Michelle Obama Hits Up Lettermen then heads to Fundraiser In Tribeca /

Like always, Michelle Obama is standing by her man. Yesterday, the first lady stopped by David Letterman to record an episode of the Late Night Show, to be aired later in the week. While I don't expect any hardcore political smackdowns from the first lady, it was interesting to watch her take a swing at Congress on behalf of her husband. Take a look!


NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 19: First Lady Michelle Obama leaves 'Late Show with David Letterman' at Ed Sullivan Theater on March 19, 2012 in New York City.
Immediately following her stint with Lettermen, Mrs. Obama was photographed heading to Tribeca, New York where she met up with A-list celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Robert DeNiero, Beyonce Knowles and Ben Stiller for an Obama re-election fundraiser. The first lady showed up to the event around 9 p.m. in a stunning black and silver, sleeveless gown.

Other guests included Lauren Santo Domingo and the infamous Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour. Beyonce showed up with her mother and mother-in-law.

Ann Romney: "I Don't Consider Myself Wealthy" (she could be your next first lady) /


Ann Romney says that being worth $200 million isn't considered wealthy-- okay, okay, okay, that's not really what she said, however it is the way it's being reported. I have to say that liberals have taken Ms. Romney's comments completely out of context. I believe it was a failed attempt to sound normal and un-rich--again, failed attempt. Do I feel sorry for the Romney campaign, for the beating that they're taking as a result of Ann's comment? Nope. Republicans did the same thing to Michelle Obama in 2008. Remember this comment?

Obama's Approval Rating Shoots Up, While Republicans Duke It Out For His Job /


If you enjoy seeing Obama's oversized, pearly white smile, there has never been a better time to catch it than now! While Republicans continue going after one another in an attempt to win their party's nomination for president, President Obama sits comfortably at a 50 percent approval rating--up from 43 percent. Obama's upswing has a lot to do with the improving economy. Last month, applications for unemployment fell to a four-year low, the economy expanded by 2.8 percent, and the unemployment rate fell to 8.3 percent--a two-year low. The graph below shows that Obama crushes the competition when put in a head-to-head match up with any of the GOP contenders, including Mitt Romney.

California Courts Say Prop 8 Unconstitutional, Republican Candidates Respond /

Yesterday, presidential candidate Rick Santorum responded to the California Supreme Court decision to overturn Prop 8 (the law that took away same-sex marriage rights from Californians, after it was already legal there). Somehow Santorum thinks that the courts are ignoring 4,000 years if history (the Bible). Santorum still doesn’t get the fact that his religious history, thoughts and interpretations of the Holy Bible may be different from the next Christian—that in fact it is him who is trying to impose his anti-gay sentiments onto an entire country that overwhelmingly supports marriage equality. In this video, Santorum, no doubt, is speaking from the heart—however, if you take into account the U.S. Constitution and our certain ‘inalienable rights,’ all you can do is shake your damn head at Mr. Santorum.

President Obama Launches 'African Americans for Obama' /

Perhaps I'm wrong for this, but I question any black person in this country--Democrat or Republican--who doesn't support this black man for president. I mean, I could see if it were Jesse Jackson or Rev. Al (I love them both, but they're completely out of step with mainstream America), but this man is smart and intelligent, and furthermore, his policies benefit "99 percent" of our country's population. Am I ingnorant for thinking that every black person in America (the descendents of slaves) should support Obama for president? Sound off.

P.S. Here's some footage of Kerry Washington volunteering at the Obama campaign headquaters in Miami. Got to love her!

Bad Blood In the GOP? Newt Refuses to Congratulate Mitt On Florida Win /


Mitt Romney771,84246.4%
Newt Gingrich531,29431.9%
Rick Santorum222,24813.4%
Ron Paul116,7767%
Other21,5381.3%
The bad blood between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney was boiling last night as Romney claimed his second primary victory in Florida. It is standard protocol in politics for the person who loses the race to call the winner and congratulate them on their victory—it’s a way to keep the game from getting too nasty. During his concession speech, Gingrich refused to concede the race—never mentioning Romney’s victory. Gingrich has vowed to stay in the race, refusing to give Romney and easy win. The Obama campaign couldn’t be happier about Gingrich’s pledge. See, the longer Gingrich stays in the race, the more he bashes Romney, therefore softening him up for the general election. Even though Mitt Romney will more than likely be the nominee, it is amazing to watch his favorability ratings drop with each ad that Gingrich releases. Gingrich’s so called concession speech is below.

A Confident, Borderline Cocky Obama Delivers SOTU--Ehanced Video Inside /

A different Obama showed up to last night’s State of the Union address. Obama stood in front of a joint session of Congress and chastised them on their inaction, since 2010. The peacemaker-in-chief still managed to extend an olive branch to his Republican friends but he also warned that if Congress refuses to act, then he will use the powers of the executive branch to boost the American economy. The president mentioned that he would send a bill to Congress that would reduce the mortgage costs of Americans by $3,000 a year, by allowing all homeowners to refinance their homes at record-low interest rates. The president also took on colleges—the president warned colleges during his hour and five minute speech. He said that if colleges do not find a way to bring tuition prices down then he would decrease the amount of federal funding that they receive—they can’t have both. The President also spent time touting his accomplishments—he mentioned Osama bin Laden as well as his decision to save the American auto industry. Below is an advanced video that the White House uploaded last night, illustrating each message in the President’s speech.

Obama Perpetuates Another Stereotype—All Black People Can Sing … /

On last night, the President attended a fundraiser in Harlem, NY at the Apollo Theatre, where he was the guest of honor. To help raise campaign funds, the DNC enlisted the Rev. Al Green—executor of all baby-making music. Well anyway, President Obama acknowledged how lucky he was—having Green open up for him—by giving a 2-second rendition of one of Green’s classics—surprisingly enough, he actually sounded great! It leads us to wonder, is there anything this man can’t do?
We couldn’t have been the only ones shocked by the President’s pipes?   
Watch the President's entire speech after the jump.

Mitt Romney Edges Out A Win In Iowa Despite Santorum Surge /


At 12:40 a.m. this morning the race for the Republican nomination for president was still too close to call. There was no surprise that Mitt Romney (left) made it to the final finish, but his challenger was a surprise to everyone outside the state of Iowa. At the last minute, Rick Santorum (right)surged ahead of all of the other GOP candidates to end up on the hems of Romney—who has managed to maintain front runner status since the beginning of the race. The Romney campaign should rightfully claim victory for their win in Iowa, but it would behoove them to acknowledge last night’s real winner—Rick Santorum. For someone like Santorum (who came from single-digit poll numbers) to come that close (eight votes) to beating someone who has managed to hold on to their front-runner status since the beginning of the campaign is the ultimate momentum builder, and that, the Romney campaign should be very afraid of. Take a look at Rick Santorum’s pretty powerful speech last night, before Mitt Romney was named Iowa’s Republican pick.

Mitt Romney spoke shortly after Santorum, giving a very combative and arrogant speech—targeting President Obama.
With unemployment numbers at a two-and-a-half-year low and 20 straight months of private sector job growth—I’m not sure the anti-Obama message that Romney’s spewing is going resonate with many Americans in the general election. Your thoughts?
