President Obama delivers with a kiss…

The ReadyWriter

President Obama was booed last night as he and First Lady Michelle Obama were watching the USA vs. Brazil men’s basketball exhibition and the arena’s “Kiss Cam” spotlighted them during the second quarter. The crowd booed Obama for failing to kiss the First Lady for the crowd.

But the fine ass President of the United States had a much better second half and second chance. The First Couple got another shot on the “Kiss Cam” during the fourth quarter and this time the President’s smooch was a success (above).

The crowd responded with a thunderous cheer, and a pro-Obama chant of “Four more years!” could be heard throughout the arena.

Aw, the power of real love.

Betty White Endorses Barack Obama for re-election!

The ReadyWriter

The 90-year-old “Golden Girl” very much favors President Obama for a second term.

Although White said she generally stays away from politics to avoid alienating any of her fans but said, she likes what Obama has done and “how he represents us.”

White continues to land starring roles and earn comedic kudos in a career that spans nearly three-quarters of a century. In 2010, the “Hot in Cleveland” star became the oldest person to host “Saturday Night Live,” an appearance that earned White her seventh Emmy.

Betty White is the latest in a series of celebrities to back the President.

More than 150 stars, including actors Robert Downey Jr., Tobey Maguire, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal, Salma Hayek and Jack Black attended a $40,000-a-person fund-raiser for Obama at George Clooney’s Los Angeles mansion last Thursday.

For those of you who truly know me, knows…the Golden Girls is one of my favorite shows in syndication. 🙂

President Obama Endorses Gay Marriage…Mm

The ReadyWriter

President Barack Obama is expected to make a statement endorsing gay marriage in America in his statements today. Sounds like the president caved under pressure from special interest groups and gay rights organizations in an effort to win re-election.

Update: Here is the statement that Obama made endorsing gay marriage just moments ago during an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts.

OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.

Wow I’m shocked that the president went this route in an effort to win a re-election. Bush denounced same-sex marriage and was still re-elected and I can respect that but President Obama’s decision seem desperate and morally unethical!!!

President Obama looking kind-of worn, as Secret Service Scandal rocks his administration…

The ReadyWriter

When President Obama’s secret service detail arrived in Cartagena, Columbia ahead of his visit for an international summit, instead of focusing on securing his safety they ordered up prostitutes for pleasure. At least twelve (12) secret service agents took prostitutes back to their hotel rooms.

The hotel requires that all guests leave an ID at the front desk and when one of the women and agent had not retrieved their ID, a hotel employee went to the room to find them fighting over her fee.

On Sunday, President Obama called for a “thorough” and “rigorous” investigation following the scandal surrounding the Secret Service officials tasked with his protection.

“What happened here in Colombia is being investigated by the director of the Secret Service. “I expect that investigation to be thorough and I expect it to be rigorous,” the president told reporters in his first public reaction to the controversy.

But according to Ron Kessler, the author who broke the Secret Service prostitution story in the Washington Post over the weekend, “There’s nothing to wait for, the action that’s needed is replacement of the Secret Service director because it’s really President Obama’s life that is at stake.”

I agree don’t you?

Baltimore Mayor Dismisses Jada Pinkett-Smith

The ReadyWriter

Jada Pinkett Smith wrote a letter to the mayor of her hometown Baltimore, Maryland (Stephanie Rawlings Blake), on behalf of PeTA advocates for elephants. Jada was urging the Mayor to make sure the Ringling Bros. Barnum Bailey Circus complies with the Baltimore ban on bull hooks.

“Unlike me and other actors, elephants do not choose to perform. These endangered elephants will soon be in your jurisdiction. My friends at PETA and I join animal advocates across the state in asking for your leadership in holding Ringling accountable and requiring the circus to comply with Baltimore’s absolute prohibition of the use of devices such as bull hooks.”

Well, the Maryland’s mayor’s attitude was like “is she serious?” and never even responded to Jada’s letter. The Maryland mayor issued the following statement to a local television station instead:

“We’ve reached out about homelessness, school issues and serious issues of that nature. I would have loved to have gotten some feedback, support or concerns about that. Those are very pressing issues to the city.”

Mayor Stephanie concluded with, “how she’s liked the circus every since she was a little girl and couldn’t wait to take her daughter.”
