VIDEO: COUNTRY SINGER COMPARES PRESIDENT OBAMA TO HITLER + GETS PULLED FROM ESPN

President Barack Obama is in full swing campaigning for re-election. At a fundraiser event on Tuesday in Dallas, the president predicted he’d win again although an ABC/Washington Post poll suggests the majority thinks he’ll be a one-term president.

Whatever the case may be, it should come as no surprise that opponents, critics and the like will continue taking even more jabs at him. The most notably recent one comes from country singer Hank Williams Jr., who compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler on Monday morning’s Fox and Friends, calling the president and Vice President Joe Biden “the enemy” and commenting that House Speaker John Boehner and the president’s golf game was like “Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu”.

CL TOPIC: MEDIA PROTECTS PRESIDENT OBAMA BECAUSE HE’S BLACK? – WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?

President Barack Obama delivers remarks during the Human Rights Campaign’s 15th Annual National Dinner at the Washington Convention Center on Saturday (October 1) in Washington, DC. The President spoke to one of the leading gay rights groups two weeks after the repeal of the military’s ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy.

In a recent interview with Media Research Center, Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) said that President Barack Obama’s race protects him from criticism from the media.

Reagan was beautiful because Reagan simplified everything, so let’s simplify it. This guy pushed every one of the media’s buttons. He was liberal, he was different, he was new, he was black. Oh my God, it was the potpourri of everything. They are so vested in our first black president not being a failure that it’s going to be amazing to watch the lengths they go to protect him. They [the media], I believe, will spout this racist line if some of their colleagues up here aren’t doing it aggressively enough. There is going to be a real desperation.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) shared similar sentiments at a Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) town-hall, asserting that the CBC doesn’t put pressure on the President because blacks love him, but we want to hear from you on the topic.


DO WE GIVE PRESIDENT OBAMA A PASS BECAUSE OF HIS RACE?

POLITICS/VIDEO: PRES. OBAMA PUSHES THE ‘AMERICAN JOBS ACT’ DURING BLACK CAUCUS EVENT

President Barack Obama addresses the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Annual Phoenix Awards this past weekend in Washington, D.C.

During his speech, the President stressed the importance of passing the American Jobs Act, to put more people back to work, and more money back in the pockets of people who are working, read a snippet below:

ON THE JOBS ACT:
We’ve got millions of unemployed Americans and young people looking for work but running out of options. So this jobs bill says, let’s give them a pathway, a new pathway back to work. Let’s extend unemployment insurance so that more than six million Americans don’t lose that lifeline. But let’s also encourage reforms that help the long-term unemployed keep their skills sharp and get a foot in the door. Let’s give summer jobs for low-income youth that don’t just give them their first paycheck but arm them with the skills they need for life.

MESSAGE TO THE BLACK CAUCUS:
With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I’m going to press on for equality. I’m going to press on for the sake of our children. I’m going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I am going to press on.

I expect all of you to march with me and press on. Take off your bedroom slippers, put on your marching shoes. Shake it off. Stop complaining, stop grumbling, stop crying. We are going to press on. We’ve got work to do, CBC. [ READ MORE @ WHITEHOUSE.GOV]

CANDIDS: FIRST LADY HOSTS U.S. OPEN TENNIS CLINIC, PLAYS AGAINST SERENA WILLIAMS

After hustlin’ and bustin’ splits on the tennis court, while serving the tennis balls at lightning speed, Serena Williams is making a strong comeback! After suffering from an ankle/foot injury late last year, Serena has been dominating the courts at this year’s U.S. Open.

On Thursday, Serena made the cut for the major tournament’s semi-finals round after a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. The next day, the First Lady, Michelle Obama payed a visit to the U.S. Open for the first time with some kids in conjunction with her Let’s Move! campaign against childhood obesity.

After playing a round against Serena Williams, Mrs. Obama addressed the group of young kids at her tennis clinic and admitted her love for tennis even though she may not be the best player:

“I’m not really good or anything like that. That’s the beauty of tennis,” she said. “You don’t have to be good to enjoy it. I love the game, and my skills are very questionable.”

She ended her little talk with the kids by adding that tennis is “a sport you can do forever.” [Source]
