Chris Matthews: I tried to tell you Mr. President. But, you don’t answer your cell while you’re playing golf.

President Obama: Oh, so you think I play too much golf too?

Matthews: I didn’t say that Mr. President. My, that’s a very sharp crease you have in your pants, Mr. President.

Obama: What are you David Brooks now? Let’s focus Chris. What are we gonna do about Perry. This guy can kick my ass!

Al Sharpton: Mr. President?

Sharpton: Yeah, but….

Obama: Shut up, Al. I’ll get to you in a minute. What do we do, Chris?

Matthews: Let’s see, what can we do? Oh, I got it. I’ll call him crazy on my show.

Obama: Crazy huh?

Obama: Hmm. Crazy and a racist?

Sharpton: But, Mr. Preesident?

Obama: Al? I’m still talking to Chris remember?

Matthews: I think that’s a winner Mr. President.

Michelle Obama: It’s time for your 5th prayer of the day.

Obama: Oh thanks, Honey. Okay that settles it. Chris, you get on MSNBC and call Perry crazy till the cows come home. And Al, call him a racist. That should be simple enough for you to understand because that’s all you do anyway.

Sharpton: Yes, Mr. President

This is one place where you don’t mind dropping the soap!

Daily Mail

They're wet and just wild about breaking the world record for the largest number of people ever to shower together.

Temperatures soared as 152 people - many girls in bikinis - washed their way into the record books on Bournemouth beach. They lathered up under a giant six-metre shower structure.

The bid organised by Lynx beat the previous record set in America two years ago when 145 people showered together in Illinois.

Obama approval below 40% for 1st time. Hello Jimmy Carter 2.0

Do you think Obama will ever get it through his thick skull that Americans aren’t buying his class warfare drivel?

Nah, don’t hold your breath. What else is he gonna say?

The man is a radical Leftist who wants to take money away from people who work and give to people who don’t work like this woman.

This is who Obama is and the American people are soundly rejecting his philosophy.

Los Angeles Times

President Obama's summer woes have dragged his approval rating to an all-time low, sinking below 40% for the first time in Gallup's daily tracking poll.New data posted Sunday shows that 39% of Americans approve of Obama's job performance, while 54% disapprove.

Both are the worst numbers of his presidency.Obama's approval rating has hovered in the 40% range for much of 2011, peaking at 53% in the weeks following the death of Osama bin Laden.

But Americans' view of his job performance continued to tick downward as the debt-ceiling debate heated up. By the time he signed legislation averting a federal default, he was mired in the low-40% range.

Tim Pawlenty, Out of GOP race. Don’t let the door hit your butt, Tim!

When Pawlenty first announced, I yawned and asked to be awaken when something interesting happened.

Now that he quits after a poor showing at the Iowa Straw Poll, my lack of excitement was justified.

Let’s face it. Tim is probably a nice guy, but he put my feet to sleep. He had no shot at getting the GOP nod. So let’s move on to more compelling candidates.

ABC News

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is dropping out of the Republican presidential contest, after a disappointing third-place finish in the Iowa Straw Poll Saturday.

"We needed to get some lift to continue on and have a pathway forward," Pawlenty said this morning in an exclusive interview on "This Week." "That didn't happen, so I'm announcing this morning on your show that I'm going to be ending my campaign for president.

"I'm very, very grateful for the people of Iowa," Pawlenty added. "I wish it would have been different, but obviously the pathway forward for me doesn't really exist, so we're going to end the campaign."

Kelly Rowland Tour 'Worries X Factor Bosses

She’s touring America with Chris Brown in the middle of the series…

12:00, Sunday, 14 August 2011

Kelly Rowland’s shock decision to go on tour midway through The X Factor has worried show bosses, if reports are to be believed.
The Destiny’s Child singer has agreed to support Chris Brown on his extensive 28-date tour of the US and Canada, which kicks off on 12 September and finishes just days before the live X Factor shows are due to begin.
According to The Mirror, show insiders are worried that the When Love Takes Over singer’s finalists will suffer without face-to-face time with their mentor. "Kelly is taking a real risk jetting off in the middle of her first series of The X Factor," a source is quoted in The Mirror. "Some of the cast and crew are worried she is not taking it seriously."
But an X Factor spokesperson has said the star would mentor her finalists from afar. "She plans to have regular Skype chats and phone calls while she's on tour," the rep explained.
On a brighter note, Kelly may have found love with songwriter Tim Weatherspoon, after they were spotted looking very happy together in Beverly Hills this week. It’s thought the pair met years ago after he worked on several tracks with Kelly’s bandmate Michelle Williams.
Kelly recently denied rumours that a Destiny's Child reunion was on the cards.
