Red Sea!

The Huffington Post, Talking Points Memo, The Raw Story, The Atlantic, Addicting Info, and Think Progress are concerned with Republican vote rigging and suppression strategies. The Republican governors signed off gerrymandering laws that give the Republicans a stronger district favor. The Democrat may have a strong disadvantage in the 2014 and 2016 U.S. Elections. 

Republicans control 32 of the states/territorial governorships. The Democrats control 21 of the state/territorial governorships. There are 2 independents who serve as governors and one independent who serve as the elected Washington, D.C. mayor.

The Republicans have a strong advantage in governorships. Most of the governors have stuck to their "principles" of union busting, not enacting Obamacare, fighting federal funds for infrastructure repairs to roads and bridges, high speed rail and shipping channels.

The Republicans had a strong opportunity to take back the White House with their shady redistricting. We could have said hello to President Mitt Romney. Thank god that perennial loser didn't win the election.

With Republicans being swept back into power in 2010, the consequences were a result of their hands on approach to congressional seating. 

Remember back in 2010 when the Tea Party got the phobia about the U.S. Census. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Trent Franks (R-Arizona) and former Texas Republican congressman Ron Paul were making such a fuss about the government's civic duty to count the nation's growing population.

The Republicans have a serious issue with minorities and women. So instead of the broad coalition of individuals (minorities and women), the Republicans will play to the social culture warriors (WHITE, OLD, MEN) who doomed them in the last two elections.

The Atlantic's David Graham reports that Republicans are green lighting the winner-takes-all strategy. GOP chairman Reince Priebus favors the idea is to get state legislatures to change the way they allocate electoral votes. Instead of a winner-take-all scheme, which most states use, they want to institute a system where votes could be split between candidates. Now, on face, that might not seem so bad. It would mean that very Republican areas in very Democratic states -- think Orange County, California -- and very Democratic areas in Republican states -- think Austin, Texas -- wouldn't be essentially throwing their presidential votes away. 

Certainly, there are longstanding critiques of the Electoral College. Recently they've mostly come from the left. The 2000 election, in which Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote, was a galvanizing moment. And there are plans to try to rectify the oddness of the Electoral College. For example, the National Popular Vote plan is a push to get states to sign on to a scheme in which they'd award all their electors to the winner of the most votes nationwide. The plan would only take effect once states representing at least half of the electoral votes have joined, guaranteeing its effectiveness.

Romney supporters packing it up!

So this GOP plan is a smart move, driven by politics but with a result that would better reflect the will of the majority, right? Not quite. Here's the twist: The proposal would award electoral votes based on who wins Congressional districts. (That's already how Maine and Nebraska work, but the two states only account for nine of the 538 total electoral votes.)

From a Republican perspective, this is genius, but it's evil genius. It would allow the party to gain electoral votes in swing states and near swing states like Ohio, Colorado, and Michigan that went for Obama in the last two elections but have large Republican constituencies. But you may also recall that the GOP maintained its majority in the House in November but actually won fewer votes than Democrats did in congressional elections overall. This is because the GOP has been extremely effective at gerrymandering House districts. One reason the 2010 election mattered so much is that the Tea Party wave handed control of redistricting after the 2010 Census to Republican-led legislatures in many states. And they didn't waste the opportunity. Now the lines won't be redrawn again until after the next census, in 2020. 

With Virginia playing the game so well, it's possible that many other states will go there soon. 

[So] clearly this isn't a plan that would solve the problem of an undemocratic Electoral College. But it is a plan that would forestall Republican demographic doom. Now, whether instituting these laws would be politically viable is a different question. Even if a few states adopted it, it could change the political landscape. 

And moreover, the plan would disenfranchise voters. Which ones? Mostly the minority ones in cities who helped Obama win this year. Most urban districts are going to vote Democratic, and most rural ones will go Republican. But if votes are quarantined in a single Congressional district, it doesn't matter if the turnout in a city is 50 percent, 70 percent, or 100 percent; there's only one electoral vote on the table, plus the two at-large electoral votes. This takes almost all the venom out of the formidable Democratic get-out-the-vote operation.

There's a certain nihilism here. One of the major storylines of the 2012 election was voter-ID laws and voting hours. While ostensibly formulated to stop voter fraud, there wasn't much voter fraud to stop, and the changed hours tended to affect mostly poorer and urban (and therefore Democratic) voters. In some cases, Republican officials put the changes in starkly honest ways. A Pennsylvania legislator said a voter-ID law would help Mitt Romney win the state (he was wrong), while an Ohio official said voting hours shouldn't be shaped to accommodate the "urban -- read African-American -- voter-turnout machine." For a variety of reasons, however, these pushes didn't work: courts struck down some laws, and voters were willing to wait in long lines to cast their ballots.

But hey, if disenfranchisement didn't work once, just try it again, right? It's not like the GOP's standing with minority and urban voters can get much worse.

So in David Graham's piece on Republicans trying to steal elections is basically simple: If we can't win by the votes of the American people, we'll win by the American governance!

Let's repeat the words of wisdom for the Republicans and their conservative allies:

Republicans continue nominating OLD, WHITE, TIRED LOOKING, IGNORANT, BIGOTS as their leaders. They continue to rally EXTREMISTS with coded language and inflammatory rhetoric!

Conservatives obsess with calling those who supported the president, low information voters and uninformed!

It seems like this last election informed millions of Americans to vote against the Republican nominee, the perennial loser Mitt Romney. It didn't help Republicans win the Senate. It only gave Republicans a small majority in the House of Representatives.

If you consider Americans low information voters and the like: 

Get use to losing because it's not us that's uninformed!

It's likely you! 

I will repeat this over and over again until people notice!

Boehner: Obama's A Bully!

Weeping speaker John Boehner smokes a square! The Ohio Republican Congressman thinks Obama going to advance his agenda and Republicans fear they can't stop it!

Now you tell me who's acting like a bully?

The Speaker Weeper of The House, Republican Congressman John Boehner of Ohio sobs up over the president aggressive campaign against them. The weeper believes that President Barack Obama wants to annihilate the Republican Party.

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky is the Minority Leader. McConnell stated that the president's inaugural speech brought back an era of liberalism. He vows to block any legislation in regards to gun control.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is the son of perennial loser Ron Paul, the former Texas congressman. Paul is a kookspiracy senator. He's already testing his presidential credentials. He's gone as far to call the president a "king", and saying that he would have fired Secretary of State Hillary Clinton over her handling of the Benghazi consulate attack.

Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) the former vice presidential nominee to perennial loser Mitt Romney was blaming the American people for them being easily swayed by the president. He also contributed the electoral loss due to poor communication from Mitt Romney and people weren't hip to their ideas.

Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas) threatens impeachment over the president's proposals to curbing gun violence. Using the same theme of Senator Paul, Stockman is calling the president a "king" and "dictator".

Congressman Paul Broun (R-Georgia) once had allowed a constituent say assassination in his presence now goes even further with the notion that the president swears to the Soviet Union. The congressman made a snark remark about the president's constitutional powers when it comes to

The conservative media was upset over the "rolling eyes" of First Lady Michelle Obama. She rolled her eyes at Weeper Boehner and it went viral. The Republicans think it was undignified for her to do something like this.

With comments from those in the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement, one could think they're doing a fine job of destroying themselves with such actions.

Progress is happening and Republicans fear it. They fear it with a passion.

The Republican leader argued that Obama’s ambitious second-term agenda could not be enacted unless Republicans suffer serious losses in the next mid-term elections.

“[G]iven what we heard yesterday about the president’s vision for his second term, it’s pretty clear to me and should be clear to all of you that he knows he can’t do any of that as long as the House is controlled by Republicans,” Boehner said. “So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party. And let me tell you, I do believe that is their goal. To just shove us in the dustbin of history.”

Republicans will need to defend themselves in a “very hostile environment,” Boehner said, by thinking strategically about when and how to confront the president.

“Where’s the ground that we fight on? Where’s the ground that we retreat on? Where are the smart fights?

Where are the dumb fights that we have to stay away from?” he asked. “We've got a lot of big decisions to make.”

His caucus just ducked a fight with President Obama and Democrats by suspending the debt limit for three months. But hours before that vote, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) told reporters that the House GOP was still prepared to shut down the government if Democrats do not agree to new spending cuts.

Obama will have to confront the polarization on Capitol Hill in attempting to move forward with deficit reduction, immigration reform, climate change legislation and gun control. Boehner's comments suggest that Obama should not expect much support from his caucus in achieving those goals.

The speech was closed to press, but video and a transcript were put online. The comments come at about 9:55 in the above video.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in 2010 that “the single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.” (Democrats often inaccurately say that McConnell voiced that goal as soon as the president took office).

Give 'Em Hill....

Outgoing U.S. Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton gives a passionate response to the controversy ginned up by the Republicans over the terrorist attack in Libya. Sparked by the controversial online video that mocked Islam and the Prophet Mohammad, a group affiliated with al-Qaeda took an opportunity to attack the Libyan consulate embassy.

Those dolts Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) and Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) are pissed that Clinton handed their asses to them.

Facing expected scrutiny from Republicans during her testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Clinton appeared to take exception to Johnson's pointed inquiry into the State Department's initial report that the attack had been mounted spontaneously as a reaction to an anti-Islam YouTube video.

"With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans," Clinton responded, raising her voice at Johnson, who continued to interrupt her. "Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk last night who decided to kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."

Clinton continued, defending the State Department's efforts in the wake of the assault. "Honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is people were trying their best in real time to get to the best information," she said.

Earlier in the hearing, Clinton spoke about the aftermath of the attack, her voice cracking as she recalled meeting the families of the four Americans killed, including that of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens.

Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) gets into a testy dispute with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Her testimony focused not only on the attack but the growing threat from extremists in northern Africa, pointing out that Libya was not an isolated incident.

"The Arab revolutions have scrambled power dynamics and shattered security forces across the region," she said. "And instability in Mali has created an expanding safe haven for terrorists who look to extend their influence and plot further attacks of the kind we saw just last week in Algeria."

She said the Obama administration is pressing for a greater understanding of the hostage-taking and rescue effort there that left three Americans dead.

In a packed hearing room, Clinton parried tough questions from Republicans, offering a detailed timeline of events on Sept. 11 and the Obama administration efforts to aid the Americans in Libya while simultaneously dealing with protests in Cairo and other countries.

She also took House Republicans to task for recently stripping $1 billion in security aid from the hurricane relief bill.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) is the son of former presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul. The kookspiracy senator wants to rally his presidential credentials. The Benghazi scandal has Republicans wanting heads to roll. Paul stated to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that he would of have "fired" her if he was the president.   

In something of a valedictory, Clinton noted her robust itinerary in four years and her work, nearly 1 million miles and 112 countries.

"My faith in our country and our future is stronger than ever. Every time that blue and white airplane carrying the words 'United States of America' touches down in some far-off capital, I feel again the honor it is to represent the world's indispensable nation. And I am confident that, with your help, we will continue to keep the United States safe, strong, and exceptional."

Clinton is the sole witness at back-to-back hearings before the Senate and House foreign policy panels on the September raid.

Clinton had been scheduled to testify before Congress last month, but an illness, a concussion and a blood clot near her brain forced her to postpone her appearance.

Absent from the hearing was Senator John Kerry (D-Massachusetts), the man tapped to succeed Clinton.

His swift Senate confirmation is widely expected. Kerry's confirmation hearing is scheduled for Thursday.

Clinton's testimony was focusing on the Libya attack after more than three months of Republican charges that the Obama administration ignored signs of a deteriorating security situation there and cast an act of terrorism as mere protests over an anti-Muslim video in the heat of a presidential election. Washington officials suspect that militants linked to al-Qaeda carried out the attack.

"It's been a cover-up from the beginning," Sen. John McCain, (R-Arizona), the newest member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Tuesday.

Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) and Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina). These three senators were pestering the UN Secretary Susan Rice over Benghazi. They've given Secretary of State Hillary Clinton a hostile testimony as well.

Politics play an outsized role in any appearance by Clinton, who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 and is the subject of constant speculation about a possible bid in 2016. The former first lady and New York senator -- a polarizing figure dogged by controversy -- is about to end her four-year tenure at the State Department with high favorable ratings.

A poll early last month by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found 65 percent of Americans held a favorable impression of Clinton, compared with 29 percent unfavorable.

On the panel at the hearing were two possible 2016 Republican presidential candidates -- Florida's Marco Rubio and Kentucky's Rand Paul, also a new member of the committee.

Clinton did little to quiet the presidential chatter earlier this month when she returned to work at the State Department after her illness. On the subject of retirement, she said, "I don't know if that is a word I would use, but certainly stepping off the very fast track for a little while."

With respect to Benghazi, the State Department review singled out the Bureau of Diplomatic Security and the Bureau of Near East Affairs, saying there appeared to be a lack of cooperation and confusion over protection at the mission in Benghazi. The report described a security vacuum in Libya after rebel forces toppled the decades-long regime of strongman Moammar Gadhafi.

The report made 29 recommendations to improve diplomatic security, particularly at high-threat posts.

Asked for the number of State Department employees fired for their handling of Benghazi, State Department spokesman Victoria Nuland said four people were put on administrative leave. They included Eric Boswell, who resigned from the position of assistant secretary of diplomatic security.

But Nuland declined to say if Boswell and the others still are working for the department in some capacity.

Don't Like A Gov't Policy: SCREAM HITLER!

Sean Hannity, the guy responsible for President Barack Obama winning reelection.

The agitators of the media are fighting the 20th Century yet again! Still stuck on memories of 80 years ago and not the present day! Wishing they could return to the days when all the presidents were of one color!

Once again the media is showing the world that it only takes a few rants to rake in the profits!

It's not news or informative talk! It's pure name calling and vindictive actions among a bunch of bitter losers.

The gun control debate is very contentious!

Those in the media are taking an advancement of payment for who could outcrazy one another.

Talking Points Memo, a liberal investigative blog put together a collection of Fox News personalities and the controversial agitator Sean Hannity running on the HITLER meme.

President Barack Obama issue executive orders to curbing gun violence post Sandy Hook. These orders have the National Rifle Association and Republicans in a frenzy. They're calling the president's actions treasonous, impeachable and downright tyrannical. Some of these people on these networks compare the president to Hitler, Mao, Stalin, and Hussein.

Say if I could say something three thousand times and generate a talk point, would have my own talk show on a cable news channel?

I've mention Sean Hannity and Matt Drudge frequently on this blog. These two are the most annoying members of the conservative media. They've played every card from the bottom of the deck.

I want them to continue to hurt the Republican Party. Because of these two men, the president won reelection and set the course for an aggressive agenda. President Barack Obama had enough of the Republican obstruction and he's willing to box them in with issues they've agreed on in the past.

Sean Hannity's ratings are falling. He's still a reigning in at 1.2 million viewers a night but the competitor from the rival network MSNBC is catching up. Rachel Maddow, the liberal agitator of the network is bring more informative talk and the partisan rancor.

I've stated this last year, that Rachel Maddow will surpass Sean Hannity in ratings by the late of 2013.

It's going to happen soon.

Sean Hannity's right wing carnival of agitation celebrates four years on the air now. Long past the days of him and liberal agitator Alan Colmes, the Hannity show allows Dick Morris, Michelle Malkin, Jesse Lee Peterson, Brent Bozell, Ann Coulter, Karl Rove, and numerous other right wing agitators go H.A.M. on the president and his allies in the progressive movement.

It's working in the network's favor. With a second term of President Barack Obama, Fox News is working harder to stay relevant. They're waiting for a controversy that could lead to impeachment. Fox News is considered conservative. Fox News will continue to create controversies when there's no need for them. They will give Republicans and conservative agitators a voice on their network. After all, some of these conservative agitators are banned from the mainstream news outlets for controversial statements.

The cable news racket is looking for success in the second term.

MSNBC is considered liberal by most viewers watching. The network will continue to find agitators who favor the president and hate the Republicans.

CNN is caught in the middle but most look upon it a liberal. Anderson Cooper, Piers Morgan, Don Lemon, Soledad O'Brien and other commentators make the case for rancor from both the left and the right.

Talking Points Memo reports that if you have been watching Fox News in recent weeks, you will have heard a lot of discussion about Hitler. Guests have been lining up to equate the gun legislation proposed by President Obama with Hitler, Nazis and 1930s Germany in general.

Since the Sandy Hook shooting, Fox guests have been among the loudest voices saying that any new restrictions will decimate the Second Amendment and lead to government oppression not seen since Hitler, Mao or Stalin.

If you seriously believe that President Barack Obama is Adolf Hitler, you're out of the mainstream.

Barack Obama was elected twice in two landslide elections. He is the first Black president and one of the world's favored leaders. Hitler's governance was compared by most Western nations as a dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology. He was a dictator who wanted a supremacy of Europe. Hitler's supremacist and racially motivated policies resulted in the deaths of an estimated 50 million people during World War II, including 6 million Jews and 5 million "non-Aryans" whose systematic extermination was ordered by him and his close subordinates. Hitler never took guns. He ordered his military to use them in a global wipeout.

Lip-Sync?

The B'sync Controversy!

President Barack Obama's second term controversies begins with the nation concerned about....

A pop singer!

Beyonce the wife of rapper/media mogul Jay-Z was performing the National Anthem. But the talk of the nation is, did she lip-sync our nation's pledge?

A person in the U.S. Marine band confirms that they've lowered the playing of their instruments for a voice over of the singer. Captain Eric Flanagan stated that the Presidential Inaugural Committee was asked to performed with the singer. They couldn't make the connection due to constraints with the singer and the plan was "ill-advised" for the major event.

Some members say that she didn't lip-sync.

Beyonce's representatives won't comment on the performance.

The singer and Jay-Z had an opportunity to be at the inaugural events. James Taylor and Kelly Clarkson were also in attendance and performed for President Barack Obama.

If the singer would have the nerve to lip-sync her own voice it's a embarrassment to the nation, says the conservative media.

Conservatives already pounced on the singer for the controversy. Of course, turd flipping agitators in the media went forth to a frenzy.

They've blasted the president for the "fawning praise" from the media!

Conservatives are losers!

They've can't even stomach his second term!

Fox News, the nation's most watched cable network ran the bottom of the barrel on inaugural coverage. CNN won the night for the coverage. It beat out both partisan Fox News and MSNBC.

Media Research Center (via Newsbusters), Hot Air, Michelle Malkin, Breitbart, and the hip-hop media were all on the lip-sync controversy.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden took the oath of office on Sunday, but had the formal event on Monday. The president used the bibles of Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for the swear in.

Man Shot At MLK Parade! This Cant Be Life!

I'm very saddened at the tragedy on the holiday that honor MLK.

Michelle Obama Rolls Her Eyes At Inaugural Lunch To House Speaker!

Michelle Obama stood up to that Republican bigot!

GOP Rage At Obama's Vision!

The era of Ronald Reagan is over! Get over it!

The future is now and Americans are looking forward.

President Barack Obama lays out the second term agenda. This agenda will face a stubborn Congress with many of the newest members affiliated with the extremist Tea Party. The Republicans are rebounding from a disastrous year.

The debt ceiling debate an often contentious issue has the United States hanging on a thread. The borrowing agencies are going to downgrade our nation's credit rating if Congress fails to pass bipartisan budgets.

The Republicans concede that it's possible for the three month extension of the debt ceiling. But they're also getting restless on the U.S. Senate inactive notion to pass a budget. They want domestic austerity cuts to social safety nets. They've harped on the Democratic controlled Senate not passing a budget in years. The Democrats are eager to have Republicans now put revenue (tax increases) on the table. That still has been a sticking point to them. The president has a backlog of nominees for his cabinet and federal courts held in limbo the first term. Republicans have filibustered most of the controversial nominees for the president.

The Republicans will continue to stall nominations in the U.S. Senate with cabinet replacements, federal judges and the potential nomination for a Supreme Court justice if one should retire or die.

The president will waste no time on the immigration reform debate. Seeing that the president carried an overwhelmingly amount of Hispanic/Latino votes, he vowed to make it possible for an immigrant to get a piece of the American Dream.

The president also recognized the needs of the African American voters. The president made note of the chaos in Florida and Ohio where long lines plagued early voters and on day voters. The Republican led legislatures in these states have brought forth rollbacks to early voting and ending same day registrations.

Republican state houses pushed restrictions on early voting, voter identification and removal of same day registration. They believe this was an advantage to helping President Barack Obama. They claim these created "voter fraud" and "voter intimidation". The president vows to keep Americans voting in the Midterm and 2016 presidential elections.

The president also recognized the LGBT community. From the mentions of Stonewall to the acceptance of our friends and family who are gay, the president vows to fight for equal rights for all Americans.

The president has invoked acceptance to gay marriage. Last year, the president went to ABC News with Robin Roberts and stated that he's realized that it's essential to accept a same sex family.

The president also recognized women's rights. Since the passing of the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay law, many American women are hoping the glass ceiling will be broken once and for all. The president vowed that reproductive rights via Roe v. Wade will sustain. The president vowed that he wants to bring family back into the fold. Understanding that American families are unmarried, the president urges Congress to keep safety nets in for families who suffered under the housing and banking crisis.

The president vowed to end the war in Afghanistan by the start of 2014. The president also vowed to capture those involved in the Algeria hostage situation at the BP oil wells. The threat of al-Qaeda isn't over until the president neutralizes top leadership and demands nations to cancel their sponsorship of this organization.

To many progressives, it's was a masterpiece. To conservatives, it's another speech filled with blame Bush, divisiveness, partisan rancor and the like.

The Republicans vow to fight the president at every step. The president vows to fight back even though he still has optimism that bipartisanship can occur.

The beginning of the second term starts. But we know ever since he won the election, his second term began on November 7, 2012 with Republicans are hating along the way!

The way the Republicans acted during the U.S. Election, is a reason for his second term victory.

Haters Gonna Hate!

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are the real winners!

They keep the media on their toes.

Conservative bloggers such as Michelle Malkin, Matt Drudge, the Newsbusters and World Net Daily crowd found some outrage over the inauguration events.

The sore losers of the conservative media ablazed over the "rolling eyes" of First Lady Michelle Obama at House Speaker Weeper John Boehner (R-Ohio).

Real Clear Politics got the video and the WHITE CONSERVATIVE EXTREMISTS are vomiting their word salad on the websites.

Dr. Cornel West, famed Black activist whines on the radio and television about the president taking oath of office on the bibles of President Abraham Lincoln and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Both were slain by extremists.

First Lady Michelle Obama was caught rolling her eyes at John Bohener, Ohio Republican congressman who is the current Speaker of the House of Representatives.

To those who relish in the divisive hate of President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, their children, Vice President Joe Biden, the Black community, the Hispanic community and anyone of color:

Without you, there wouldn't be Barack Obama! Haters gonna hate!

It's the reasons why [Republicans] lost these elections. You won the House of Representatives on the whims of gerrymandering. The current Congress job approval is low. President Barack Obama found a crack in the armor of the Republican Party.

The Tea Party.

Since the introduction of the Tea Party, Republicans moved further to the right on issues. They've worshiped the ground of Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove, Fox News, the NRA, and Grover Norquist. Each of these figures are either exposed a frauds or self-glorifying morons. You want to bring new and fresh faces into the party.

Yet, Republicans keep nominating OLD, WHITE, TIRED LOOKING, IGNORANT, BIGOTS as their leaders.

Conservatives obsess with calling those who supported the president, low information voters and uninformed!

It seems like this last election informed millions of Americans to vote against the Republican nominee, the perennial loser Mitt Romney. It didn't help Republicans win the Senate. It only gave Republicans a small majority in the House of Representatives.

If you consider Americans low information voters and the like: 

Get use to losing because it's not us that's uninformed!

It's likely you!

Rapper Yanked For Anti-Obama Rant!

Chicago rapper and political activist Lupe Fiasco.

Chicago rapper Lupe Fiasco got his card pulled and the scorn for his explicit rant on President Barack Obama, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the conflict in the Middle East. It went viral on the internet and of course it's gotten conservative and liberal attention. Republicans will circle the wagons defending those controversial agitators. Democrats will circle the wagons saying that Fisaco's comments are out of line and he doesn't understand the nature of politics. Black conservatives praise him. Black liberals scorn him. And of course the hip-hop media will have mixed views on him.

Once again, Lupe Fiasco (born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco) isn't a fan of the president. He's criticized the president over the violence in Chicago, their hometown.

Raised in Chicago, Fiasco developed an interest in hip hop after initially disliking the genre for its use of vulgarity and misogyny. After adopting the name Lupe Fiasco and recording songs in his father's basement, 19-year-old Fiasco joined a group called Da Pak. The group disbanded shortly after its inception, and Fiasco soon met rapper Jay-Z who helped him sign a record deal with Atlantic Records.

Fiasco is noted for his anti-establishment views. In an interview with Stephen Colbert on the satirical news show The Colbert Report, Fiasco stated his credo on political philosophy: "You should criticize power even if you agree with it."

In another interview in June 2011 on the CBS program What's Trending, Fiasco discussed the political content of his music, stating, "My fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama and the United States of America. I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. You know, the root cause of terrorism is the stuff the U.S. government allows to happen. The foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists."

He additionally criticized Obama for his stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In keeping with his anti-establishment views, Fiasco does not vote in U.S. elections

The rapper performed at an inauguration event and stated: "(Rush) Limbaugh is a racist / Glenn Beck is a racist / Gaza strip was getting bombed / Obama didn't say (expletive)/ That's why I ain't vote for him," sometime before several men approached the stage and the set suddenly came to an end.

Feels Like A Winner!

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden take their formal oath of office again! This time the setting is huge and it's on the steps of the nation's capitol. The president and vice president will assume power for the next four years. And despite all the controversy and rancor from the ney sayers in the Republican Party, the country was happy that President Barack Obama won and their nominee the perennial loser Mitt Romney lost.

President Barack Obama lays out the groundwork for his second term. In his inauguration speech, the president lays his groundwork for his second term.

Vice President Biden, Mr. Chief Justice, Members of the United States Congress, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens:

Each time we gather to inaugurate a president, we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution.  We affirm the promise of our democracy.  We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.  What makes us exceptional – what makes us American – is our allegiance to an idea, articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time.  For history tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing; that while freedom is a gift from God, it must be secured by His people here on Earth.  The patriots of 1776 did not fight to replace the tyranny of a king with the privileges of a few or the rule of a mob.  They gave to us a Republic, a government of, and by, and for the people, entrusting each generation to keep safe our founding creed.


For more than two hundred years, we have.

Through blood drawn by lash and blood drawn by sword, we learned that no union founded on the principles of liberty and equality could survive half-slave and half-free.  We made ourselves anew, and vowed to move forward together.

Together, we determined that a modern economy requires railroads and highways to speed travel and commerce; schools and colleges to train our workers.

Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.

Together, we resolved that a great nation must care for the vulnerable, and protect its people from life’s worst hazards and misfortune.

Through it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through government alone.  Our celebration of initiative and enterprise; our insistence on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character.

But we have always understood that when times change, so must we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.  For the American people can no more meet the demands of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias.  No single person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores.  Now, more than ever, we must do these things together, as one nation, and one people.

This generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and proved our resilience.  A decade of war is now ending.  An economic recovery has begun.  America’s possibilities are limitless, for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands:  youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and a gift for reinvention.  My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment, and we will seize it – so long as we seize it together.

For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.  We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class.  We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship.  We are true to our creed when a little girl born into the bleakest poverty knows that she has the same chance to succeed as anybody else, because she is an American, she is free, and she is equal, not just in the eyes of God but also in our own.

We understand that outworn programs are inadequate to the needs of our time.  We must harness new ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder, learn more, reach higher.  But while the means will change, our purpose endures:  a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American.  That is what this moment requires.  That is what will give real meaning to our creed.

We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity.  We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit.  But we reject the belief that America must choose between caring for the generation that built this country and investing in the generation that will build its future.  For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn.  We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few.  We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us.  They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.

We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity.  We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.  Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms.  The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult.  But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it.  We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must claim its promise.  That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks.  That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God.  That’s what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.

We, the people, still believe that enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war.  Our brave men and women in uniform, tempered by the flames of battle, are unmatched in skill and courage.  Our citizens, seared by the memory of those we have lost, know too well the price that is paid for liberty.  The knowledge of their sacrifice will keep us forever vigilant against those who would do us harm.  But we are also heirs to those who won the peace and not just the war, who turned sworn enemies into the surest of friends, and we must carry those lessons into this time as well.

We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law.  We will show the courage to try and resolve our differences with other nations peacefully – not because we are naïve about the dangers we face, but because engagement can more durably lift suspicion and fear. America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation.  We will support democracy from Asia to Africa; from the Americas to the Middle East, because our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom.  And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice – not out of mere charity, but because peace in our time requires the constant advance of those principles that our common creed describes:  tolerance and opportunity; human dignity and justice.

We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth.

It is now our generation’s task to carry on what those pioneers began.  For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts.  Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.  Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote.  Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country.  Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.

That is our generation’s task – to make these words, these rights, these values – of Life, and Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness – real for every American.  Being true to our founding documents does not require us to agree on every contour of life; it does not mean we will all define liberty in exactly the same way, or follow the same precise path to happiness.  Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time – but it does require us to act in our time.

For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay.  We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate. We must act, we must act knowing that our work will be imperfect. We must act, knowing that today’s victories will be only partial, and that it will be up to those who stand here in four years, and forty years, and four hundred years hence to advance the timeless spirit once conferred to us in a spare Philadelphia hall.

My fellow Americans, the oath I have sworn before you today, like the one recited by others who serve in this Capitol, was an oath to God and country, not party or faction – and we must faithfully execute that pledge during the duration of our service.  But the words I spoke today are not so different from the oath that is taken each time a soldier signs up for duty, or an immigrant realizes her dream.  My oath is not so different from the pledge we all make to the flag that waves above and that fills our hearts with pride.

Rock legend James Taylor sings America The Beautiful.

They are the words of citizens, and they represent our greatest hope.

You and I, as citizens, have the power to set this country’s course.

You and I, as citizens, have the obligation to shape the debates of our time – not only with the votes we cast, but with the voices we lift in defense of our most ancient values and enduring ideals.

Let us each of us now embrace, with solemn duty and awesome joy, what is our lasting birthright.  With common effort and common purpose, with passion and dedication, let us answer the call of history, and carry into an uncertain future that precious light of freedom.

Thank you, God Bless you, and may He forever bless these United States of America.

Sworn In!
