underpants's JournalIt must be RUN AWAY day - first Ricketts and now Breibart.com on "Obama born in Kenya"
Note from Senior Management:
Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.
I will provide the link if you want it.
oh but they originally posted the story have this:

Obama 'Kenya' Lit Booklet Raises Question MSM Will Refuse to Ask
by John Nolte
now ABC News has the (we all knew this) explanation

"This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me--an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote in an emailed statement to Yahoo News. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

CHART: Spending, Taxes, And Deficits Are All Lower Today Than When Obama Took Office
http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/05/15/484767/obama-budget-chart/
In January 2009, before President Obama had even taken the oath of office, annual spending was set to total 24.9 percent of gross domestic product. Total spending this year, fiscal year 2012, is expected to top out at 23.4 percent of GDP.
Here’s another interesting fact. Taxes today are lower than they were on inauguration day 2009. Back in January 2009, the CBO projected that total federal tax revenue that year would amount to 16.5 percent of GDP. This year? 15.8 percent.
One last nugget. The deficit this year is going to be lower than what it was on the day President Obama took office. Back then, the CBO said the 2009 deficit would be 8.3 percent of GDP. This year’s deficit is expected to come in at 7.6 percent.
More ridiculous?

The WHY in President Obama's pro-gay marriage statement
Rightwing radio and TV (all TV basically) is in the process to planting in everyone's mind that it was the result of pressure from his contributors. A cold political move...like Republican debates weren't just a checklist of Fox News talking points.
I think (my two cents) it is the result of two other cold political realities.
1.Biden didn't say he "had no problem with it" by accident. Yeah Joe slips up from time to time but a more plausible explanation than the rightwing spin is that Obama and Axelrod polled on this and found that is *DING* *DING* *DING* scores with voters, especially the middle. Only the RIGHT and the LEFT are set on this - the middle is indifferent or leaning toward "Hey why not?"
2. Romney and the Republicans counterattack makes them look mean and cold. This scares off the middle. Obama gave them a bigger shovel.
It could very well be some mix of all three explanations but either way we all know it is the right (correct) thing to do. Ignore the North Carolina vote, that was done simply for division and is a sad illustration of how the masses can be coerced to actually vote against rights for their fellow countrymen.
Gay marriage will win in court either on the argument supported by the equal protection clause or, more likely, the due process clause.
The Constitution establishes that religion should have no place in governance and the argument that marriage is a religous institution only supports that the government should pay no attention to what churches say on this issue. Or any other.
Gay marriage: After Obama speaks out, so does nation (LA Times) -- good comments
Ted Olson, the lawyer who helped lead the court challenge to overturn California’s ban on same-sex marriages, Proposition 8, called Wednesday “a proud day for all Americans.”
“The bedrock American principles of freedom and human dignity are central to the political and legal convictions of Republicans, Democrats, liberals, and conservatives alike,” said Olson -- who served as U.S. solicitor general under President George W. Bush -- in a statement released by the group that backed the court case, American Foundation for Equal Rights. “President Obama’s words remind us that marriage and equality are universal values that unite us all. They remind us that we are all — as a people and a nation — striving to form a more perfect union.”
“Obama: Marriage? Gay is okay!” (Glee's Jane) Lynch tweeted. “Pretty darn happy today. Thanks Mr President, for supporting the dignity of my family and so many others!”
"Even though he did it a little late under political pressure - very happy to hear the President come out in support of gay marriage,” (Megan) McCain tweeted. "Unfortunately the issue of gay marriage is still a state to state issue that continues to lose at the ballot box..."
