    Well, well, well! So the new pope is Pope Francis I from Argentina! And he’s an advocate for the poor. The media swore up and down a conservative cardinal from Milan was gonna get it.

    The U.S. media…so loud, so wrong.

    I know this was posted in the morning thread, but after getting slapped upside the head by my wife for looking too hard I think I deserve to comment on this:

    http://www.jpost.com/NationalNews/Article.aspx?id=306268

    Seriously, I always though Obama Derangement Syndrome has only 5 Stages, but after this comment:

    “She is attractive, but generally speaking, she is not beautiful. If Israel wanted to pick a darker skinned woman, the Yemenites are gorgeous. Picking the first black just when Obama is coming does sound a bit strange….”

    We may have to add a 6th Stage> Hating Obama so much now every black person in the world is an affirmative action hire thanks to Obama/ Even in Africa.

    • Miranda

      Its true though…you didn’t know? Every single thing we own or have is all because of Obama giving it to us through some secretive reparations account that we have to access through a check cashing store on MLK Blvd (doesn’t matter the city – there’s a MLK Blvd, bound to be a check cashing store on it).

      • conlakappa

        You are so wrong about MLK Blvd., echoing a Chris Rock classic.

    • MsKitty

      The hate runs deep. You can go to the comments section for an article about cute puppies and it will be chock full of Obama hate comments.

      TMZ posted a tweet the other day about LeBron James’ upcoming wedding taking place the same day as Yom Kippur, and boom, first comment out the gate – “Another chance for Obama and Mooch to spend our taxpayer dollars to hang out with their celebrity friends.”

      All I can do is laugh at these people now.

      • Alma98

        Believe it or not some black fools were trying to connect PBO to the Kwame Kilpatrick mess. People are losing their s**t for real.

            Oh I don’t know about that jziglar. Frankly I still have questions as to PBO’s whereabouts just before Lincoln entered Ford’s Theater.

            And about those Nixon tapes…

      • Town

        Right, a state trooper (who was black) was killed by a crazed black motorist here last week, and people were blaming OBAMA in the comments. SMH!

      • jziglar

        Well when you have racist beliefs and you have jealously in your heart it’s typical for them to act like this. The funny thing is that they believe that their hatred will effect the people they hate but it doesn’t.

      • edp4bho

        So true. One good thing…..they will have Obama on the brain till their dying days.

    • rikyrah

      Hating Obama so much now every black person in the world is an affirmative action hire thanks to Obama/ Even in Africa.

      ain’t that a bitch

    • GN

      Not news that black people are paying a high price and catching hell due to racist reactionaries anger that a black man is in the WH. They can’t dislodge him, but they can take out their rage in other ways, and they have been doing so. Polling right before the elections showed that rather than a post-racial America coming about, racism against black people has *increased* during the past four years.

      • nellcote

        Do you think all the black conservatives being pushed foreward by the goopers are “affirmative action” hires?

        • GN

          With some exceptions, I think that they’re tokens. The GOP quite openly doesn’t believe in diversity as a value or something to strive to attain, thus some of their characters such as Allen West seem to simply be cynical caricatures of diversity—extreme regressives in of color skin. I don’t think that this is true of black conservatives across the board (for example, I don’t view Colin Powell in this manner), but I’d argue that tokenism is true of most of the GOP’s black superstars.

    Black Americans are Not Stupid, Nor Do We Need Your Advice: An Open Letter to Townhall’s Katie Kieffer

    Dear Katie Kieffer, the nice white conservative lady who only has the best interests of Black Americans at heart:

    I appreciate your concern for black people’s political wisdom. I know these feelings must run deep and could never be a function of a need to write a provocative column for the Right-wing website Townhall, or in response to an almost deranged and mouth-breathing brute force partisan hostility towards Barack Obama, the country’s first black president.

    I am sure you are a member of the NAACP, mentor and volunteer with organizations which help black youth in under-served communities, have had black people over your house to eat, and count them as friends in some other capacity than as a nurse or maid. I am also sure that you have let those best friends of yours who are black use the toilet in your house, and did not send them to the McDonald’s across the street or the corner filling station. You may have also had a black lover or two.

    We are babysitting for youngest grandson over night. We were doing the wash your hands thing when he spotted my newest tooth brush. It’s Star Wars with a Yoda handle. I discovered some years ago that children’s tooth brushes fit my small mouth better than adult ones. (No sarcastic comments, por favor!)

    Anyway, Grandson was: “How come you get a Yoda tooth brush?”

    U.S. Tax Cheats Nailed After Swiss Adviser Mails It In
    By David Voreacos & Patricia Hurtado – Mar 13, 2013 10:54 AM ET

    Everybody knows the danger of sending things inadvertently in an e-mail. Beda Singenberger’s case shows you also have to be pretty careful when you mail things the old-fashioned way.

    Over an 11-year period, federal prosecutors charge, Swiss financial adviser Singenberger helped 60 people in the U.S. hide $184 million in secret offshore accounts bearing colorful names like Real Cool Investments Ltd. and Wanderlust Foundation. more here: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-12/u-s-tax-cheats-picked-off-after-adviser-mails-it-in.html

      • Miranda

        I love this dude. The fact that he had enough foresight to remain hidden because he wanted the attention on Mitt and Mitt’s words and not on himself was absolutely correct. If he had done any interview, the right wing with mega assistance from the msm would have flipped the script and dug all in his background and did everything to destroy him. He totally saw the long goal and stuck to it. Gosh I wish I could personally thank him!

          True dat. And, to think, the bartender, the bartender did it!! And, the reason he decided to come forward is because Romney is twisting the truth, not doing anything to move the country forward but instead practices vulture capitalism.

          Scott Prouty should go on a speaking tour. He’s great!

    — — – -On Wednesday, March 13th, in Washington, Vice President Joe Biden (pictured center) and U.S. Department of Justice chief Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured left) announced a series of programs that seek to curb instances of domestic violence.

    - – - -Coming on the heels of President Barack Obama‘s signing of the expanded Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) last week, these new programs address a troubling trend. National averages show that at least three women die a day from incidents related to domestic violence. The new Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative (DVHP Initiative) gives assistance to states that hope to reverse those numbers.

    The DVHP Initiative, launched by the Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), will offer grants to 12 cities and counties and create state and local programs focusing on identifying victims and monitoring the actions of high-risk and repeat offenders. The states of Maryland and Massachusetts previously implemented a similar strategy, and the DVHP Initiative is modeled after those plans.
    - — -Vice President Biden on the DVHP Initiative:- -
    - – - —SNIP- – — –

    - —–The President’s initiative on domestic violence will be of particular importance in African-American communities. Why? African-American women and other women of color face domestic violence at a disproportionate rate compared to Whites. The National Violence Against Women Survey highlighted that African-American and Native American/Alaskan Indian women and men had more reports of domestic violence incidents than any other community. – — – - -

    – - — – – - -Cory Booker, the two-term Democratic mayor of Newark and all but certain candidate for U.S. Senate next year, has launched a quiet but aggressive fundraising campaign that will take him to as many as eight events, from Manhattan to Florida to California, over the next month and a half, BuzzFeed has learned.

    Since announcing last December that he would “consider” a bid for the Senate, Booker has declined to make his candidacy official, saying only that he won’t make an announcement until after the New Jersey gubernatorial race this November.

    – - -But event RSVP forms posted on the mayor’s political website — hidden from the homepage, but still searchable to the public — make clear that his still nascent fundraising efforts are robust, and that his campaign operation is already well underway.

    – -The event listings show that Booker will head to Manhattan on March 21 to Quinn Emanuel, a white-shoe law firm, for a lunch reception; to Newark, N.J., later that night for a dinner at the restaurant, Adega Grill; to Florida for two private-home receptions, first in Ft. Lauderdale on March 22, and next in Palm Beach the following night; to Washington D.C. on April 1, for a reception at the DC Society of Young Professionals; and then back to New York on April 9, for an event at the home of Barry Coller, the physician in chief of Rockefeller University Hospital.

After the president’s inaugrual address, Ryan said, “What I was really hoping was he would say, ‘I want to deal with this debt crisis before it takes our economy off the rails, before it guarantees our children and our grand children are sated with our debts.’ That’s really what I was aching to hear.”

Ed Schultz devoted a full hour tonight to Scott Prouty, focusing at length on the great risk he took by anonymously handing over a videotape that was shot in a room filled with cameras. – - – - -

    - —— -GOP Congressman Says Supreme Court Doesn’t Actually Get To Decide Whether Laws Are Constitutional – - -

    — — – -Still smarting over last year’s ruling upholding Obamacare, freshman Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) dismissed the idea that the Supreme Court decides whether or not laws are constitutional. – - -

    – - -THIS _ – –“Just because the Supreme Court rules on something doesn’t necessarily mean that that’s constitutional,” Bridenstine said in a Daily Caller interview posted Sunday. After accusing Democrats of “stacking the courts in their favor” — five of the current nine justices were appointed by Republican presidents — Bridenstine dismissed the idea that Congress must write laws within the boundaries set by the Supreme Court. “That’s not the case,” the Oklahoma congressman said.

    The interviewer, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni Thomas, didn’t have the heart to correct Bridenstine’s peculiar view of the Court’s role.

    – — -House votes 246-181 to block Obama’s welfare-work waiver rule- –

    – – — -The House voted Wednesday to block the Obama administration’s attempt to waive a requirement that people must work or prepare for a job in order to receive federal welfare benefits.

    In a 246-181 vote, the House approved the Preserving Work Requirements for Welfare Programs Act. After a partisan floor debate, the bill won the support of 18 Democrats, while three Republicans opposed the GOP bill.

    – — The bill is a reaction to last year’s guidance from the Department of Health and Human Service (HHS), which told states that the so-called welfare-work requirement can be waived. — -

    Republicans criticized the waiver as an attempt to gut what they said was one of the most important pieces of the 1996 welfare reform law. That law turned the federal welfare program into a block grant to states under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.

    It also required that within each state, 50 percent of all families receiving help under TANF must be working or looking for work — states can be fined if they fail to hit that target.
