Obama gets blasted as 'worst President' ever
Well, we wondered who would be the first public figure to call Barack Obama “the worst president in history” — an appellation applied to most White House occupants at one time or another.
We just didn’t think it would be Dan Quayle’s son.
Ben Quayle, 33, who is seeking the Republican nomination for a U.S. House seat in Arizona, has cut a commercial denouncing Obama, as...

Ban on gay marriage overturned
Appeal promised after federal judge finds state’s Prop. 8 unconstitutional.
A federal judge declared California’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional Wednesday, saying that no legitimate state interest justified treating gay and lesbian couples differently from others and that “moral disapproval” was not enough to save the voter-passed Proposition 8.

Obama and Wife Accused of Becoming King and Queen of America
Barack and Michelle Obama are entitled to vacations, but they are not King, Queen or royalty such as the King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain. The Obamas should remember that US families are suffering from the horrible economy.
The last time I checked, the United States of America was a constitutional republic with three co-equal branches of government. Obviously, the President and his wife missed...

MSNBC: Scaring White People For Fun And Profit
Just for a second, imagine a news segment titled…
“Scaring Brown People For Fun And Profit” OR “Scaring Black People For Fun And Profit”
Never would you see either of these because each would be considered extremely racist. But, sadly, it’s considered perfectly OK to mock Whites in this way (MSNBC encourages White mocking/bashing).
In this piece, Rachel Maddow laughs...
