    I don't think enough people have watched this Hannity video. Please email to all your friends. Here is what we are looking at. Health Care Reform is just a big scam to benefit the people who helped get Obama elected. Don't Be fooled people, if they did it once they will do it again. This Hannity show is old, but apparently not enough people watched it! Video is on the site...

    Having the White House at your disposal means many things, but on Halloween it means there is no excuse but to have an almighty party. And the Obamas did just that in Washington last night, throwing open their - for the occasion orange-tinged - doors to thousands of children. While the President himself eshewed any fancy dress and opted for chinos and a jumper, his wife Michelle could not resist getting into the party spirit. The First Lady channelled Catwoman in furry cat ears, a striking leopard print cardigan and camisole top and dramatic eye make-up.

I wonder what our President and First Wookie will be wearing on their first Halloween? Up until now, the First Wookie has been scary enough with her outfits, so dressing up for Halloween can only appear normal compared to what we, the American people have seen. As for scary? Well we have already been scared by the bills they are trying to pass and have already passed. Ghosts and goblins on Halloween? Those are...

Mrs. Obama's work in mentoring earned her the spot, which will be rotated with four other covers. She'll receive a special recognition in the annual Women of the Year issue that goes on newsstands Nov. 10.

Her comments undermine the official story as told by Barack Obama – that Dunham was married to his father, Barack Obama Sr., at the time of birth. The remarks were made by Michelle Obama during a July 2008 round table at the University of Missouri. Obama was responding to criticism of her husband's presidential campaign speeches about fatherhood and faith-based initiatives. Michelle Obama explained her husband understands the struggles of low-income families....

Excited Washington DC school children, disembarking from yellow school buses on the South Lawn of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue were in for a big shock! The Obamas' idea of a kid's fair included sermons extolling the benefits of replacing cake and French fries with vegetables. Imagine finding out you have the afternoon off and are going to the White House for a "fair." When you get there you realize the festivities include Michelle doing...

    Michelle Obama decided to go all in. Ever since her husband took office in January, the first lady has been cautious about the causes she embraced. But with her hometown of Chicago vying to host the 2016 Olympics, Michelle boarded a plane to Copenhagen last month to make a personal appeal. She brought along Oprah Winfrey, worked her sleeveless charm on the assembled dignitaries, and even lunched with the Queen of Denmark. Her efforts culminated in a passionate televised speech to the International Olympic -Committee—-perhaps her most high-profile advocacy ever. Then it all fell flat. Rio won the Olympic bid;...

It being a Friday night and me being a happening guy and all…I decided to stay in and watch the liberal network known as NBS (no,...

    Things are so brutal out there for The Jay Leno Show that even the First Lady for it[sic] may not be able to work a miracle — and they just got a little worse. While Leno is routinely beaten in the ratings by 10pm shows on the other big networks, it fell behind another scripted drama on Tuesday, and this one was on cable. In the all-important 18-49 demographic, Leno was crushed by FX’s Sons of Anarchy, which drew 3.7 million viewers and a 2.05 rating to Leno’s 1.8. Somewhere, the cast and crew of the potentially cable-bound Southland are...

    Coming soon: a 6-inch plastic doll of Michelle Obama for $12.99, being billed as an "action figure." Sculptor Jason Feinberg of Brooklyn, N.Y., who's behind the dolls, admits the term "action figure" is used loosely. The first lady, after all, is featured in nothing more lethal than her trademark sleeveless dresses (and enviable biceps). Buyers may choose from among the purple dress she had on when the Obamas shared their campaign "fist bump," the red-and-black number from election night in Grant Park, or the black-and-white floral frock she favored for her appearance on "The View." Feinberg, founder and president of...

But her perspective changed when their pediatrician urged her to change the family eating habits because the impact of the drive-thru food...

According to genealogist Megan Smolenyak, the girl was described in papers only as "negro girl Melvinia". In her early teens, working as a slave on a farm in Georgia, she was made pregnant by an unknown white man. The son she gave birth to around the year 1859, Dolphus, was Michelle's great-great grandfather.

Yet just eight days ago her husband said she was three months old and was diagnosed with meningitis." One blog used the opportunity to reprint the Obama-as-Joker photo, HotAir.com called it "serious incompetence" on the Obamas' part, it appeared on Breitbart.tv, and the crowd over at FreeRepublic.com dubbed the president a "chronic liar."

Still, President Barack Obama's high-profile failure to win the Olympics for Chicago could feed negative narratives already nipping at his heels — that he's a better talker than closer, more celebrity than statesman. And this could hamper his efforts on the weightier issues. Despite Obama's fabled charm and powers of persuasion, his in-person plea for Chicago to host the 2016 Summer Games fell flat. It was a hugely...

    Here is video of CNN's Ed Henry today reporting from Copenhagen that it may be that First Lady Michelle Obama's "Hope and Change" theme just did not work with the Internaitonal Olympic Committee.

Henry said it may be the committee was looking for more "nuts and bolts" information about why Chicago would be the best choice. Michelle Obama even used the words "hope and change" in her remarks, and...

    Here is video of Michelle Obama's pitch to the International Olympic Committee in Copenhagen, where she said at around the 1:10 mark of the video, that some of her best memories are of "sitting on her Dad's lap," watching the Olympics, and "rooting for Olga, Nadia, Carl Lewis and others for their brilliance and perfection."

In her rush to be overly dramatic, she forgot to check some of the facts. If...

"As much of a sacrifice as people say this is for me or Oprah or the president to come for these few days," the first lady told a crowd of people involved in the Chicago project, "so many of you in this room have been working for years to bring...
