It would seem that the only "Greens" that the First Family is comfortable dining on, is the green from OUR wallets that feed their corrupt friends, family, staff and their lavish lifestyle.First Lady Michelle Obama Sunday night stuffed about 2,200 calories worth of dinner into the nation’s governors, hosting a White House bash that pulled few punches on the fattening front despite her profile as the leader of a national crusade to trim the waistlines of the country’s youth.
President Obama is meeting with governors from both Parties at the White House today. Sunday night’s dinner was a kind of welcoming gala. It provided enough calories for an entire day’s worth of eating.
What’s worse, several governors clearly are not malnourished and might have done well without dinner altogether.
Mrs. Obama is leading the “Let’s Move” campaign – which might also be known as the “Do as I say and Not as I Do” campaign – to reduce childhood obesity.
The first lady has not been shy about demonstrating her contention that healthy eating needs to balanced by some old fashioned cheating. She was seen just last weekend in Colorado chowing on a buffalo rib and has been photographed savoring cones and sundaes at ice cream ice cream shops from Panama City, Fla. to Marbella, Spain.
Sunday, she served the governors beef instead of chicken, threw in some fattening plaintain chips even though she already had a side of black beans and rice for them, added an unnecessary dollop of honey to the tropical fruit dish, and dropped the coconut sorbet – otherwise not a bad dessert choice – into a “chocolate shell.”
"They go in with guns into hospitals," said the resident, identified only as Adel to protect his safety. "They take the bodies that are dead. In some hospitals, they have shot the wounded. This is true. I know it's very strange for the States, but this is happening today in Tripoli."Outrage from Chicago Jesus in 5,4,3,2,Oh never mind, he is only to be bothered if there is a threat to union money propping up his 2012 campaign.
Because the situation in Libya is growing more dangerous day by day and reporting from the country is difficult for Western journalists, the statements Adel made to CBS Radio News could not be independently verified.
In one example of the violence in Libya, Adel said he saw 62 protesters killed and about 100 more wounded in Tripoli's Green Square Tuesday.
"They're putting the bodies on half pickup trucks, and they're taking them somewhere we don't know yet because they don't want these bodies to go into hospitals," Adel said.
That's not the only action being taken to cover up what is happening in the capital, Adel said. Armed pro-government supporters Thursday were forcing people to help clean up parts of downtown Tripoli and paint buildings.
"There are some streets where he's using the people in the houses; if they don't go out, he will shoot them with gunpoint to do that," Adel said.
What the protesters want most from the international community is the establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya, Adel said.
"The guys are using helicopter gun ships to shoot people, shooting not bombing," Adel said. "It is terrifying. It takes a lot of pushing your guts to go out, but you have to."
The situation in Tripoli continues to deteriorate, Adel said. Because shops are running low on basic supplies, lines more than 1,000 yards long form outside bakeries that do have food to sell.
"It's very unsafe," Adel said. "They have cars where mercenaries are shooting at random. Trying to keep a low profile, only at night do we move out to do the demonstrations."
One thing protesters reportedly face is so-called thugs being flown in from other countries. Adel said he noticed increased activity at the air base near where he lives.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi considers the US president a blessing to the Muslim world. In a speech published in London-based al-Hayat newspaper on Saturday, Gaddafi praised Barack Obama, called him a "friend" and said there is no longer any dispute between his country and the US.
Birds of a Feather
Speaking in the Libyan city of Sirt at an event marking the 24th anniversary of an American attack on Libya, he said, "At the time, we were the target of the American cannon, the American navy challenged us in the gulf of Sirt and attacked us all along Libya's shores. America tested Libya, and the Libyan people resisted the large country, but today, thank God, the difference is great."
He said, "Now, ruling America is a black man from our continent, an African from Arab descent, from Muslim descent, and this is something we never imagined – that from Reagan we would get to Barakeh Obama."Let us not forget the fact that Obama has not mentioned his friend Gaddafi by name when condemning the violence in Libya...Makes you wonder what Chicago Jesus has in store for us when we toss his ass out of the White House in 2012??
Gaddafi stressed that Obama's presidency is "a major historical gain" and said, "He is someone I consider a friend. He knows he is a son of Africa. Regardless of his African belonging, he is of Arab Sudanese descent, or of Muslim descent. He is a man whose policy should be supported, and he should be assisted in implementing it in any way possible, since he is now leaning towards peace."
This comes as a surprise? The Obama administration has no limit on it's dishonest behavior, yet the Liberal left still wants to bring up meetings held by Cheney, and THIS is what Obama meant by getting the lobbyists out of government?Caught between their boss’ anti-lobbyist rhetoric and the reality of governing, President Barack Obama’s aides often steer meetings with lobbyists to a complex just off the White House grounds — and several of the lobbyists involved say they believe the choice of venue is no accident.
It allows the Obama administration to keep these lobbyist meetings shielded from public view — and out of Secret Service logs kept on visitors to the White House and later released to the public.
“They’re doing it on the side. It’s better than nothing,” said immigration reform lobbyist Tamar Jacoby, who has attended meetings at the nearby Jackson Place complex and believes the undisclosed gatherings are better than none.The White House scoffs at the notion of an ulterior motive for scheduling meetings in what are, after all, meeting rooms. But at least four lobbyists who’ve been to the conference rooms just off Lafayette Square tell POLITICO they had the distinct impression they were being shunted off to Jackson Place — and off the books — so their visits wouldn’t later be made public.
Obama’s administration has touted its release of White House visitors logs as a breakthrough in transparency, as the first White House team to reveal the comings and goings around the West Wing and the Old Executive Office Building.
From the Politico:
The only thing missing is a picture of Pelosi with her arm in a sling from patting herself on the back!
The Democratic National Committee wanted to honor Nancy Pelosi Thursday -- but its praise wasn't good enough for the House minority leader.
When the DNC's Resolutions Committee brought up a resolution commemorating Pelosi's years as speaker of the House, Pelosi's daughter sought to alter the proposal at her mother's behest, adding some of the accomplishments that the elder Pelosi felt the committee had overlooked.
"I have some friendly amendments," said Christine Pelosi, a political strategist, at the committee's session during the DNC Winter Meeting at the Marriott Wardman Park hotel Thursday afternoon. She is a member of the committee.
"You think I'm kidding," Christine Pelosi added, to surprised laughter from the room. The proposed changes, she indicated, came out of a discussion with her mother.
From Michelle Malkin:
The Gunny has come to the conclusion that Obama, the Meddler in the White House, as Michael Savage calls him, is a liar, a scumbag, and something less than what the Gunny steps into while hiking in the woods! But moreover, the derision and contempt that the Gunny has for the black racists, affirmative action RINO morons like Colin Powell, stupid white liberals, and asshats like David "I like the crease in his pants" Brooks, who voted for this polished turd in the White House, is deeply felt. You are little more than traitors and the Gunny hopes that the lowest level in Hell is your eternal reward. You bastards deserve little else.Once again, check out what the Gunny has to say!
The Community Organizer sends the First Grifter and his grubs off to Vail, he "coaches" one of the grub’s basketball team, while all hell is breaking loose around the world. The First Wookie shoves ribs down her neck in Vail while telling the rest of us to eat berries, roots, tree bark, tofu, etc. To the woman who looks like a Cape Buffalo from behind, the Gunny would say to her face, "piss off."
Many of the 65 million morons, idiots, simpletons, and nitwits were lied to by Obama. They are to blame because they are WILLFULLY IGNORANT! The information on this rabble rousing anti-American Kenyan Usurper WAS THERE for the reading. You DO NOT hire a burger-flipper to run a nuclear power plant do you? Then WHY IN THE HELL would you elect an idiot so devoid of experience to run the nation and represent America to the world? WHY? The Gunny would wholeheartedly SUPPORT the impeachment of this shitbird. He meddles in Wisconsin, calls the Tea Party anti-Americans, and then rushes to support the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD in Egypt! It is high time to call it like it is. Barack Hussein Obama was elected because he is 1/8th black and has the required skin tone to please the tribalistic blacks (who heap scorn on black Conservatives) as well as making guilty white libvermin happy! In truth, America was sold a pig-in-a-poke. A snake oil salesman. A bullshit moderate who is so far to left as to make Lenin look middle-of-the-road! And you who voted for him deserve to be rounded up and run out of this country. You will forever be seen as traitors in the eyes of the Gunny. It is his skin tone and the race card that will prevent him from being impeached and the gutless GOP won’t even get close to touching that lightning rod.
"This is a scheduling issue. The president will meet with Secretary of State Clinton this afternoon. We will have something to say out of that meeting. If possible, the President will speak this afternoon or tomorrow," White House press secretary Jay Carney said of President Obama's lack of response to the crisis in Libya.

| Scheduling Issue |
As bad as the WikiLeaks scandal is for the future of trust between the US and governments throughout the world that must rely on American intelligence security, for supporters of the Jewish state, the more than 800,000 leaked classified US documents and 250,000 State Department cables lend credence and support to positions taken by the Israeli government. In fact, many observers agree that Israel is one of the few countries in the world that actually stands to benefit from the WikiLeaks revelations. In contrast to Arab and even American leaders, Israeli officials have taken the same positions privately and publicly on issues such as Iran.
The leaks prove, however, that there is a great disparity between the messages Arab leaders give to their masses and what they say in private. Worse, the leaked documents indicate that President Barack Obama may have intentionally tried to mislead Israel when demanding that the Jewish state make substantial one-sided concessions to the Palestinians in order to gain Arab support to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
No Israeli Warmongering
In addition, WikiLeaks has debunked the theory, promulgated by many left-wing pundits close to the administration, that only Israel is pushing for military action against Iran.
The documents show that Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah is one of several leaders of US allies in the Muslim world who, like Israel itself, has been urging the US to cut Iran down to size.
In 2008, referring to Iran as “evil,” King Abdullah asked the US to “cut off the head of the snake” while there was still time before the completion of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear weapons program.
In a March 2009 discussion with Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki, King Abdullah reportedly said, “You as Persians have no business meddling in Arab matters.” Then the king told White House Counter-terrorism Adviser John Brennan and other US officials, “There is no doubt something unstable about them.”Click on the above link to read the rest of this fascinating story!!!

A full 88% of America is union-free. Yet, despite the fact that the vast majority of American taxpayers do not belong to a union, let alone work for the government, we Americans are being held hostage by a loud and thuggish minority who feel that it is their right to force the vast majority of Americans acquiesce to their demands.
Last week, we learned that the Democrat National Committees’s Organizing for America has been orchestrating and mobilizing the protests going on in Wisconsin. This week, unions across the country are marching on state capitols to show their “solidarity.”
Today, we learn that top AFL-CIO boss Richard Trumka is visiting the White House two to three times per week and speaking with someone in the White House everyday.
Given the calls for a general strike in Wisconsin, the AFL-CIO (and American Left’s) role in the mid-east uprisings, the OFA’s hand in the Wisconsin protests and, now, this admission by the AFL-CIO boss, one cannot help but wonder if, in fact, the Obama administration is engaging in activities to help his union buddies bring about real “transformational” change to America. After all, it does seem that the workers of the world are uniting in a very coincidental way, doesn’t it?
How strangely reminiscent of Hugo Chavez. A cult of personality that will persist forever. Looks like there will be plenty of union people in this "grass roots" campaign.The community organizer who became president has launched a massive pre-reelection year campaign to assemble and train an army of new community organizers to carry Obama’s “movement forward for years to come.”
Community Organizer
Strengthening “our democracy” presumably has something to do with reelecting the revered leader in 2012.
However, the recruiting message says nothing about politics or election campaigns and strangely talks in military terms of “a grassroots program that aims to put boots on the ground and help foster a new generation of leaders — not just to help win elections but to strengthen our democracy in communities across the country.”
The message about what it calls the “Summer Organizing Fellowship” adds: “Effective organizing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It takes commitment, time, and hard work to build a movement around a cause.” It does not specify what the “cause” is, other than promoting Obama and his agenda.
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle have not been invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding.
The Queen personally invited 40 heads of state, who received the gold-embossed invitations over the weekend to the April 29 wedding of the future king.This is Hilarious...
The Obamas, however, were not among them.
Leaders from Commonwealth counties, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand have been invited along with Kings and Queens across Europe, including Spain, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Greece.
Other guests include the King of Jordan, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, the Sultan of Oman, the King of Bahrain, the Sultan of Brunei and the King of Saudi Arabia, the Emperor of Japan, the King of Malaysia, the King of Tonga and the King of Thailand.
Around 1,900 guests will attend the Westminster Abbey ceremony, which will be beamed around the world, and the bride and groom have been allowed to invite more than, 1,000 of their friends.
The invitations, which were posted last week, are on thick white card, bevelled, gilded and stamped with EIIR in gold which has then been burnished.
The President of the United States bows to the world, and the First Lady has to BEG for an invite!!! Given the First Lady's eating habits of pigging out while telling the rest of us what not to eat, the Wedding Cake would most likely be Missing in Action if she were to attend.Michelle Obama is likely to exasperate courtiers with her comments about the royal wedding after they went to such lengths to accommodate the White House.
Even after it was clear that Prince William and Kate Middleton would not be sending a wedding invitation to the White House, Michelle Obama still appears not to have given up hope.
“If I get invited, I’ll go,” the First Lady said on the Live With Regis and Kelly Show on American television. She conceded, however, that, as things stand, she had not been invited.
Her comments are likely to exasperate senior courtiers, who — as I reported on Nov 14 last year — had to put off naming the wedding date until a week after announcing the engagement because White House officials were not at first certain when Barack Obama and his wife would make their first state visit to Britain. Obama’s men, adamant that the two events should not clash, subsequently agreed May 24 to 26, almost a month after the royal wedding, as the dates for his visit.
Sometimes it's necessary to get out on the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.This coming from a man who represents a party that runs and hides in Illinois rather than stay and fight. I'm not too worried about the “bloody thing.” Unions are good at beating up defenseless black guys in wheel chairs and we all know Dems are cowards.
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.
"I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Dorchester Reporter. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."
Political observers have been the lookout for potentially incendiary rhetoric in the wake of January's shooting in Tucson, Ariz., where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) survived an assassination attempt, six were killed, and 12 others were injured.
With the events that have occurred in Egypt, and the fact that Islamists have also taken over the government in Turkey as well as the two warships from Iran planning to enter the Suez Canal enroute to Syria, one could be lead to think that the Islamic world is amassing to launch a war against the Jewish State of Israel.Beirut (AP) – Hezbollah's leader told his Shiite guerrilla group Wednesday to be prepared to invade northern Israel, a day after Israel's defense minister warned that the quiet along the tense border could erupt into violence.
Translated: "We Will Win"
The comments by the two sides illustrate the fragile situation along the frontier since they Israel and Hezbollah fought a bitter, six-week war in the summer of 2006. The war ended in a U.N.-brokered truce but officials on both sides of the border believe it is only a matter of time before hostilities resume.
"I tell the holy warriors of the Islamic Resistance to be ready for a day when, if war is imposed on us, your command might ask you to control the Galilee area," Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech Wednesday. The Galilee refers to land in northern Israel.
In my opinion, any Jew who votes for this anti-Semitic marxist is a self hating Jew. He was silent when true democracy seekers in Iran tried to throw off the yoke of Islamic oppression, has done nothing but give lip service to Iran's development of nuclear weapons, has prevented domestic drilling which would decrease our dependency on mid-east oil(the profits of which are funneled to Islamic terrorists and the mosques that strengthen their ranks), embarrasses the Prime Minister of Israel, ignores the lesson of Egypt that land for peace results in land for a future Islamic republic. He's hell bent on the destruction of America and the Jewish State of Israel, and has demonstrated that he would never help an ally but loves to bend at the knees to our enemies. What more do my fellow Jews need to see from this demonic charlatan before they finally "pull the lever" for a Republican.The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday, according to officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama adminstration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.Still, the U.S. offer signaled a renewed willingness to seek a way out of the current impasse, even if it requires breaking with Israel and joining others in the council in sending a strong message to its key ally to stop its construction of new settlements. U.S. officials were not available for comment, but two Security Council diplomats confirmed the proposal.The Palestinian delegation, along with Lebanon, the Security Council's only Arab member state, asked the council's president late Wednesday to schedule a meeting for Friday. But it remained unclear whether the Palestinian move today to reject the U.S. offer is simply a negotiating tactic aimed at extracting a better deal from Washington.

Chicago mayoral candidate Rahm Emanuel wants to know who’s making fun of him on Twitter.
The former White House Chief of Staff is offering $2,500 to the anonymous author of the parody @MayorEmanuel Twitter account. In return, the author must come forward and reveal his or her true identity. Emanuel says the money will be donated to a charity of @MayorEmanuel’s choosing.
It's been quite an offseason for NASCAR following Jimmie Johnson's fifth consecutive championship. Not only is there a new point system across all three national series, but also added were wild cards in the Chase and drivers have to pick just one series to run for the championship.I am looking forward to a exciting season this year. I hope to see some wins from my boy Jeff Gordon this year, it would certainly be nice to see him in Victory Lane again, I also hope to see some good things from all of the Hendrick Drivers and even Tony Stewart of Stewart/Haas Racing who runs their cars with Hendrick motors in them.

First lady Michelle Obama will be speaking out to remove barriers to breastfeeding, Politics Daily has learned, throwing the spotlight on nursing as a way to reduce childhood obesity.
This comes as the Obama administration in the past year has made several moves to encourage breastfeeding -- including a push for more flexible workplace rules and an Internal Revenue Service ruling on Thursday that breast pumps and other nursing supplies qualify for tax breaks.
Mrs. Obama -- who has spoken in public about nursing her youngest daughter, Sasha -- is going to tread carefully in what might be a sensitive area for some women -- and not use her bully pulpit to directly ask more women to breast feed.

SAN DIEGO - Investigators have identified the taxi driver who crashed into a crowd of people outside a Gaslamp District nightclub Saturday morning.I reported this yesterday...
San Diego police say the cab was driven by 52-year-old Sam Hassan Daly. Aquaintances tell San Diego 6 News he is also known as Osama.
Also Monday, investigators increased the number of people who were injured in the incident to 35.
All of the victims have been released from area hospitals except for a unidentified 45-year-old female whose leg was severed in the crash.
From the San Diego Union-Tribune:
This is very strange. Are we sure he was not upset about the US Embassy Van that hit all those protesters in Egypt! Taking it out on young adult college students is not acceptable!SAN DIEGO — Investigators trying to figure out why a taxi driver plowed into a crowd outside a popular Gaslamp Quarter nightclub early Saturday are wading through varied, and sometimes conflicting, statements from nearly two dozen injured people and numerous witnesses, as well as security camera footage.
“We have to determine exactly what people saw, not what they heard or thought they saw,” said San Diego police traffic Lt. Rick O’Hanlon.
O’Hanlon said investigators are looking into whether the 48-year-old Emerald Cab driver may have fallen asleep as he drove slowly south on Sixth Avenue and veered across a sidewalk, striking pedestrians on the corner of Island Avenue in front of the Stingaree nightclub at 1:54 a.m.
Authorities initially reported 25 injured, six critically. But Saturday afternoon, O’Hanlon reduced the number to 23 injured and described six as being in serious but stable condition. A 42-year-old woman’s leg was amputated below the knee after she was pinned between the cab and a wall, said San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque.
I have noticed that there is little to no reporting on this incident in San Diego by the Mainstream Liberal Government controlled media here in the US. They've kind of stuck it on the back burner. It's as if the media doesn't want us to know anything about this incident....They're treating us like mushrooms, feeding us bullshit and keeping us in the dark.A van which ploughed into crowds of anti-government protesters in Cairo earlier this week might be a diplomatic van owned by America, U.S. officials said today.
They said 20 of the vans had been stolen during a week of upheaval.
The van charge was filmed and posted on YouTube where there have been more than 620,000 views.
The driver seems to be deliberately ramming the vehicle into demonstrators in streets around Cairo's Tahrir Square and their bodies are flung into the air.

Personally, I don't think Obama is an Atheist, I think he's a dyed in the wool, true blue, die hard Muslim. Of course, any and all criticism of Chicago Jesus and any referrences to his choice of religion is attacked as "Racist" due to the fact that Liberals are completely unable to argue the facts before them, so as a only resort, they make the claims that anyone who opposes Obama is simply racist, argument over!President Obama‘s coddling of Islam has many Americans questioning his national-security judgment, if not his intentions. In his administration’s muddled response to the crisis in Egypt, one clear message came from all the president’s men: A new government in Cairo “has to include a whole host of important nonsecular actors,” as stated by White House spokesman Robert L. Gibbs. The hitch is that in the Middle East, nonsecular means radical Islamist, like the Muslim Brotherhood. Now, in the middle of this global clash of civilizations, Mr. Obama‘s own religious disposition is being questioned – and not from the right, but the left.On his HBO show “Real Time” on Friday, host Bill Maher said of Mr. Obama, “I think he’s a centrist the way he’s a Christian – not really. … His mother was a secular humanist and I think he is.” When Princeton University professor Cornel West challenged Mr. Maher‘s point about Mr. Obama‘s religion, saying, “He changed his mind on the God question, brother Bill,” the comic retorted, “It’s like when he says ‘I struggle with gay marriage’ – you don’t struggle with gay marriage, you’re fine with gay marriage.” Another guest – who insisted Mr. Obama has “always been pretty centrist” – helpfully reminded that Mr. Obama “did go to church before he was a candidate for the presidency.” That church, of course, was presided over by the racist, anti-American, hate-spewing Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
