Biden: Romney & Ryan Will Keep Y'All In Chains!

                                 

President Barack Obama hits the campaign trail fresh after the news that Republican candidate Mitt Romney chosen the Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan for his running mate.

The president's strongest allies are not only former president Bill Clinton and Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton, but the gaffe prone Vice President Joe Biden. Once again, the Republicans are pouncing on the statements of Vice President Biden and they feel that the "race card" was played when he spoke to a crowd of Black voters.

Say it ain't so, Joe!

The conservatives are riled up over the vice president's statements at an event in Danville, Virginia. Biden takes on Mitt Romney's pledge to repeal the Financial/Banking Reform Law. Biden used the "ol' Black slang" when describing the Republican candidate.

Jake Tapper of ABC News reports that the vice president said to the Danville, Virginia, crowd that the House GOP budget, partly written by House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, gives an indication of the Republican presidential ticket’s values.

                           

“We got a real clear picture of what they all value,” Biden said. “Every Republican’s voted for it. Look at what they value and look at their budget and what they’re proposing. Romney wants to let the — he said in the first hundred days he’s going to let the big banks once again write their own rules, ‘unchain Wall Street.’ They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”

An Obama campaign official tells ABC News that “as the full quote makes obvious, the Vice President was clearly using a metaphor to describe the devastating impact of deregulating Wall Street and the financial industry, as well as how Governor Romney’s policies would take us back to the same failed formula that led to the 2008 financial crisis – the same failed formula that benefitted a few, but crashed our economy and hurt the middle class.”

Defenders of the vice president suggest that he inartfully was attempting to play off language Republicans have used about President Obama needing to “unshackle” small businesses and the economy.

Asked about the comments by Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC, Obama campaign deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said the president “probably agrees with Joe Biden’s sentiments.  I mean he’s using a metaphor….He was making a point that if we repeal Wall Street reform which is what Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to do, we’re going to go back to the days where they’re writing their own rules, and we saw what happened. Taxpayers had to bail them out. We had to spend billions of dollars of taxpayer dollars bailing them out. Now I would think that that, you know, that is a problem for middle class taxpayers. That would hamper their ability to take care of their own finances.”

                  

Cutter said, “the bottom line is that we have no problem with those comments.”

Romney spokesperson Andrea Saul said, “In case anyone was wondering just how low President Obama could go in his campaign for re-election, we now know he’s willing to say that Governor Romney wants to put people back in chains.

Whether its accusing Mitt Romney of being a felon, having been responsible for a woman’s tragic death or now wanting to put people in chains, there’s no question that because of the President’s failed record he’s been reduced to a desperate campaign based on division and demonization.”

Mr. Biden also told the crowd that if they get out the vote, “we can win North Carolina again.” Danville is close to the North Carolina border, but it is in fact in Virginia.

Florida Teen Busted For Woman Butt Grab!

The Raw Story and The Smoking Gun covered this one.

Okay, we'll first say that this belongs to the People of Walmart website. This story begs for conservative agitation. This story brings out the mentally inept White Supremacists who fear that the "Niggers" are coming for their women!

This should attract the Fox Nation, The Drudge Report and other conservative agitators who feel the need to blame President Barack Obama or the Black community.

Walmart, the world's largest retail superstore, has some of the most interesting things. From scantly clad men wearing daisy dukes and high heels, to people using other people's credit cards, the most obvious thing you'll find in a Walmart, is the sick pervert looking for a suburban honey dip so he get a feel on!

Meet 18 year old Aaron Morris. The teenager was busted while getting a feel of a woman's buttock.

He was standing near the fitting rooms and he saw the woman. I guess he got a rise in the pants and decided to get a "smack of da booty!"

At the North Lauderdale Walmart, the young man “approached the victim and willfully and intentionally grabbed the victim’s right buttocks against her will.”


The victim later identified Morris at local RaceTrac gas station, where he explained his actions.

“Her booty looked so good,” he said. “I just couldn’t resist touching it.”

Morris is being held at the Broward County Jail in lieu of $1,000 bond.

I am guessing that Morris had seen the website. Here's a video from a user on YouTube describing the People of Walmart.

This is a not safe for work video.

Cosmo Girl!

                       

Helen Gurley Brown the former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan dies at age 90. She was the crowning of a new women's movement.


Brown's bestselling book Sex and the Single Girl was published. In 1965, she became editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and reversed the fortunes of the failing magazine. During the decade of the 1960s she was an outspoken advocate of women's sexual freedom and sought to provide them with role-models and a guide in her magazine.

She claimed that women could have it all, "love, sex, and money", a view that even preceding feminists such as Betty Friedan and Germaine Greer did not support at all and has been met with notable opposition by advocates of grass-roots devotion of women to family and marriage. Due to her advocacy, glamorous, fashion-focused women were sometimes called "Cosmo Girls". Her work played a part in what is often called the sexual revolution.

In 1997, Brown was ousted from her role as the U.S. editor of Cosmopolitan and was replaced by Bonnie Fuller. When she left, Cosmopolitan ranked sixth at the newsstand, and for the 16th straight year, ranked first in bookstores on college campuses.

However, she stayed on at Hearst publishing and remained the international editor for all 59 international editions of Cosmo until her death on August 13, 2012.

In September, 2008, she was named the 13th most powerful American over the age of 80 by Slate magazine.

Ryan's Song!

                          

The best kept secret?

People are still talking about the decision made by former Massachusetts governor and perennial candidate for president Mitt Romney. The former governor puts his bets on Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan.

The Republicans are happy about the decision. The decision motivates the discussion squarely on the economy. Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan introduced his controversial budget plan in which it called for major austerity cuts to social safety nets. It advocated for larger defense spending and it was passed by the Republican-controlled House and rejected by the Democratic-controlled Senate.

The Path to Prosperity: Restoring America's Promise was the Republican Party's budget proposal for the United States federal government in the fiscal year 2012. It was succeeded in March 2012 by The Path to Prosperity: A Blueprint for American Renewal, the Republican budget proposal for 2013.

Congressman Paul Ryan, Chairman of the House Budget Committee, played a prominent public role in drafting and promoting both The Path to Prosperity proposals, and they are therefore often referred to as the Ryan budget, Ryan plan, Ryan proposal, etc.

The plans stand in contrast to the 2012 and 2013 budget proposals, outlined by President Barack Obama and the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

                

The 2012 Republican proposal was formalized and passed by the House of Representatives on Friday, April 15, 2011 by a vote of 235 to 193, largely along party lines. No Democrats voted in favor of the bill, and only four Republicans voted against it: Walter B. Jones, Jr., David McKinley, Ron Paul and Denny Rehberg.

A month later, the bill died in the Senate by a vote of 57–40.

The 2013 proposal includes plans to eliminate Medicare and begin a voucher-like program, cap non-defense discretionary federal spending at $1.029 trillion, and consolidate the six existing income tax brackets into only two.

The Ryan plan is widely controversial. The plan is greatly rejected by the general public and yet, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan think the country would embrace this. The proposal broadly generated negative reactions from Democrats and positive reactions from Republicans.

The gloves come off after the Republican National Convention when Romney takes the nomination.

According to ABC News, Clandestine flights. A slight disguise. Long drives to out-of-the-way airports by an aide's 19-year-old son. An afternoon dash through the wooded ravine behind Paul Ryan's house in Janesville, Wis.

These were just some of the things the Mitt Romney campaign did to keep the world from knowing the presumptive Republican presidential nominee had decided to pick Ryan as his running mate.

Beginning in April, Romney aide Beth Myers and a team of lawyers extensively vetted several possible vice presidential candidates, but, in the end, Ryan was only candidate Romney met in person to discuss the job.

From the start, Myers went to extraordinary lengths to keep the process secret. Her team worked in a secure room at Romney's Boston campaign headquarters. Each night they kept the most sensitive documents -- including several years of tax returns from each of the finalists -- in a safe. They made no copies.

"No copies were ever made and all work was done in that room," Myers said.

But it was Romney's final interactions with Ryan that were most elaborately shrouded in secrecy.

"We gave a lot of thought on how to make this work undetected," Myers explained.

It started on August 1, when Romney informed Myers that he had decided Ryan would be his running mate. Romney then called Ryan and asked him to come to Boston for a meeting on August 5.

                        

Instead of flying directly to Boston, where he might be seen arriving in the city where Romney has his campaign headquarters, Ryan flew from Chicago into Hartford's Bradley Airport. To keep from being recognized, he wore casual clothes, a baseball hat and sunglasses.

"We sent my 19-year-old son to pick him up," Myers said.

Myers son Curt shuttled Ryan from Hartford to Myers' home in Brookline, Mass., driving the car right into her garage before Ryan got out. Ryan had lunch with Myers' family while Romney drove in from Wolfboro, N.H. -- also entering her home through the garage.

Drake Will Produce New Aaliyah Album!

      

Aubrey Graham, known as Drake is a Canadian born rapper/singer and actor who signed to Cash Money Records under Lil' Wayne's sub label Young Money Entertainment. He along with Kevin Rudolf, Nicki Minaj and Tyga rolled out in 2009 as the rebirth of the once struggling label. 

He was born in Toronto, Ontario, to American father and Canadian Jewish mother. When his parent's divorce, Drake moved with his mother to Forest Hill, Toronto. He originally became known for playing Jimmy Brooks on the television series Degrassi: The Next Generation, but also began to rise to stardom with the release of multiple mixtapes that began to generate hype for his future career as a rapper.

Cash Money Records is based out of New Orleans was home to then multi-platinum rapper Juvenile, street rapper B.G., and the youngest rappers Lil' Wayne and Turk. They formed the Hot Boys. Co-founder Bryan "Baby (aka Birdman)" Williams and in-house producer Mannie Fresh formed the group The Big Tymers. They all released albums during their rise in 1998 to 2005. Mannie Fresh went on produce most of their solo albums at the time.

Aaliyah was killed August 25, 2001 in a tragic plane crash in The Bahamas.

According to Wikipedia, Cash Money's big break came in 1998 when the Hot Boys, B.G. and Juvenile in particular, caught the attention of Universal Records executives. In 1998, Cash Money signed a $30 million pressing and distribution with $3 million advance contract with Universal, entitling the label to 85% of its royalties, 50% of its publishing revenues and ownership of all masters.

Nowadays, Cash Money Records is mostly focused on the rising career of Lil' Wayne and his own record label Young Money. With the signing of Drake, the rap label went through a major overhaul from the bounce catchy Southern beats, to a sophisticated style of music that appeals to a more pop friendly audience.

Drake surpassed Jay-Z as the rapper with the most number one hits on the Billboard 200 hot singles list.

Drake declared his love for the late singer Aaliyah. Aaliyah was killed in a plane crash in the Bahamas after filming a music video. Her death in August 2001, came at the peak of the R & B singer's rising movie career.

                       
Aaliyah Dana Houghton broke into the music scene in 1994 as a protege of R. Kelly. Her album Age Ain't Nothing But A Number went on to sell over 3 million copies. After a bitter fallout with R. Kelly, the singer team up with up-and-coming producer Tim Mosley (aka Timbaland) and rapper Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliot to work on her albums. One In A Million, went on to be one of the singer's most critically acclaimed albums. Her final album Aaliyah was released in July 2001. Her smash single "Rock The Boat" and "We Need A Resolution" became instant hits.

It's been over a decade since Aaliyah's death. The singer's legacy continues to influence a new generation of singers and entertainers. Drake was one who felt her influence in the industry inspired him. He declared that his interest in working on a posthumous album.

Drake tattooed the late singer Aaliyah on his back and his start up label OVOXO. 

In an interview with SoulCulture TV, the rapper stated that R&B singer Aaliyah has had the biggest influence on his career:

Aaliyah has had probably the most impact on my career because when I made a choice to start singing it was because of something that my father had told me which was, ‘There’s no rapper out there that sings and raps and does both things well… and in order to be successful you’re gonna need something other than just what everyone else is doing.

I was rapping already at the time so I had an identity in rap, but when I started singing I needed something to reference. I needed someone to be like, ‘I wanna be like that’. I didn’t want it ever to be a male because then I would sound like that person, so I just found comfort in all of Aaliyah’s music and her melody choices and the things that she talks about – and how she always conveyed these amazing emotions but never got too sappy, she always kept it G. That had the biggest influence on my music because – as much as my music may be geared towards women – I try not to make it so that only women can sing it.

The first single released is "Enough Said", and it's produced by Drake's long time producer Noah 40 Shebib.



The release of this single comes after Blackground Records founders Berry and Jomo Henderson allowed access to unreleased demos and outtakes. Drake, Missy Elliot and Timbaland are slated to work on this album and it's planned release in late 2012.

Drake appears under the banter of Universal-Republic Records under Cash Money Records.
