Another quote he ripped was Colbert joking about gays on his television show “There is nothing wrong with being gay. I have plenty of friends who are going to hell” this gallant quote is nothing more than a joke, and again even if Colbert was in any way seriously that opposed to being gay, Republican governor Rick Santorum has him beat when the governor compared being gay to such things as pedophilia, bigamy, incest and even bestiality. Compared to the governor and presidential front runner Rick Santorum, Colbert’s quotes are merely a joke; which is what it was intended to be in the first place. Obeidallah then ends this claim by comparing Stephen Colbert to Adolph Hitler by saying “These above quotes are clearly the words of a man with no regard for the values of
He also presided over the elimination of a projected $1.2–1.5 billion deficit through a combination of spending cuts, increased fees, and the closure of corporate tax loopholes. Romney did not seek re-election in 2006, instead focusing on his campaign for the Republican nomination in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. He won several primaries and caucuses but lost out to the eventual nominee, Senator John McCain. In 2011, he began campaigning for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, eventually winning enough caucuses and primaries to be nominated with his chosen running mate, Representative Paul Ryan. In doing so, Romney became the first Mormon to be a major party presidential nominee.
Eventually Ric found himself working in the Music Publishing industry; he developed complicated music programs and software for some of Australia’s most renowned musicians such as INXS. In his spare time he wrote for several music magazines and eventually published his own.

During his time there he created the original ‘Andre the Giant posses’ sticker (“Shepard Fairey: Bio...”,par.5). Fairey graduated in 1992 with a BA in illustration from RISD. After his graduation in 1992 he started his first business venture, Alternate Graphics, to showcase his emerging design and silkscreen printing talents. He created stickers, T-shirts, skateboards, and posters which were all available via black and white mail order catalogs that he distributed (“Shepard Fairey: Bio...”,par.2). It became obvious to him that he
Last night, I watched the most recent episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. One of the segments was dedicated to a clip of Obama speaking during his campaign in 2007, where he supposedly made some racist comments and was supporting class warfare. Jon Stewart’s segment pulled out a clip from FOX News, where the anchor made a comment along the lines of “People are saying this has already been reported on, but I know it hasn’t because I reported on it the first time.” This clip was the central focus of the segment because of the sheer stupidity of his comment, let alone the fact that he contradicted himself by claiming something hadn’t been done and then saying he did it. I think the piece was negative, because it was meant to portray FOX
While not "fully ascendant" in the GOP, suggested Will, Goldwaterism made a comeback at the 2004 convention, as evidenced in the "rapturous reception" of former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, known for their unyielding opposition to terrorism and their tolerant views regarding abortion and gay rights. The reemergence of conservatism with a socially libertarian (but economically conservative) cast, Will wrote, could make the Grand Old Party more appealing to the many young suburban voters among whom the Democrats have made substantial gains.
Contrary to popular belief, even though many of their elements are similar, Stephen Colbert plays a fictional character on his show, not himself. The Colbert Report gave Stephen Colbert the last little push he needed to be a celebrity. He was even invited to the infamous 2006 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner where the then-President George W. Bush and members of the Associated Press were attending. There, he gave a speech lam-pooning the President and the media and was received by an unpleasantly cold and stuffy audience. Fame through his show after prompted Colbert to run for President in the 2008 Presidential Campaign, but he quickly dropped out due to expenses.
Election raises stakes for possible Supreme Court vacancies By Bill Mears, CNN Supreme Court Producer updated 7:03 PM EDT, Mon October 1, 2012 Washington (CNN) -- Barack Obama and Mitt Romney wasted little time rushing to the cameras when the Supreme Court narrowly upheld the president's sweeping health care reform law. Their remarks after the June ruling were a contrast of competing rhetoric over a contentious piece of legislation, and a prism into how each candidate hopes to quietly change the makeup of the federal courts. "Americans are probably paying much more attention to the economy than the Supreme Court," said Thomas Goldstein, a top appellate attorney and SCOTUSblog.com publisher. "But they should be thinking about presidential court
Discussing how many of his colleagues viewed him as the luckiest candidates of the fifty states in his bid to become the senator of Illinois, he expands in his depiction of how he felt as if he was the “the rookie who showed up after the game” during his first appearance in the nations capital. Obama describes in chapter two, a meeting with George W. Bush at the White House. Reminiscing about how many democratic audiences are surprised when he tells them that he doesn’t consider Bush a bad man. However, with that said Obama does write that he felt many of his policies favored the wealthy. Chapter three goes into depth on the passage of bills and laws in order to reshape the constitution our founding fathers wrote.
In June 2012, Fox News released a tape about Obama breaking his oath to help immigration and it seemed as if he was contradicting himself and not prioritizing it. The Fox news caster stated, before the unveiling of the tape, “Let me play this for the audience so they can understand and fully grasp here the magnitude of what he did on Friday.” Fox made it clear that they wanted the audience to “fully” grasp a lie. Stuart on the “Daily Show” showed the full tape instead of only a portion of the tape like Fox, and display to his cynical audience how deceptive Fox truly is. The full tape revealed how Obama, in reality is still prioritizing and reinforcing his beliefs, unlike how Fox interpreted it. On the “Daily Show” Stuart, after broad casting the corrupted video, used a sarcastic tone and commended Fox for showing such a shocking video and even apologize for past “mistakes” of ridiculing Fox.
