Manusia yang seiras dengan Presiden Barack Obama, terdapat di seluruh pelusuk dunia.

Sejak Presiden Barack Obama menjadi individu kulit hitam pertama dipilih Presiden Amerika Syarikat, ramai pula individu yang seiras dengan Obama di seluruh dunia.

Antaranya di Indonesia dimana Obama membesar selaku anak kecil di Menteng.

Dan juga di Colombia, Amerika Selatan dimana ada ramai lelaki menyerupai pemimpin paling berkuasa di dunia itu, sehinggakan pertandingan terpaksa diadakan untuk memutuskan siapa paling menyerupai Obama.

Hmm.. hairan jugakan.. Sebelum ini tiada pula orang yang menyerupai presiden USA terdahulu seperti George Bush, Bill Clinton, George Bush Senior, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Washington dan John F Kennedy.


Namun di Taman Negara Mulu Sarawak, ada batu yang menyerupai Presiden Amerika, Abraham Lincoln.

Harian, sungguh menghairankan.

Why Barack Obama drinks Guiness Stout?

Studies claim that Guinness Stout can be beneficial to the heart. Researchers found that "'antioxidant compounds' in the Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery walls.

So that is why the world's most powerful man, drinks Guiness Stout.

Cubaan membunuh Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama

Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama.


Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, disyaki melepaskan 9 das tembakan untuk membunuh Obama di White House pada 11 November 2011.

Apabila ada cubaan membunuh atau pembunuhan ke atas Presiden Amerika Syarikat, maka itu adalah berita sensasi dan berita no.1 di seluruh dunia.

Ini kerana Presiden Amerika Syarikat adalah orang paling berkuasa di dunia.

Sejarah menunjukkan, 4 Presiden Amerika Syarikat dibunuh.

Mereka ialah Presiden Abraham Lincoln pada 1865, Presiden John F. Kennedy pada 1963, Presiden James A. Garfield pada 1881 dan Presiden William Mc Kinley pada 1901.

Presiden Ronald Reagen juga pernah ditembak pada 1981 tapi terselamat.

Baru baru ini, seorang lelaki kurang waras berusia 21 tahun ditahan polis Amerika Syarikat kerana disyaki melepaskan tembakan ke arah White House, kediaman rasmi Presiden Amerika Syarikat.

Pada Jumaat 11 November 2011, 9 das tembakan menggunakan senjata separuh automatik, dilaporkan dilepaskan ke arah White House.

1 das mengenai tingkap di kediaman Presiden itu.

Ketika kejadian Obama dan keluarganya tiada di White House kerana berada di persidangan Kerjasama Ekonomi Asia Pasifik, APEC 2011 di Honolulu, Hawaii.

Seorang lelaki yang disyaki melepaskan tembakan itu, Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez kemudiannya ditangkap.

Dia berambut panjang dan berjanggut tebal dan mendakwa dirinya Nabi Isa!!!

Menurutnya dia bercadang membunuh Obama kerana Obama adalah anti-Christ atau anti Nabi Isa.

Well, jika benar Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez adalah Nabi Isa, maka dia tidak perlu melepaskan tembakan, cukup dengan menggunakan kuasa sakti, mukjizat ajaib saja.

Jika didapati bersalah kerana cubaan membunuh Presiden Obama, maka Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez boleh dipenjara seumur hidup.

Obama's secret security booklet found inside a Gutter in Canberra!!!

A CLASSIFIED booklet containing President Barack Obama's Australian visit schedule down to the minute, as well as details of his security convoy and the mobile phone numbers of dozens of senior US and Australian officials, was found by The Age on a Canberra street on 17 November 2011.

The booklet, Overall Program and Orders of Arrangements, for Mr Obama's visit, was found by the Age reporter in a gutter about 100 metres from the front entrance to Parliament.

One of Australia's top national security analysts, Alan Dupont, said the find represented a ''significant security breach''

''If that had got into the wrong hands, it would certainly put the President and some of his entourage at risk if someone could respond quickly enough to having the information,'' said Professor Dupont, who is the Michael Hintze chair of international security at Sydney University.

''Even if you were an ordinary crim, there would be a market for that kind of book, so it's not good news.''

The 125-page booklet is classified ''In-Confidence'' and its cover states the information it holds ''is not to be communicated either directly or indirectly to any person not authorised to receive it''.

More than 120 pages are dedicated to a minute-by-minute description of Mr Obama's schedule, and it even reveals which limousine door the President will use at events.

I suspect this booklet was accidently thrown or slipped from a person who is directly involved in the preparation of this visit.

It was not intentional.

''On a signal from the Presidential Advance Agents, the Prime Minister, [Australian ambassador to the US Kim] Beazley and [US ambassador to Australia Jeffrey] Bleich alight from their vehicles,'' the booklet states for the event at the Darwin RAAF base.

It also lists the ''seating arrangements'' for the presidential motorcade, the world's highest-security convoy.

It lists the exact breakdown of Mr Obama's Secret Service presidential protective division, including its ''Counter Assault Teams'' a ''comms vehicle'', an ''intel car'' and the ''Hammer Truck'' (Hazardous Agent Mitigation Medical Emergency Response). It is the Secret Service team that provides emergency medical treatment.

Then there are the dozens of mobile-phone and landline numbers for senior Australian and US military and civilian staff. The phone numbers included the mobiles of the US deputy ambassador Jason Hyland and the US consuls-general in Victoria, Sydney and Perth; a marine major who works as an embassy attache; three Australian air force wing commanders in Canberra and Darwin; and the Federal Police co-ordinator for foreign dignity protection.

''It's incredible,'' Professor Dupont said. ''It could be exploited down the track because it's got all sorts of numbers in it. And if you are somebody who could exploit that or sell it to someone who could exploit that, it could be serious because you could listen in to the telephone calls of people who are very senior.''

The booklet also names a long-serving member of Mr Obama's Secret Service unit.

Hey.. come on Obama....

Barack Obama, debt deal reached

Whatever the super powers do, we have to give attention for it will affect us.

Republican and Democratic leaders have agreed on a plan to raise the United States debt ceiling, President Barack Obama announced Sunday night, 31th July 2011.

The announcement arrives after months of intense closed-door negotiations, and just two days before the deadline set by the Treasury Department.

According to the details available, the agreement would slow the growth of government spending over the next decade by $2-$3 trillion and allow enough borrowing to put off another vote to raise the ceiling to 2013.

About $1 trillion will be cut immediately, and the details of the remaining spending reductions will be handled by a bipartisan committee of 12 lawmakers from both chambers, who will recommend cuts for Congress to vote on. To appease the GOP's conservative wing, the deal would also require a vote in both chambers on an amendment to the Constitution requiring the federal government to balance its budget each year.

"I want to announce that the leaders of both parties, in both chambers, have reached an agreement that will reduce the deficit and avoid default--a default that would have had a devastating effect on our economy," Obama said. "Now, is this the deal I would have preferred? No. . . . But this compromise does make a serious down payment on the deficit reduction we need, and gives each party a strong incentive to get a balanced plan done before the end of the year."

House Speaker John Boehner held a conference call Sunday evening with House Republicans in which he urged them to support the package, declaring that the deal in place "meets our principles of smaller government."

"There is a framework in place that would cut spending by a larger amount than we raise the debt limit, and cap future spending to limit the growth of government," he said, according to a transcript provided by Boehner's office. "Now listen, this isn't the greatest deal in the world. But it shows how much we've changed the terms of the debate in this town."

With the approval of leaders of the House and Senate, and Tuesday's deadline looming, Congress must act quickly to convince enough members to seal the deal with a vote on Monday. The deal will require bipartisan support due to the opposition within factions of both parties.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Majority Leader Harry Reid will both present the deal to their caucus Monday at 11 a.m. with a vote expected afterward.

God Bless the World.

Kate Middleton "Reiss" dress mystifies the world in her first public appearance since becoming Duchess of Cambridge, 24th May 2011...

Since becoming Prince William's official wife in a star studded and glamorous royal wedding on 29 April 2011, what ever Kate Middleton do and wear in public, will be closely scuritinised and followed by the eyes of the world.



And this dress worn by Kate Middleton has become an internet sensation and this particular Reiss brand is sold out in USA, UK, Paris, Tokyo and other parts of the world minus Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Libya and in sworn enemies of the west, countries such as North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In her first public appearance since returning from her honeymoon, Kate, The Duchess of Cambridge looked stunning and tan in her form-fitting Reiss dress when she met President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday 24th May 2011.

Kate and her new husband Prince William chatted with the president and his wife for 20 minutes about their wedding and their upcoming trip to the U.S. this summer.



At first Kate looked shy chatting with Michelle Obama, probably because the Obamas were left out as invited guests during the royal wedding.

However, among the 4 super famous persons on that picture, the one that grabbed the most attention in the eyes of the world is not the world's most powerful man, US Pesident Barack Obama and the first Lady, Michelle Obama or Prince William.

Instead it was Kate and the dress she wore.

The First Lady, Michelle Obama wore a pale green, floral, a-line dress from Barbara Tfank's 2011 resort collection, according to Michelle Obama style site MrsO. She paired the dress with silver high heels, a short metallic pink jacket with three quarter sleeves and a decorative brooch.

Nobody give a damn on Michelle Obama's dress.




However Middleton selection of a more muted route: A beige, short-sleeved, Shola "bandage" dress from Reiss, one her favorite designers, rocked the fashion world!!!

As a result, the dress is flying off the shelves in stores in both the UK and the US,” a spokesperson for Reiss told RadarOnline.com about the “Shola” dress that sells for USD$340.

"We're sold out of the dress,” Anthony Conley, a sales associate at the Reiss store in Beverly Hills, tells RadarOnline.com. “It was popular before but now it's exploded.”



Kate also wore a white Reiss dress for her official engagement portrait on November 2010.

And the blue Issa London dress Middleton wore when the royal engagement was announced also sold out within hours of the event.




This is the famous see-through fashion outfit worn by Kate that first attracted the attention of Prince William during a fashion show.

What if Kate wore a Santa Claus lingerie after this... will millions of women follow suit??? Do you like that Will.. William??

All the best Kate... you are one glamorous woman in this planet..!!!

First Lady, Michelle Obama challenged by a Mexican schoolgirl!!

It happended when the United States First Lady Michelle Obama visited a primary school in Maryland, USA.

Can you imagine that, a tender and very young and innocent school girl challenged one of the most powerful ladies in the world??

When this video made its way to Youtube, viewers posted comments which included - "deport this kid and her mom to Mexico"!!!

During the visit, the girl apparently of Mexican descendant, said her mother - who she revealed was an undocumented migrant - said Barack Obama was "taking everybody away that doesn't have some papers".

In response, Mrs Obama said work should be done to ensure immigrants had proper papers.

The US First Lady was at the school with the wife of Mexican President Felipe Calderon, whose US visit has been dominated by immigration issues.

The exchange occurred when Mrs Obama and her counterpart Margarita Zavala were visting the school in Silver Spring, Maryland.

After being challenged by the unidentified girl, Mrs Obama said: "That's something that we have to work on, to make sure that people can be here with the right kind of papers."

The girl then said "but my mum doesn't have papers". The First Lady replied: "We have to fix that. And everybody's got to work together in Congress to make sure that that happens."

The headteacher said the school did not inquire about the immigration status of parents.

During his visit, both Mr Calderon and Mr Obama criticised a controversial new immigration law in Arizona.

Whoaaaa... Any comment Mr President Obama...??

Presiden Barack Obama - Anak Menteng, Indonesia

Sepertimana diketahui umum, Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama pernah menetap di Indonesia, ketika zaman kanak kanaknya pada penghujung 1960an.

Lebih tepat, di daerah Menteng, Jakarta.

Atas sebab itulah Presiden Obama boleh berbahasa Indonesia termasuk perkataan Terima Kasih, Apa Khabar, malahan beliau juga boleh menyebut nama makanan popular Indonesia seperti Bakso, Nasi Goreng dan lain lain.




Atas sebab itulah sebuah filem dokumentari mengenai kehidupan kanak kanak Barack Obama di Menteng sedang disiapkan. Dokumentari itu bertajuk "Obama, Anak Menteng".

Ya, siapa sangka seorang anak Menteng suatu hari nanti menjadi pemerintah Dunia dengan menjadi Presiden Amerika Syarikat ke 44. Itulah Barack Obama.

Barack Obama signs $938 billion health bill into law

Obama signing the $938 billion dollar bill!!!!! My Gosh - $938 Billion!!! No wonder the Republicans refused to support the healthcare bill... It is indeed very very costly Mr Obama!!!

United States of America President Barack Obama has signed his landmark healthcare bill into law in a ceremony at the White House, on March 23rd, 2010.

The new law will eventually extend health insurance cover to about 32 million Americans who currently do not have any.

Mr Obama said he was signing the bill for people like his mother "who argued with insurance companies even as she battled cancer in her final days".

The bill is strongly opposed by the Republicans, who say it is too costly.

“ The bill I'm signing will set in motion reforms that generations of Americans have fought for and marched for and hungered to see ”
President Barack Obama

Immediately after the signing, attorneys general from 13 states - 12 Republicans and one Democrat - began legal proceedings against the federal government seeking to stop the reforms on the grounds that they are unconstitutional.

Mr Obama was joined at the White House signing ceremony by healthcare reform supporters including Democrats from both Houses of Congress who supported the measure.

He said the bill's provisions were "desperately needed", adding: "The bill I'm signing will set in motion reforms that generations of Americans have fought for and marched for and hungered to see."

He hailed the "historic leadership and uncommon courage" of the Democratic leadership in Congress that secured the bill's passage, singling out House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for particular praise.

“ The Democrats feel a new optimism with a solid victory under their belt. They feel they've proved that they can govern, can make a difference ”
Mark Mardell, BBC North America editor

He concluded: "Today after almost a century of trial, today after over a year of debate, today after all the votes have been tallied, health insurance reform becomes law in the United States of America. Today.

"All of the overheated rhetoric over reform will finally confront the reality of reform."

Mr Obama now has to sell the reforms to a divided American public before November's mid-term elections.

On Thursday, he will go to the state of Iowa to talk about how the new law will help to lower healthcare costs for small businesses and families.

KEY HEALTHCARE REFORMS

Cost: $940bn over 10 years; would reduce deficit by $143bn
Coverage: Expanded to 32m currently uninsured Americans
Medicare: Prescription drug coverage gap closed; affected over-65s receive rebate and discount on brand name drugs
Medicaid: Expanded to include families under 65 with gross income of up to 133% of federal poverty level and childless adults
Insurance reforms: Insurers can no longer deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions
Insurance exchanges: Uninsured and self-employed able to purchase insurance through state-based exchanges
Subsidies: Low-income individuals and families wanting to purchase own health insurance eligible for subsidies
Individual Mandate: Those not covered by Medicaid or Medicare must be insured or face fine
High-cost insurance: Employers offering workers pricier plans subject to tax on excess premium

After a heated debate, the House of Representatives voted 219-212 late on Sunday to send the 10-year, $938billion bill to Mr Obama. Not one Republican voted for the bill, and some Democrats also voted against it.

The measure, which the Senate passed in December, is expected to expand health insurance coverage to about 95% of eligible Americans, compared with the 83% covered today.

It will ban insurance company practices such as denying coverage to people with existing medical problems.

Correspondents say the bill represents the biggest expansion of the federal government's social safety net since President Lyndon Johnson enacted the Medicare and Medicaid government-funded healthcare programmes for the elderly and poor in the 1960s.

Mr Obama's campaign to overhaul US healthcare seemed stalled in January, when a Republican won a special election to fill the late Edward Kennedy's Massachusetts Senate seat, and with it, enough Republican votes to prevent the bill from coming to a final vote in the Senate.

But Democrats came up with a plan that required the House to approve the Senate-passed measure - despite its opposition to many of its provisions - and then have both chambers pass a measure incorporating numerous changes after the president signed it into law.

President Barack Obama vs Bret Baier of Fox News Channel

If you are a journalist, would you dare to do this to the President of the United States of America??

Obama looked very uneasy and annoyed with Bret Baier of Fox News who constantly interrupted him during this exclusive interview in the White House.

They were talking about the Health Care plan.

Second Scare onboard Detroit flight from Amsterdam, caused by another Nigerian

Second scare on Detroit flight rattles passengers.

Well, it was exactly the same script. In those 2 incidents in a space of 2 days during festive mood, the affected flights were travelling from Amsterdam to Detroit, USA.

The culprits in those 2 incidents are both Nigerians...!!!!

And both have Yemeni connections.

The first incident happened on Christmas Day where a Nigerian evil man by the name of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.

This arsehole said he was following orders from Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen.

Now, the 2nd incident involved yet another Nigerian working as Petroleum engineer in Yemen and also travelling from Amsterdam to Detroit. It happened just 2 days after a failed bomb-attack by that another Nigerian.

Read the rest of the story below by The Detroit News :

Romulus -- About 48 hours after officials responded to an attempted terrorist act on Christmas Day, a disruptive passenger was detained Sunday on the same Amsterdam to Detroit flight -- sparking fear, panic and serious delays at Detroit Metro Airport.

Although the FBI and airport officials said the incident was "non-serious" and an all-clear was issued, it raised already-soaring tensions among holiday travelers worried about their safety and authorities working to review security measures.

The flight sat on the tarmac for several hours.

"We were all scared," said Denise Kabalka-Chesnui, a 49-year-old engineer from Romeo, who was returning from business in Paris. "We didn't know what was going on."

Before Flight 253 landed at Detroit Metropolitan Airport about 12:35 p.m. Sunday, Northwest Airlines alerted the Transportation Security Administration to a disruptive passenger.

A pilot requested emergency help, according to a Metro Airport spokesman. The plane then taxied to "an isolated inspection area as a precaution," airport officials said in a statement.

Delta Air Lines, which operated the flight, said in a statement that a passenger became "verbally disruptive in flight and, out of an abundance of caution, the flight crew requested authorities meet the aircraft upon landing."

Despite the government's decision after the attempted Friday attack to mobilize more air marshals, no marshal was on the Sunday flight, according to a government report.

FBI Special Agent Sandra Berchtold said the Joint Terrorism Task Force responded to the flight after "a passenger spent a lengthy time in the restroom."

But investigation showed "this was a non-serious incident."

According to ABC News reports, authorities said the passenger was a 36-year-old Nigerian petroleum engineer who became unhappy when he was ordered to his seat one hour before landing, as required under new in-flight rules.

The passenger supervises 90 employees at the multinational petroleum company he works for in Yemen.

White House spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement that the president was notified shortly after 9 a.m. Hawaiian time of the latest incident by Denis McDonough, chief of staff of the National Security Council.

"The president stressed the importance of maintaining heightened security measures for all air travel and gave instructions to set up another secure teleconference briefing as soon as possible," Burton said.

Sara Kuban, press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said the passenger was removed from the flight, and interviewed by the FBI.

He was released after indications showed the individual's behavior was due to "legitimate illness," Kuban said.

Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano said the man had made several trips to the restroom, and would not respond to requests to come out.

"Of course, there's a real heightened sensitivity to things like this," Ficano said.

The aircraft was fully screened and all baggage was rescreened before the aircraft taxied to the gate, Kuban said.

Passengers were bused to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection area for processing, airport officials said.

Spokeswoman Susan Chana Elliott said 254 passengers and 12 crew members were on board.

Another Nigerian native, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been charged with 20-year felonies after officials said he tried to detonate explosives attached to his body and started a fire Christmas Day on board Flight 253 as it approached Metro Airport.

AP Interview: President Barack Obama Reflects on Michael Jackson

On July 2nd, 2009, President Barack Obama told the Associated Press, AP that Michael Jackson was one of the greatest entertainers in history and said he still has Jackson's music on his iPod.

For the record, President Obama, born August 4, 1961 is younger than Michael Jackson, born August 29, 1958.

Malaysian Journalist face to face with Barack Obama!!

Recently, Shahanaz Habib, a senior Malaysian journalist with the Star newspaper, had the exclusive privilege to interview the most powerful man in the world - the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, at the Cairo University.

Shahanaz is no stranger in the media fraternity.

She has done big big assignments.

She covered the 2003 US invasion in Iraq and she was the first Malaysian journalist to enter the war zone, she witnessed the Israel bombing of Gaza and she was among the first Malaysian media personell to reach Acheh after the devastating 2004 Tsunami.

This is her story.


No airs: Obama posing for a casual photograph with the writer, Shahanaaz Habib(second from right) and other journalists at the Cairo University after the interview. – Official White House photo by PETE SOUZA

Bowled over by the ever-so-charming ObamaNo airs:
BY SHAHANAAZ HABIB

SO how was Barack Obama? Quite charming really.

When the 44th United States president entered the room for the round table interview with seven journalists, he walked over to them to extend his hand and say hello.

And he paid attention even in those brief seconds.

When I introduced myself and said I was from Malaysia, I was a bit surprised to hear a “Apa Khabar” (How are you?) from him.

I knew he still spoke some Bahasa Indonesia, having lived and studied in Jakarta for over three years when he was a young boy. When I remarked in Malay that he was able to remember the language, he quipped: “Lupa banyak. Bicara sedikit.”

During the interview, Indonesia’s Bambang Harymurti editor-in-chief of Tempo asked Obama when he would come to Indonesia and the reply was that he expected to visit very soon as part of his trip to Asia.

“I want to see Jakarta again and eat nasi goreng and bakso,” he said, and then turned to the other journalists to explain that these are special Indonesian food that he used to eat as a child when he was in Jakarta.

Sharing briefly about the house he used to live in, he said, back then the road leading to it was a dirt road which turned to mud when it rained.

It is little down-to-earth things like this that add to his charm.

In person, Obama looks taller than his 6ft frame because he is lean. At 47 years old, there are already traces of gray peppering his short-cropped hair.

And of course there is the famous Obama smile – although he did not smile that much during the interview.

Looking relaxed in a dark suit, a white shirt and blue tie, he listened intently as each journalist asked his or her question.

At times he cupped his face as he listened. And he spoke clearly and slowly, giving lengthy answers to each question and looking at the journalist who asked the question straight in the eye – giving the impression that each question mattered.

He exuded confidence and optimism and came across as very sincere and spoke with conviction.

It is unfortunate that because of the time constraint and his schedule, we only managed one round of questions (each asked one main question and one supplementary) but he gave good answers to them.

Just before he rushed off to the Pyramids, he obliged autographing a copy of his book and taking a group photo.

When we posed for the photo, he asked us two female journalists who are a lot shorter than the guys to stand next to him and put his arms around us as if we were buddies.

What is there not to like about him?

But as they say, a new broom always sweeps clean. So ask me again in four years’ time after he has had a chance to prove himself!

The New York Post apologised for racial slur on Barack Obama

Barely a month after creating history as America's first non white President, Barack Obama find himself victim of racial slur by one of America's most influential newspapers....!!!!!!



At first glance, the main editorial cartoon in today's New York Post seemed like just another lurid reference to the story that the tabloid had been covering with breathless abandon for two days running - the shooting by Connecticut police on Monday of a pet chimpanzee that viciously attacked his owner's friend.

But the caption cast the cartoon in a more sinister light. "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill," it read, prompting accusations that the Post was peddling a longstanding racist slur by portraying president Barack Obama, who signed the bill into law yesterday, as an ape.


However The New York Post has apologised.....!!!!

The New York Post has apologised for a cartoon that some have interpreted as comparing Barack Obama to a violent chimpanzee gunned down by police, following two days of protest.

The drawing by the long-time Post cartoonist Sean Delonas, published on Wednesday, showed a dead chimp and two police officers, one with a smoking gun. The caption read: "They'll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill."

The newspaper posted an editorial on its website last night saying the cartoon was meant to mock the federal economic stimulus bill, but "to those who were offended by the image, we apologise".

The piece was posted hours after 200 picketers, chanting "Boycott the Post! Shut it down!", marched in front of the paper's office, saying the cartoon echoed racist stereotypes of black people as monkeys.

hmmm....I wonder what cartoon will appear next??? will it be a man escorted by secret services agents, entering the White House, but renamed "the Black House"....??????????

UFO spotted at Barack Obama inauguration

Well, it seems President Barack Obama’s recent inauguration ceremony not only attracted worldwide television audience – but even Aliens from outter space want to have a peek to see for themselves what the new president is supposed to look like.

The Sun reported that an unidentified flying object or UFO was seen during Obama’s historic day ceremony.

News footage captured a shadowy object flashing across the sky before the new President’s speech.

The high-speed object appears to streak behind the Washington Monument and then disappear into the clouds.

The area at that time was declared a no fly zone.

The CNN clip that captured the UFO, has attracted thousands of hits on video-sharing website YouTube.

UFO experts are convinced it was an alien craft speeding behind the 555ft-high monument – but sceptics say it was a bird or a bat.

“We know it is not an aircraft because a strict no-fly zone was imposed over the area.

“It seems to have been going a little bit too fast for any type of bird.” Some said.

During the election run-up, UFO bloggers claimed mysterious “orbs” were spotted over an Obama rally in Chicago.

Well Obama, it seems you not only captivated the world’s heart but also the entire universe…

I wonder wether Aliens are Democrats or Republicans???

Gong Xi Fa Cai..

Oh Come on Obama, why you have to do the swearing in Twice??

It was not the Declaration of Independence…

But only a few simple lines…

Yet Obama stumbled while swearing in the oath of office as the 44th President of the US, at Washington DC on the 20th January 2009, in front of a million people and billions more watching live on TV…

Why???

Some said Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, John Roberts did it on purpose (out of vengeance???)

(In 2005, Obama was one of 22 senators who voted against putting Chief Justice John Roberts on the Supreme Court.)

The oath is supposed to be very short, and even you and me can do it with our eyes closed!!!

“ I Barack Husein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God."

What Obama said was -

"I Barak Husein Obama do solemnly swear that I will [ . . .] execute the Office of President of the United States faithfully, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. So help me God."

In the oath, as set out in the US Constitution, the new President is supposed to swear to "faithfully execute the office of president of the United States".

But as Chief Justice Roberts read out the oath for Mr Obama to repeat, he moved the word "faithfully" to the end of the phrase.

Mr Obama, apparently noticing the error, hesitated. Mr Roberts repeated the phrase incorrectly, and Mr Obama followed suit, using the erroneous formula.

In the end, Barack Obama has to be sworn in as US president for the second time in 2 days, because of the word ‘faithfully” was given out of order during Tuesday's ceremony.

Chief Justice Roberts, administered the oath again at the White House today 7.35 pm Washington time.

In contrast to the first oath-taking, Mr Obama did not swear on a Bible and his wife Michelle was not at his side.

And instead of an audience of millions, only a few close aides saw the second attempt, with even journalists excluded from the Map Room of the White House.

But Mr Obama joked: "We decided it was so much fun...." before adding: "We're going to do it very slowly."

However, Obama’s inauguration was well received in the world.

Even newspaper headlines in Indonesia praised the new President, with one headline read “ANAK MENTENG, PENGUASA DUNIA”, which means Obama who used to live in Menteng, Jakarta for 4 years after his mom married an Indonesian, is now a world leader!!

And apart from the outgoing President, George W. Bush, another man looked relaxed and composed during the entire ceremony, for he very nearly become the 44th US President, 4 years ago, instead of Obama.

That person is Senator John Kerry, a former Vietnam veteran.

Kerry was the Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2004 US Presidential election against the Republican incumbent – President George W. Bush.

On November 3, 2004, Kerry conceded the race.

Kerry won 59.03 million votes or about 48 percent of the popular vote;

However Bush won 62.04 million votes, or about 51 percent of the popular vote.

In the final tally Kerry had 251 electoral votes to Bush's 286. It was close.

In January 2007, Kerry announced he would not run for President in 2008, instead choosing to run for another Senate term which he succeed.

Thanks for reading, faithfully yours.

From slavery to President, Hail to Barack Obama

In a few hours time, History will be created when Barack Hussin Obama officially takes over from President George W. Bush as the 44th. President of the United States of America.

Had Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the US, not sign a decree to stop the practice of slavery in America in 1862, or 147 years ago, Obama may not reach the pinnacle that is being witnessed now, dubbed the greatest achievement of African American in the history of mankind.

This event eclipses the legacy of the Lincoln decree where America saw the emergence of Black leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X and Rev. Jeese Jackson, just to name a few…

Past Presidents of The USA are also known for their most famous quotes.

And I choose to select some of those quotes from 3 Past Presidents who became victims of assassinations.

Abraham Lincoln

President Lincoln was most famous with his quotes like the few selected below, during his 5 years tenure as President from 1860 until his he was shot dead by James Wilkes Booth on 14 April, 1865: -

“I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down...”

“If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend six hours sharpening my ax”

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”

“To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men”

“I walk slowly, but I never walk backward”

“Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition”

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.”

“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”

“Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right”

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”

“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.”

“What has once happened, will invariably happen again, when the same circumstances which combined to produce it, shall again combine in the same way”

(and the classic and legendary quote) “Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people”

Ronald Reagan

USA 40th President – Ronald Reagan who survived an assassination attempt by John Hinckley Jr on March 20, 1981, was also famous for his quotes such as :

“Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall”

“Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music.”

“Within the covers of the Bible are all the answers for all the problems men face.”

“We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.”

There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits to the human capacity for intelligence, imagination, and wonder”

“There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.”

John F. Kennedy

Memorable quotes from 35th US President, John F. Kennedy who died on 22 November 1963 after being shot in Dallas, Texas include:

“And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country.”

“Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.”

“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future”

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.

If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich.

Too often we... enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate.

When written in Chinese, the word "crisis" is composed of two characters—one represents danger, and the other represents opportunity.

Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.

Unconditional war can no longer lead to unconditional victory.

Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.

So Obama, what will your famous quotes be???

Like past Presidents of the US, Obama also inherits many things from his predessor.

2 wars – in Iraq and Afghanistan, The Global Economic Crisis, The endless Israel-Palestinian conflict, The 2 Koreans – North & South that are still technically at war, Foreign policy not so friendly nations like Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba and Venezuela and the war against terror and the hunt for the elusive Osama bin Laden.

What happens next in the first 4 years of Obama’s Presidency??

Only God knows….

Good Luck Obama, Good Luck America
