Chris Brown Shows His TRUE Talent Tonight On Larry King: That Would Be A Despicable Lying, Cowardly Woman Beater! OH! But We Already Knew That!

Hey all you Chris Brown fans out there! Get your popcorn and favorite drinky drink ready as your icon joins Larry King TONIGHT @ 9pm on CNN! I heard that he is going to absolutely, positively LIE his behind off! I don’t know why he would do that because his career is all but over at this point. No amount of lying can save that Titanic because it has already sunk!

That’s right! I know how you Chris Brown fans like to keep Tammy Wynette’s country classic “Stand By Your Man” on constant repeat, so get ready to watch your man say that he doesn’t remember beating the daylights and practically choking the life out of his then girlfriend, Rihanna. Whom Brown also admits that he still loves. Yep. Can’t wait myself! I am practically foaming at the mouth!

I wondered why it was that Chris Brown chose to go on Larry King instead of, let’s say Oprah or Tyra Banks show. Could it be that these two women couldn’t be trusted to allow Chris Brown to LIE his way to some sort of redemption? I mean come on! What teenaged to mid twenties young women watch Larry King? To salvage your tarnished career, everybody knows that Oprah’s couch is the key! Washed up Whitney even knows that!

But, to go on Oprah would mean that Chris Brown would have to own up to the truth and come correct with the reasoning behind it. Tears are definitely a plus toward an Oprah sanctioned redemption! Women everywhere, around the world tune into Oprah at least a dozen times a year. Some every day. Everyone knows that if its a comeback you’re looking for and you’ve been a tad naughty, take it to the Oprah couch. Or at least Dr. Phil.

That’s why no one is going to be quick to believe a word out of Chris Brown’s mouth. His publicists and attorneys have all but ruined his life and career by their bogus strategies of silence and then denial.

I know one thing, Chris Brown didn’t tell that judge in California that flat out lie about blacking out. But, he is willing to feed the public that crap because he and his redemption team think that we are stupid and ignorant. No domestic violence victim wants to hear that load of garbage!

Yeah, Chris Brown blacked out alright!

It was when the LAPD sirens were within hearing distance as he was wringing Rihanna’s little neck. That’s when Chris Brown realized that he had just choked the life out of his short career and blacked out.

President Barack Obama Hosts Iftar Dinner At The White House: Remarks

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

AT IFTAR DINNER

 

State Dining Room

 

 

8:08 P.M. EDT

 

 

     THE PRESIDENT:  Please, everybody have a seat.  Thank you.  Well, it is my great pleasure to host all of you here at the White House to mark this special occasion — Ramadan Kareem. 

I want to say that I’m deeply honored to welcome so many members of the diplomatic corps, as well as several members of my administration and distinguished members of Congress, including the first two Muslims to serve in Congress — Keith Ellison and Andre Carson.  Where are they?  (Applause.) 

Just a few other acknowledgements I want to make.  We have Senator Richard Lugar here, who’s our Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.  Where is Dick Lugar?  There he is.  (Applause.)  Representative John Conyers, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee.  (Applause.)  Representative Rush Holt is here.  Thank you, Rush.  (Applause.)  Have we found you a seat, Rush?  (Laughter.)

REPRESENTATIVE HOLT:  I’m on my way to the train.  (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT:  I got you.

We also have here — Secretary of Defense Gates is here.  Secretary Gates.  (Applause.)  Our Attorney General, Eric Holder.  (Applause.)  And Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius is here.  (Applause.)

And most of all, I want to welcome all the American Muslims from many walks of life who are here.  This is just one part of our effort to celebrate Ramadan, and continues a long tradition of hosting iftars here at the White House.  

For well over a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of intense devotion and reflection.  It’s a time of service and support for those in need.  And it is also a time for family and friends to come together in a celebration of their faith, their communities, and the common humanity that all of us share.  It is in that spirit that I welcome each and every one of you to the White House.

Tonight’s iftar is a ritual that is also being carried out this Ramadan at kitchen tables and mosques in all 50 states. Islam, as we know, is part of America.  And like the broader American citizenry, the American Muslim community is one of extraordinary dynamism and diversity — with families that stretch back generations and more recent immigrants; with Muslims of countless races and ethnicities, and with roots in every corner of the world.

Indeed, the contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country.  American Muslims are successful in business and entertainment; in the arts and athletics; in science and in medicine.  Above all, they are successful parents, good neighbors, and active citizens.

So on this occasion, we celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan, and we also celebrate how much Muslims have enriched America and its culture — in ways both large and small.  And with us here tonight, we see just a small sample of those contributions.  Let me share a few stories with you briefly.

Elsheba Khan’s son, Kareem, made the ultimate sacrifice for his country when he lost his life in Iraq.  Kareem joined the military as soon as he finished high school.  He would go on to win the Purple Heart and Bronze Star, along with the admiration of his fellow soldiers.  In describing her son, Elsheba said, “He always wanted to help any way that he could.”  Tonight, he’s buried alongside thousands of heroes in Arlington National Cemetery.  A crescent is carved into his grave, just as others bear the Christian cross or the Jewish star.  These brave Americans are joined in death as they were in life — by a common commitment to their country, and the values that we hold dear.

One of those values is the freedom to practice your religion — a right that is enshrined in the First Amendment of the Constitution.  Nashala Hearn, who joins us from Muskogee, Oklahoma, took a stand for that right at an early age.  When her school district told her that she couldn’t wear the hijab, she protested that it was a part of her religion.  The Department of Justice stood behind her, and she won her right to practice her faith.  She even traveled to Washington to testify before Congress.  Her words spoke to a tolerance that is far greater than mistrust — when she first wore her headscarf to school, she said, “I received compliments from the other kids.”

Another young woman who has thrived in her school is Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir.  She’s not even 5’5 — where’s Bilqis?  Right here.  Stand up, Bilqis, just so that we — (laughter) — I want everybody to know — she’s got heels on.  She’s 5’5 — Bilqis broke Rebecca Lobo’s record for the most points scored by any high school basketball player in Massachusetts history.  (Applause.)  She recently told a reporter, “I’d like to really inspire a lot of young Muslim girls if they want to play basketball.  Anything is possible.  They can do it, too.”  As an honor student, as an athlete on her way to Memphis, Bilqis is an inspiration not simply to Muslim girls — she’s an inspiration to all of us.

Of course, we know that when it comes to athletes who have inspired America, any list would include the man known simply as The Greatest.  And while Muhammad Ali could not join us tonight, it is worth reflecting upon his remarkable contributions, as he’s grown from an unmatched fighter in the ring to a man of quiet dignity and grace who continues to fight for what he believes — and that includes the notion that people of all faiths holds things in common.  I love this quote.  A few years ago, he explained this view — and this is part of why he’s The Greatest — saying, “Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams — they all have different names, but they all contain water.  Just as religions do — they all contain truths.” 

They all contain truths.  Among those truths are the pursuit of peace and the dignity of all human beings.  That must always form the basis upon which we find common ground.  And that is why I am so pleased that we are joined tonight not only by so many outstanding Muslim Americans and representatives of the diplomatic corps, but people of many faiths — Christians, Jews, and Hindus — along with so many prominent Muslims.

Together, we have a responsibility to foster engagement grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect.  And that’s one of my fundamental commitments as President, both at home and abroad.  That is central to the new beginning that I’ve sought between the United States and Muslims around the world.  And that is a commitment that we can renew once again during this holy season. 

So tonight, we celebrate a great religion, and its commitment to justice and progress.  We honor the contributions of America’s Muslims, and the positive example that so many of them set through their own lives.  And we rededicate ourselves to the work of building a better and more hopeful world.

So thanks to all of you for taking the time to be here this evening.  I wish you all a very blessed Ramadan.  And with that, I think we can start a feast.  I don’t know what’s on the menu, but I’m sure it will be good.  (Laughter.)  Thank you very much, everybody.  (Applause.)

Presidential Press Conference On H1N1 National Preparedness And Response

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

ON 2009-H1N1 NATIONAL PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE

 

Rose Garden

 

 

2:13 P.M. EDT

 

 

     THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody.  Before I say a few words about the meeting we just had I’d like to mention some good news that came out today about our economy.  For the first time in 18 months, our manufacturing sector has expanded, and the statistics used to measure manufacturing output is the highest it’s been in over two years.

 

     This means greater production of transportation equipment like cars, and electronic equipment like computers and appliances, and it means these companies are starting to invest more and produce more, and it is a sign that we’re on the path to economic recovery. 

 

     There’s no doubt that we have a long way to go, and I and the other members of this administration will not let up until those Americans who are looking for jobs can find them.  But this is another important sign that we’re heading in the right direction, and that the steps we’ve taken to bring our economy back from the brink are working. 

 

     Now, we just had a good meeting about our ongoing efforts to prepare this country for the H1N1 flu virus this fall.  And I want to thank John Brennan, our CDC Director Tom Frieden, and Secretaries Sebelius, Napolitano, Duncan, and Locke, for all the good work that they’ve been doing to get us ready today.

 

     As I said when we saw the first cases of this virus back in the spring, I don’t want anybody to be alarmed, but I do want everybody to be prepared.  We know that we usually get a second, larger wave of these flu viruses in the fall, and so response plans have been put in place across all levels of government.  Our plans and decisions are based on the best scientific information available, and as the situation changes, we will continue to update the public.

 

     We’re also making steady progress on developing a safe and effective H1N1 flu vaccine, and we expect a flu shot program will begin soon.  This program will be completely voluntary, but it will be strongly recommended. 

 

     For all that we do in the federal government, however, every American has a role to play in responding to this virus.  We need state and local governments on the front lines to make antiviral medications and vaccines available, and be ready to take whatever steps are necessary to support the health care system.  We need hospitals and health care providers to continue preparing for an increased patient load, and to take steps to protect health care workers.  We need families and businesses to ensure that they have plans in place if a family member, a child, or a co-worker contracts the flu and needs to stay home. 

 

     And most importantly we need everyone to get informed about individual risk factors, and we need everyone to take the common-sense steps that we know can make a difference.  Stay home if you’re sick.  Wash your hands frequently.  Cover your sneezes with your sleeve, not your hands.  And take all the necessary precautions to stay healthy.  I know it sounds simple, but it’s important and it works.

 

     Finally, for people who want to learn more about this virus, please go to www.flu.gov, or talk to your doctor. 

 

     I want to commend every member of our team.  I think we’ve done an extraordinary job in preparing for this flu outbreak.  We anticipate that there will be some issues coming up over the next several months.  The way it’s moving is still somewhat unpredictable, but what I’m absolutely confident about is that our team that’s assembled here has done an extraordinary job in preparing for whatever may happen.

 

     So we appreciate all of you for being here, and I want to publicly again thank you for all your extraordinarily hard work.  All right.
