Carrie Prejean Receives Standing Ovation

Miss Cali, Carrie Prejean received a standing ovation from the audience at the Dove Awards. (which was nice to see after all the attacks on her by different judges of the Miss USA pageant)
Like I said in my previous post, it must really suck to be Miss USA this year! I still don't know her name and have yet to see her as a guest on any show. In the meantime, Carrie Prejean is soaking up her 15 min! Can you blame her? No...But it’s getting old. I wrote a whole post about how disgusted I was by Trash Blogger Perez Hilton but I do think her response to the question was a tad bit inarticulate. I mean, who says “no offense” when they are speaking formerly. You could use those two words differently and it would be fine but her sentence reminded me of a high school conversation… (Example: I don’t like your outfit, no offense!) I also believe she could have provided greater clarity on the subject and her beliefs. (though, I don’t think the judges would have scored her impartially no matter what she said)
Lastly, what is opposite marriage? To be fair, imagine being asked a specific question by a judge who openly supports something you’re about to say you’re against. I would stumble too.
Anyway, I support everyone’s right to an opinion and I have great respect for her. I think it took a lot of guts to stand up for yourself knowing that you would forfeit your chance at winning the prize. A lot of people would give a generic answer...we call those people politicians!
Okay I’m done, I am over this subject! It’s annoying me!

Obama On 60 minutes | Awkward Much?

Did the president laugh inappropriately during the CBS 60 minute interview?
I'm not one to say that the President is not allowed to laugh just because the topic is a serious one. That would be ridiculous. But... (of course there is a but...there's always a but) I do think that this is an example of President Obama's view of this economic disaster. He's so calm, cool and collected...yeah maybe too cool! In this specific case, the laugh was completely awkward!

He sees this mess as an opportunity. As his chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel once said, never let a good crisis go to waste. In other words, when times are getting tough and sh-t hits the fan, people get desperate. You are more inclined to say yes to something that you may have not said yes to before. Basically, when you're down you will reach for a hand to help you get up and in this case the government has convinced you that they are your only option to get back up again. Therefore, you will let them do anything that they say will "help" so you can stand back up. They are aware of this, so why fix the economy? Lets let it go further down, blame the previous administration, blame George Bush (you know, no one will ever get tired of that) and pass laws to gain control over every aspect of our country and its people. Whats more important than money to individuals? Power!
So back to this 60 minute interview, do I think it was inappropriate? In this circumstance, yes! Even Steve Kroft paused for a moment and proceeded to ask Obama if he was "Punch-drunk". I just think that the tone was a tad off and people are looking to him for confidence, not humor. Get off Jay Leno, stop worrying about your NCAA picks, get off ESPN, and get serious! This is not a joke. Humor is great but there is a time and a place.

President Obama to Appear on the Tonight Show

President Obama will be a guest on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno this coming Thursday (March 19). It’ll be his first late night talk show interview since being elected President.
Quite honestly, I don’t really think that I can watch it. I respect everyone’s right to an opinion, including my own! I don’t like fakeness (that’s not a word, I know, I know) and can’t stand lies (I’m sure most agree). The difference is, I don’t hide it to be polite, I keep my friends close and all others further away. Anyways, I better stop myself before I get lost in a totally different subject and won’t even remember what I’m talking about (happens frequently).
I cannot watch President Obama because I feel like he’s a fraud. I know this will make some people really angry but that’s okay. It’s just my view.
When I watch him speak (off a teleprompter of course), I feel like its phony bologna and I’m over it!

I judge actions, words are empty otherwise! So far, I’m not digging his actions too much!
