Talk about being in tune with public opinion! According to the NY Times, In a recent press release from the White House, press secretary Robert Gibbs stated that although the date and time of President Obama’s next State of the Union address is not known, it will definitely not be in the same time slot as the anticipated season premiere of  ’Lost’s final season. “I don’t foresee a scenario in which the millions of people that hope to finally get some conclusion in ‘Lost’ are preempted by the president,” Mr. Gibbs said.

Millions of Losties across the nation just found a new reason to love the President!

Alright, so maybe it’s his lovely wife, Michelle’s. Still, as Asylum.com so graciously pointed out, booty is booty. Not even our commander in chief can resist a nice one.  Kudos, Mr. President, for keeping it real.

Three Secret Service officials are on paid leave for letting an uninvited couple into the White House for Barack Obama’s Debut State Dinner last week. The two took several pictures with various officials and even shook hands with the President and his wife.

Apparently, the couple, who are aspiring reality TV show contestants, were able to “talk their way through” security, even though they were not on the invite list.

Seriously, Secret Service? I watched a bouncer at a downtown bar reject some guy because he didn’t have a collared shirt on. You work for the President of The United States, and you can’t keep two creeps out of the WHITE HOUSE? Sounds like it’s time for a new career path.

Now, this takes some guts. Laughing in the face of authority, comedian David Cross reportedly did a bump of cocaine while at the Washington Correspondents Dinner less than 50 feet away from the President. According to Movieline.com, Cross reportedly pulled the stunt to one-up a friend that supposedly did a bump at the DEA Museum. That’s one high stakes game of “I Dare You.”

You may know David Cross from his television role as Tobias on the critically acclaimed by short-lived series “Arrested Development.”  He is also known for a public feud with comedian Larry The Cable Guy. For the time being, he’s one of the ballsiest people to attend the Washington Correspondents Dinner. Aside from Stephen Colbert, that is.

President Barack Obama was announced as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize amidst a wave of criticism. Many are saying that President Obama has not achieved enough in his short time in office to warrant such a high honor. While others argue that the purpose of awarding President Obama was to “recognize hopeful promise over concrete achievement.”

“I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments but rather an affirmation of American leadership,” the President was quoted by Reuters.com. “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the common challenges of the 21st century.”

Regardless of the controversy, this is a great honor for our President and country. We just hope President Obama’s message of hope doesn’t get interrupted by Kanye West.

T-Pain makes health care reform sound a whole lot better.

Obama’s perception as an elitist has been hailed as a step forward for African Americans. It’s about time somebody had the guts to point this out. Video below.
