How long will it be before the Teabaggers start making ā€˜jokesā€™ about when to open the door and let the Prez OUT?

Let them. History will judge them accordingly.

Is he making sure the pillows in LePageā€™s new room are fluffy?

Comedian Bill Maher is an Exec Producer for VICE-tv. Recall that he gave Obama $1M for the last campaign. This is what can happen when you do that. Simple politic$. Not that itā€™s a bad idea, as prison reform is long overdue and Presidents typically donā€™t care one whit, but it is no doubt a bit of play-for-pay, with a deferred time-stamp. Maher has complained that he never got a Thank You card or call, but this is better for everybody, isnā€™t it?

Anyone who has taken the time to watch VICE on HBO already knows that it could be the best news program available. Itā€™s what 60 minutes ā€œusedā€ to be, before the great ones aged out to retirement or simply and unfortunately passed away. Condemning something because an executive producer donated to a campaign is quite simply silly. Itā€™s easy enough to turn that on itā€™s edge and recall the illegal and private meetings that Cheney had with API and energy producers, which ended up in the Iraq war. So, before you spew, watch VICE, especially the episode this past spring on Killing Cancer.

Who is condemning here? Just connecting dots, plus calling it a good idea. Also: The weakest part of VICE-tv is Smith and his oddball vocal inflections and weak on-air skills.

Well Iā€™m surprised itā€™s the first ever visitā€¦did not know that. (Nixon just missed an extended visit by a whiskerā€¦)

Hope he hands out a few pardons for a few of those in-mates so we can hear the backstory. That would be awesome.

I am so very happy that I was an early Obama supporter. He has exceeded all of my expectations.

I have loved this man since I first saw in at the 2004 Democratic Convention. I knew that night that I was witnessing someone special and believed he would be our first black president.

I LOVE MY PRESIDENT
