[WASHINGTONPOST] The author of a Minnesota newspaper slideshow that called President B.O. an "assclown" for using a selfie stick apologized Monday.
Sports producer Kevin Cusick used a photo of Obama using a selfie stick from last week's BuzzFeed video in a slide show countdown of the newsmakers of the day on the St. Paul Pioneer Press's Web site. The photo description called selfies, "A fool-proof way to make yourself look like a self-absorbed assclown" before being edited to read "self-absorbed celebrity," according to Minneapolis-St. Paul Fox affiliate KMSP.

They only apologized after assclowns complained about being associated with Obama.

Not everyone was thrilled by President Obama's plan to designate another national monument in Colorado, this time a 21,000-acre area around the Arkansas River called Browns Canyon.
While Democrats and environmental groups cheered the pending announcement, some Colorado Republicans were fuming over Mr. Obama's repeated use of the Antiquities Act to bypass the legislative process and create national monuments on his own.
Rep. Ken Buck, Colorado Republican, issued a statement calling on Mr. Obama to "cut it out."
"He is not king. No more acting like King Barack," Mr. Buck said. "That is not how we do things in the U.S. Actions like this lead the American people to view Mr. Obama's presidency as an imperial presidency."
Browns Canyon becomes the third national monument to be designated by Mr. Obama under the Antiquities Act in Colorado and the 16th nationally. The president is expected to make the announcement Thursday in Chicago.
Mr. Obama will also reportedly designate as national monuments Chicago's Pullman Historic District and the Honouliuli Internment Camp in Hawaii. All three designations were praised by environmental groups.
"President Obama continues to take bold steps to protect America's special places and we can't wait to see what's next," said the League of Conservation Voters in a statement.

Sorry Rep. Ken Buck, there is more to come, 628 days and counting.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki will become President Barack Obama's new communications director, filling a key slot as Obama embarks on the final two years of his presidency, White House officials said Thursday.
She replaces veteran Democratic media strategist Jennifer Palmieri, who is leaving the White House to join Hillary Rodham Clinton's likely presidential campaign. Psaki will step into her new role April 1.
In a statement, Obama embraced Palmieri as a "good friend" friend and praised her as a "brilliant and effective communications director and trusted adviser."
"I'd say Jen is irreplaceable - if Jen Psaki hadn't agreed to step in," Obama said. "I fully trust Jen - and I am thrilled she's agreed to come back to the White House as communications director."
Psaki will be returning to the White House where she helped craft Obama's message during the president's first term. She has been part of Obama's team since 2007, when she was traveling press secretary during his first presidential campaign
and coordinator of seating at campaign events

Somehow, I feel that if I was in the middle of a group of ultra-conservative Christians I would be in far less danger of getting my head cut off or burned alive in a cage than I would be in the middle of a bunch of ultra-conservative Muslims.

If you believe you are in more danger in the company of bible thumpers who aren't into gay marriage than radical Muslims - a point of view now inhabited by the vast bulk of Democrats and nearly the entirety of the education industry and "news" industry - you are some combination of stupid, poorly informed, and fake educated.

Atrocities are committed on a daily basis in the name of "safety" and "just think of the children". What's you f^&king point Mr. Creepy Dumb Uncle Guy?
[Fox] A controversial U.S. Muslim leader who has been highly critical of Israel and said that the Jooowish state should be on the "suspect list" in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks participated on Tuesday in a White House summit on Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) that featured Vice President Joe 'Plugs' Biden.
Salam Al-Marayati, founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), tweeted out a photo of himself at the White House with Biden and bragged, "We joined Plugs for a discussion at the White House Summit which kicked off today." Little more than a shameless Mooslim Broederbond sensing session.

Yes, we do, Ana. Anybody who isn't willing to cheat to win an election doesn't deserve to win.
