Obama on Fox: Health Care Reform Will Pass

This is about reform, not 'procedural rules,' he says

(NEWSER) - President Obama tells Fox News he isn't worried about the legislative acrobatics under way to pass health care reform—and voters shouldn't be, either. "I don't spend a lot of time worrying about what the procedural rules are in the House or Senate,'' Obama said in a rare interview with the network. "What I can tell you is that the vote that's taken in the House will be a vote for health care reform. And if people vote yes, whatever form that takes, that is going to be a vote for health care reform." He later predicted it would pass. More»

SNL Scrapped Skit Mocking Obama

Spoofed president's handling of Osama bin Laden anniversary

(NEWSER) - Saturday Night Live opened this weekend with a sketch parodying Fox News (catch highlights here) —but the show had planned a spoof of President Obama, the Daily Caller reports. The ditched sketch featured regular Obama impersonator Fred Armisen taking a lot of credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. "I hope you had a safe and joyous first anniversary of his killing," Armisen was scripted to say. "Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be at home this year." More»

Obama Blamed Fox News for Political Woes

David Corn's 'Showdown' also reveals Obama's 'secret strategy' with GOP

(NEWSER) - President Obama accused Fox News of hobbling his political success by repeatedly saying he's a Muslim, according to a new book on his administration. During a closed-door meeting with labor leaders in 2010, Obama said he was "losing white males" who watch Fox News and "hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7." This tidbit is one of many in Mother Jones reporter David Corn's new book, Showdown: The Inside Story of How Obama Fought Back Against Boehner, Cantor, and the Tea Party, Politico reports. More»

How Palin Destroyed US Politics

Richard Cohen: Now, ignorance is a virtue

(NEWSER) - HBO's Game Change is aptly titled: Sarah Palin did indeed change American politics, and not for the better, writes Richard Cohen in the Washington Post . Palin aides have confirmed the accuracy of the film's portrayal of an "ignoramus" who was "determinately incurious"; this year's "deluge of dysfunctional presidential candidates" shows that the trend has continued. "With her selection as John McCain’s running mate, American politics lost its way—and maybe its mind as well," he notes. More»

Gingrich, Palin Blast Obama Apology for Koran Burning

Hamid Karzai should apologize for violence, says Newt

(NEWSER) - Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are trying to make President Obama sorry he apologized. Obama said he's sorry for an a "inadvertent" Koran-burning incident on a US military base in Afghanistan that has sparked days of rioting and resulted in the death of two American soldiers. But Gingrich ripped the apology as an "outrage," reports ABC News . It's “Hamid Karzai who owes the American people an apology,” Gingrich said in a written statement. “This destructive double standard whereby the US and its allies refuse to hold accountable leaders who tolerate systematic violence must come to an end.” More»
