Election time means one important thing: crazy ass campaign videos. Here I’ve been lamenting over the loss of Herman Cain and all those ideas “swirrrrlin’” around his head while forgetting that the Republican Hydra has more visionaries ready to take his place. Read the rest of this entry »

To have your support reciprocated by the President is an honor that comes along once in a lifetime. Janelle Monáe captured lightning in a bottle recently during a re-election rally at the University of Illinois when President Obama acknowledged her presence and performance with his traditional candor and humor.

Ever since we smelled what Barack was cooking back in late 2008, any type of odd commodity you can think of has been created to try and capitalize off of the unparalleled hype behind our 44th President. There has been everything from outrageous rap spin-offs and a clothing line, to gas stations and blow-up dolls with his unofficial seal of approval. Read the rest of this entry »

Campaign season brings out the best, worst and darkest sides out of people. Politics is a dog-eat-dog world, and if a certain candidate isn’t strong both mentally and logically, jumpoffs from years past are almost certain to 187 Presidential aspirations. Except for President Obama, he’ll just let his alter ego Baracka Flocka Flame do all the dirty work. Read the rest of this entry »

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Obama makes a speech about inequality in education. White guy responds with long-winded essay on how he would be able to succeed if he were Black because of his ability to pull himself up by his loafer-straps. Here’s a snippet: Read the rest of this entry »

Washington Post:

“President Obama hasn’t hid his desire for the NBA lockout to end, but he is taking advantage of the league’s work stoppage by luring some of the game’s top stars to participate in a fundraising game on Dec. 12 in the District.

“Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Chris Bosh, Blake Griffin and Wizards guard John Wall are among the players who have committed to play, according to the Obama campaign Web site. Tickets for the first “Obama Classic” start at $100 and courtside seats can be purchased for $5,000.

“Proceeds from the game will go to the Obama Victory Fund to support the president’s 2012 reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said both the venue and Obama’s participation in the event have yet to be determined.”

Frequent Twitter enough and you’ll see at least one celebrity death become a trending topic once weekly. For July 4th, Fox News’ Twitter account generates the rumored death of a prominent figure: our nation’s President. While most Americans slept, a hacker under the title of @TheScriptKiddie somehow logged into the verified @FoxNewsPolitics and posted messages stating President Obama was “shot twice…in Iowa.”

Hacked or perhaps drunk tweeting at the time, it looks as if the tweets are still visible at the time of this post and the Fox folks haven’t had the decency to delete the messages yet.

You stay classy, Fox.

Later this evening, the President will be updating the nation on his plan to remove 30,000 troops from Afghanistan by September 2012. Expect backlash, outrage and extreme criticism to follow. Imagine if President Barack could do to Congress what he did to this baby. Read the rest of this entry »

Somewhere in Bill O’Reilly’s diary there’s a passage that looks something like “Democrats > rap artists (but just by a hair).” Until today, I had never heard Bill praise or even say anything that could be misconstrued as being vaguely positive about a Dem, much less President Barack Obama. But, I guess he’ll go to any and all lengths possible to discredit the outspoken Lupester, even if it means commending the President. Read the rest of this entry »

The satirical aspect of the joke seems to be lost on Americans these days. Especially among politicians. The GOP have made it their life’s mission out of handpicking candidates of the malapropos variety, even the entertainment they book manages to disrupt their functions. Read the rest of this entry »
