Just watch

The son of the worst Vice President of all time is calling Obama the "Worst President…" that's ironically funny.

What are your thoughts on Obama's overhaul of No Child Left Behind?

I frankly don't feel government needs heavy involvement in education. And I certainly do not think the FEDERAL government really needs to be doing more in the education way when so much else needs to be done. Government could likely improve education by butting out.

British Teen Banned from U.S. After Sending Drunk E-mail to President Obama

Sending drunken e-mails to your friends is embarrassing. Sending drunken e-mails to the President of the United States is a matter of national security.

Seventeen-year old Luke Angel of Bedfordshire, England told British tabloid The Sun that American authorities have barred him from entering the U.S. as a result of a nasty message he sent to the White House.

"I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly—the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few," he said. "The police came and took my picture . . .I don't really care but my parents aren't very happy."

Angel—that really is his last name—said he was inspired by watching a documentary on the 9/11 attacks.

The Telegraph reports that London's Metropolitan Police alerted local law enforcement about the "threatening" message. The natural assumption is that the Met got wind of the incident from officials in the U.S.

A spokeswoman from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security told The Sun there are around 60 reasons a person can be banned from entering the country, but that she was "prohibited from discussing specific cases."

Are you going to vote for Obama in the next election?

I didn't vote for him last time and I'm sure as hell not going to vote for him in the next election.

How about everyone else?

Absodamnlutely.

Unless the Repubs run someone like Sarah Palin or Bobby Jindal I'll probably continue to vote for whichever candidate most closely represents my views. Even if that means I have to write them in.

So far he's the best candidate I've seen. We'll have to see who else runs, but so far, yep.

LOL. Asking that question on a forum that is pro-Obama.

Never!

Why would I? The only reason he's given me to vote for him is that he's not George Bush and that is not good enough for me. As somebody wise once said, just cause you're better than an idiot doesn't mean you're qualified for the job. (Paraphrased by me of course) Given the current declining state of the country, he hasn't even proven he's any better than W. and considering how W. left things, that really does not bode well for O.

Absolutely.

I still gottta crush on Obama...but I am fickle...and I never discuss my politics online!

If he's the Dem nominee, then I'll vote for him. I always vote democrat.

That's an interesting clause there. If he's the Dem nominee. lol The strange thing is that people are starting to doubt that he will be. I have already seen a "Hillary 2012" sticker on somebody's car. Some think she might try to take the nomination. 2016 will be too late for her so 2012 is her last shot.

Yup. Didnt get to vote last time cuz I wasnt old enuff but hell yeah I'm voting Obeezy '12.

I will. I believe that Obama's first term has been plagued by his being painfully aware that his term would be heavily scrutinized and so he has been trying to walk this type-rope of trying to please, or pacify, everyone; supporters, doubters, naysayers -- all with his second run in mind. I have a feeling that if he gets a second term, it will be drastically differently from his first, and his stances will be more defiant and 'final.'

Rodriguez was answering a challenge by British billionaire Alki David, who promised $1 million to the first person who streaked in front of the president.

A man who streaked in front of President Obama Sunday in Philadelphia did it for $1 million cash.

Juan Rodriguez, 24, was arrested after he appeared in the buff as Obama was trying to fire up a massive crowd at an outdoor rally in the City of Brotherly love.

Rodriguez wasn't protesting, he was just answering the challenge of British billionaire Alki David, who promised $1 million to the first person who streaked in front of the president to promote his website.

"That is absolutely right," David, 42, told the Daily News Sunday night. "This is the first time anybody has attempted it. I still don't know if he was successful. If he has done it, I'll pay him in cash."

In August, David issued his challenge on his website Battlecam.com, billed as an interactive reality TV channel and community.

David said the commando-in-chief contest required participants to shout "Battlecam.com" six times, have the name of the website written across his or her chest, and be within earshot and sight of Obama.

He also suggested the stunt be done in a place where it is legal to be nude, but didn't make that a rule.

"I'm very clear about the rules," David said. "I'm still waiting to get conclusive proof he [Rodriguez] did it."

David said Battlecam.com has held several other outrageous contests, including a urine-drinking competition.

Rodriguez is a regular visitor to Battlecam.com, who goes by the handle King Vamp, David said.

He said Rodriguez teamed up with Glen Zolar and Joey (Boots) Bassolino to conduct the stunt, which was apparently videotaped, David said. Zolar and Bassolino are both regular guests on the Howard Stern Show.

Zolar told The Weekly Standard that Rodriguez met all of David's contest requirements.

He said Rodriguez promised him a percentage of the $1 million prize if he achieved the feat.

"I'd rather not disclose the figure, but it would definitely be more than $5,000 ... and less than $25,000," Zolar told The Weekly Standard.

David said he was a big admirer of Obama and did not want the contest to be construed as a protest against the president's policies.

"I like Obama," David told the News. "This is just a prank."

Forgiveness Man. . . was that you?

I'm sure you'd like that but you ain't seeing this work of art unclothed that easily loverboy! Besides, I wouldn't want The O to get to see this. He ain't worthy! And besides, I don't do political streakings! Give me a little more credit dude! XD

This is funny. I wondered a lot about the geeks that streak at pro sport events for a minimal amount of cash from entities like radio stations. I saw one at a pro football field do it and it was the funniest thing ever. He was tackled.

Did he at least get the cash? I would imagine he would need it for bail and fines.

WATCH: Obama Surprised By Political Cost Of Health Care Reform
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/07/obama-on-60-minutes-midterms-video_n_780132.html


WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama says the political cost of overhauling the health care system turned out to be higher than he had expected. And he admits that he gets discouraged at times when dealing with the economy.In an interview airing Sunday night on CBS' "60 Minutes," Obama said the health care system itself is huge and complicated and that changing it eluded previous presidents because it was so difficult."I made the decision to go ahead and do it, and it proved as costly politically as we expected - probably actually a little more costly than we expected, politically," he said.Obama said he thought that he would find common ground with Republicans by advancing health care proposals that had been introduced by Republican administrations as well as potential presidential candidate Mitt Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts."I couldn't get the kind of cooperation from Republicans that I had hoped for," he said. "And that was costly, partly because it created the kind of partisanship and bickering that really turn people off."Obama said the danger of a second major recession is "much reduced" and a great depression is not on the horizon. Still a danger, he said, is the nation being "stuck in a new normal where unemployment rates stay high."

"I do get discouraged. I mean, there are times where I thought the economy would had gotten better by now," he said. "One of the things I think you understand as president is you're held responsible for everything. But you don't always have control of everything, especially an economy this big."However, Obama sounded optimistic about the nation's economic future."I am constantly reminded that we have been through worse times than these, and we've always come out on top," he said. "And I'm positive that the same thing is going to happen this time."Obama said his two years as president haven't changed his ideals."But I think that in terms of how I operated on a day-to-day basis, when you've got a series of choices to make - I think that there are times where we said let's just get it done instead of worrying about how we're getting it done," he said. "And I think that's a problem. I'm paying a political price for that."Reuters notes that Obama cited the economy as the primary reason for his party's setbacks on Tuesday:

Big election losses suffered by Democrats were "first and foremost" a reflection of the economy's weakness rather than a wholesale rejection of his policies, President Barack Obama said on Sunday."The party in power was held responsible for an economy that is still underperforming and where a lot of folks are still hurting," Obama told the CBS program "60 Minutes" in an interview.

Obama called the midterm elections "a referendum on the economy."
