEO ] Hmmm, I wonder what this says about his presidency. A disturbed 17 News Facebook friend posted picture taken in the bathroom of a restaurant in Bakersfield. It shows a sticker, with a picture of the President, firmly affixed to a porcelain potty. Some think he’s a political whiz, but perhaps this isn’t what they had mind. “It’s a cartoon. It’s a parody. It’s humor,” said customer Dave Nance…. Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : It’s My Mind Discovery Date : 03/09/2011 17:21 Number of articles : 2
