Barack Obama Forbes Most Powerful

 

President Barack Obama once again tops Forbes Most Powerful List for the second year in a row.  Forbes stated that O won the popular vote, an electoral college majority, and seven of the seven swing-states in November 2012 election.  They asserted that Mr. Obama faced many challenges such as stubborn, high unemployment, a budget crisis, and renewed strife in the Middle East.  Nonetheless, they noted "Obama remains the commander-and-chief of the world's greatest military and sole economic and cultural superpower."

 

Forbes used four points to determine their list: financial resources that are controlled, power over many people, whether the person has power in various spheres of life, and if that power is used.  Others  who topped the list are Mayor Bloomer, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerburg.

McKayla Maroney and Obama

 

McKayla Maroney got lots of attention this past summer at the 2012 Olympic Games, which were held in London, when she made an "unimpressed face" after competing in gymnastics. A photo of the funny face hit the net and people began using the picture to say McKayla wasn't impressed with anything.   Well, she and the United States Olympic Female Gymnast Team got a chance to visit the White House in Washington D.C. and meet President Barack Obama and in a fun fashion Obama did his best McKayla Maroney "unimpressed" impression.  Both posed in that manner poking fun at what became a funny internet sensation at the time.

Breaking News: Supreme Court Says Obamacare For All?

Breaking News: Supreme Court Says Obamacare For All?

 

The Supreme Court Justices

 

President Barack Obama

 

Obama Signed The Affordable Healthcare Act into law just two years ago and it has been divided along party lines.  Today, the Supreme Court issued their decision as to whether the law is constitutional or not.  Huffingtonpost reports:

 

The individual health insurance mandate is constitutional, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday, upholding the central provision of President Barack Obama's signature Affordable Care Act.
 
The 5-4 majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, upheld the mandate as a tax, although concluded it was not valid as an exercise of Congress' commerce clause power. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan joined in the majority.
 
The decision in Florida v. Department of Health and Human Services comes as something of a surprise after the generally hostile reception the law received during the six hours of oral arguments held over three days in March. But by siding with the court's four Democratic appointees, Chief Justice Roberts avoided the delegitimizing taint of politics that surrounds a party-line vote while passing Obamacare's fate back to the elected branches. GOP candidates and incumbents will surely spend the rest of the 2012 campaign season running against the Supreme Court and for repeal of the law.

 "It was fun to do, it was fun to make, but it also had to be said," Brown, 28, said, adding that it was their way of telling the president, "We support you on your decision to support their decision.

President Obama Gets His ESSENCE ON

President Obama Gets His ESSENCE ON

 

 

President Barack Obama covers the July 2012 cover of Essence Magazine.  He is looking very handsond and presidential as he discusses his running for re-election in 2012.  The President talks about healthcare, improving the economy, and being excited about the next four years.  Obama said:

 

 “I’ve always approached my presidency as a long-term proposition…I didn’t run for office just to clean up the mess I inherited. I didn’t run for office just to return to the status quo. Understanding that some of the things I get done, we may not see the benefits from them for ten years. But that’s how change happens…”

Money Talks: Republicans Plan to OUTSPEND Democrats By A Huge Number

Money Talks: Republicans Plan to OUTSPEND Democrats By A Huge Number

 

 

 

Republicans want President Barack Obama out of the White House with a true passion.  They are planning to raise $1 billion dollars and use the money in an effort to get him out and defeat Democrats.   Poltico reports:

 

Republican super PACs and other outside groups shaped by a loose network of prominent conservatives – including Karl Rove, the Koch brothers and Tom Donohue of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce – plan to spend roughly $1 billion on November’s elections for the White House and control of Congress, according to officials familiar with the groups’ internal operations.
 
That total includes previously undisclosed plans for newly aggressive spending by the Koch brothers, who are steering funding to build sophisticated, county-by-county operations in key states. POLITICO has learned that Koch-related organizations plan to spend about $400 million ahead of the 2012 elections – twice what they had been expected to commit.
 
 
Just the spending linked to the Koch network is more than the $370 million that John McCain raised for his entire presidential campaign four years ago. And the $1 billion total surpasses the $750 million that Barack Obama, one of the most prolific fundraisers ever, collected for his 2008 campaign.
 
 
 
Mitt Romney and the National Republican Committee plan on raising $800 million dollars.  This will be in addition to the outside $1 billion dollars.  With that said, another plan of attack is that if Mitt looks weak towards election time, much of the money will be targeted towards the Congressional races.  This is already shaping up to be one of the ugliest political fights we have seen in sometime.
