Did Obama Leave Before Tebow’s Closing Prayer?

Tim Tebow, the Florida Gator’s Heisman-trophy winning quarterback, gave the closing prayer at yesterday’s National Prayer Breakfast.

The event began in 1953 and is traditionally attended by national leaders including the president.
President Obama was no exception yesterday although he apparently left before Tebow’s prayer.
Tebow has become a controversial figure due to his slated appearance in a pro-life ad during the Super Bowl, Sunday.

Athony J. Frascino, Obama’s New BFF

Athony J. Frascino, Obama’s New BFF — Step aside Ellie Light, here comes  Anthony J. Frascino of Swedesboro, N. J.

Friday’s Philadelphia Inquirer published this letter from Frascino in which he described the independents in Massachusetts who elected Scott Brown to the Senate as voters having “no loyalty” and  “switch parties like underwear” and are “America’s insurgents”.

“Welcome to the new age of anarchy,” he said.

Yesterday’s Boston Globe published this letter from Frascino in which n which he described the independents in Massachusetts who elected Scott Brown to the Senate as as voters having “no loyalty” and  “switch parties like underwear” and are “America’s insurgents”.

“Welcome to the new age of anarchy,” he said.

At least Frascino is consistent as to where he lives.

Kudos to James Taranto’s Best of the Web for the tip.

Taranto notes that Frascino wrote a letter to the Inquirer in April, not available on the web, in which  he praised Sen. Arlen Specter for switching parties, and that he found this letter to the Inquirer in which he said that Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Ct)  “makes Judas Iscariot look like Mother Teresa!”

Obama Losing Obama Girl

Obama Losing Obama Girl — Amber Lee Ettinger, who spent 2008 singing of her crush for Obama,  has fallen out of love.

On the eve of the President’s State of the Union address she is giving him a B-minus.

“In my opinion, I feel like he should be focusing a lot more on jobs and the economy,” she said. “He did create some jobs, but most of them were government jobs and that doesn’t really help the middle class.”

Ms. Ettinger notes she still does not have health care.

“I can’t afford it, ” she says.

Need For A Little Leadership

Need For A Little Leadership — An email is going around regarding how the First Lady’s failure to accompany President Obama on his trips to Islamic nations is an indication that our president is a secret Muslim.

It’s actually more than an email. Conservapedia, for instance, mentions the matter in a whole section in the President’s biography entitled “Obama is likely the first Muslim President”.

Michelle Obama visited eight countries in 2009.

  1. The United Kingdom
  2. Denmark
  3. France
  4. Germany
  5. The Czech Republic
  6. Italy
  7. Russia
  8. Ghana

It is true, none of these are Muslim lands. On the other hand, however, Michelle did not participate in the President’s trips to China, Japan or Mexico. Frankly, I think it’s more of an indication that Michelle is a diva, than Barack is a Muslim.

Still, Obama ought to recognize that millions of his constituents believe these stories and he ought show a little leadership and haul Michelle with him the next time he visits Arabia or Turkey.

Of course, he should have also waived any privacy rights to birth or college records when the Birther movement started, and he has yet to do so.

Obama Brings Teleprompter To Elementary School Speech

Obama Brings Teleprompter To Elementary School Speech — President Obama spoke to sixth graders at Graham Road Elementary in Virginia on Jan. 19. He brought his teleprompter.

Really.

His speech starts: “Hello, everybody. You guys look really cute in those chairs.”

A transcript can be found here.

The White House spin is that the teleprompters were there for comments to  journalists. You know, that really doesn’t make it any better.

Here’s a video of part of the speech. You decide if he’s reading from a teleprompter or speaking from memory.

Ellie Light, Obama’s BFF

Ellie Light, Obama’s BFF — The Philadelphia Daily News carried a letter to the editor from Ellie Light, Jan. 19, in which she said “It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, andthat a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.”

Ellie gave her address as Philadelphia.

The next day the San Francisco Examiner carried a letter from Ellie with the same sentence. This time, though, Ellie gave her address as Daly City, California.

Variations of the letter from Ellie defending Obama have within the two weeks also  appeared in papers in Ohio, South Carolina, Maine, Michigan, West Virginia and Iowa, and in each Ellie used a local address.

The revelation of this particular “best friend forever” for our embattled president came about when Sabrina Eaton of the Cleveland Plain Dealer received an Ellie letter via email  and did a little investigation because the name resembled that of a former co-worker..

Kudos to Sabrina.

Have the Democratic Party’s operatives really become so lame? This bodes well for the GOP this November.

Here’s the letter that appeared in the Philadelphia Daily News.

Here’s a letter that appears in today’s Lebanon Daily News in which Ellie claims to be a resident of Cornwall.

Make White House Guests Remove Shoes

In light of the recent security breaches at the Obama White House, it was suggested to me that all guest at White House functions be required to go through security procedures of degree that at least those that are inflicted on U.S. air travelers.

Yes, this means making them remove their shoes.

Obama Gets Black Belt

Obama Gets Black Belt — What a year for the young man from wherever. First the presidency, next a Nobel Peace Prize and now a black belt in tae  kwan do bestowed by South Koren President Lee Myung-bak, a practitioner of the sport himself.

Lee was sort of grinning when he handed over the coveted honor.

Obama Bows Before Emperor Akihito

Obama Bows Before Emperor AkihitoObama Bows Before Emperor Akihito — President Barack Obama took a strangely deep bow before Japanese Emperor Akihito, Friday.

Perhaps, he thought he was Darth Vader who said he would not “bow before anyone but the Emperor”.

Nah, Obama took a similarly submissive bow before King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.

Perhaps, he is just a humble man confident of his power.

Oh right. Can you see him bowing before Hillary Clinton? Sarah Palin? Rush Limbaugh?

Or perhaps he is not an natural born American after all.

Here Vice President Dick Cheney shows how a real American would have greeted Akhito: Obama Bows Before Emperor Akihito
