Obama is President Number 44!!! In the spirit of his election, i am republishing a list of Obama’s top 10 tv moments as found on a tubecount post. (See original post for the authors comments on each video as well).
This well arranged list includes moments of laugter, heartfelt speech, and of course the middle ground of a well prepared President-to-be.
Palin was pranked by a Canadian radio station last night. The matter was reported by credible sources such as the MSNBC (Associated Press report) and commented upon by several blogs.
The prank comes at a critical time, when we are all counting down the hours to the US election, costing the Republicans much needed votes at the last minute. The matter is expected to receive significant coverage in Monday’s papers, and effect undecided voters.
Barack Obama knows nothing of the alleged immigration status of his aunt, known as “the illegal aunt” but believes that all appropriate laws should apply to her. With Republicans and media digging deep in the final hours to find a scandal wherever it may lie, the Obama camp seems unshaken with these stories. And if Obama has a relative who is trying hard to live the American dream- so what? The law is the law and that’s that!
Reuters – Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obamaknows nothing about the status of a Kenyan relative reported to be living in the United States illegally but believes “all appropriate laws should be followed,” his campaign said on Saturday.
The Obama campaign responded to an Associated Press report that Obama’s aunt had been ordered to leave the country four years ago by an immigration judge who rejected her request for asylum from her native Kenya.
Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska has been found guilty of lying to the senate about gifts received by contractor Bill Allen. The oil services company gave $250,000 in gifts (at least that was what was officially uncovered) to the Senator. It is interesting to see what sort of punishment the Senator will actually get…
AP: Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, was convicted on all seven charges of making false statements on Senate financial documents about gifts he received from contractor Bill Allen, oil services company VECO Corp., and others.
The Hill: Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Senate Republican in history and patriarch of Alaska politics, was found guilty of felony charges for making false statements.The verdict could spell the end of a 40-year Senate career for a man who rose to be one of the most dominant figures in the upper chamber and who helped transform Alaska in its 50 years of statehood. The verdict was reached after the jury deliberated since Wednesday and found the 84-year-old senator guilty of failing to report more than $250,000 in gifts from Bill Allen, the former head of Veco Corp., and other friends.
The authorities have stopped two skinheads from carrying out a planned assassination attempt on Barrack Obama, just a few days before the Election which will determine whether Obama will be the first Black President of the United States of America. With a strong lead of nearly 10% in the polls, an assassination attempt on Obama is the fear of many and unfortunately the dreadful desire of a few.
AP: Law enforcement agents have broken up a plot by two neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and shoot or decapitate 88 black people, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives said Monday.
In court records unsealed Monday in U.S. District Court in Jackson, Tenn., federal agents said they disrupted plans to rob a gun store and target a predominantly African-American high school in a murder spree that was to begin in Tennessee. Agents said the skinheads did not identify the school by name.
o Larry Flynt, porn mogul is launching a film entitled “Who’s Nailin’ Palin”. A teaser of the film was leaked on you-tube last night, but was pulled by this morning by claims of copyright by the Larry Flynt Productions company.
This kind of thing is absolutely terrible. Palin is absolutely not suitable for the VP position in my opinion, but making porn to ridicule her is absolutely ridiculous. And yes, Flynt will probably be sued and fined and all kinds of things, but unfortunately this will only increase the spread of the film- not to mention sell more of the merchandise he has branded with her face.
I just don’t think (or at least i’d like to hope) something like this could ever happen in Europe. It’s shameful.
On second thought, I really wonder how this will affect her ratings…
Buzz, USA- Larry Flynt, the founder of the Hustler empire, released a teaser for his porn film Who’s Nailin’ Palin? There’s also a website devoted entirely to memorabilia stamped with Palin’s face and the acronym VPILF (you can work that one out) – which includes, jarringly, a maternity T-shirt.
Independent, UK- It was inevitable but the first (work safe) teaser for Sarah Palin-inspired porn flick ‘Who’s Nailin’ Palin’ is proving a huge success on YouTube. The brief clip shows a Palin lookalike improving diplomatic relations with a pair of Russians.
