Family Research Council president Tony Perkins was scheduled to give a devotional message Thursday at Andrews Air Force Base for the National Prayer Luncheon. However, CBN News White House Correspondent David Brody has learned that Perkin's invitation was rescinded. After Perkins spoke out against President Barack Obama's plans to lift restrictions on homosexuals serving in the military, Perkins received a letter from chaplain's office at the base. The letter referred to past statement by the council, and read the group is, "incompatible in our role as military members who serve our elected officials and our commander in chief." Perkins appeared...

NBC's Brian Williams took time Thursday night to show video a statue of President Barack Obama at age 10, then known as Barry, being unveiled in Jakarta, near where he attended school at that age. “The statue was put there to remind children in Indonesia to follow their dreams and remind them their future is without limits,” Williams helpfully explained. The life-size bronze replica of Obama in a T-shirt and shorts is adorned with what Politico suggested “appears to be a Nobel medal around his neck” and what the AP described as “the young Obama smiling at a butterfly...

The second part of the video is just as creepy as the first. (maybe creepier)

NBC Correspondent Richard Engel is taking sides in the debate over what to do next in Afghanistan. Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” today, Engel declared, “I honestly think it’s probably time to start leaving the country. I really don’t see how this is going to end in anything but tears.” Engel’s comments -- which came in response to the simple question, “What did you see in Afghanistan?” – have become part of the political debate. In an interview today on CNN, Senator Russ Feingold repeatedly quoted Engel in a making the case for a timetable for withdrawing US troops. Engel...

"Hear our cry, Obama." "Deliver us, Obama." Video at link.

Did Ed post this one already? I’m honestly starting to lose count of how many of these there are. No “mmm mmm mmm” in this one or creepy substitutions of The One for Jesus, but kudos to the teacher who came up with the “change has come” drone. Reminds me of “one of us, one of us.” I already said everything I had to say on this subject in this post, so check that out if you missed it the first time. Fun fact: According to the YouTube description, this was taped at a PTA meeting. Presumably the parents were...

"He'll start us young and get us trained, And we won't have to use our brains. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Barack Hussein Obama." "His critics are obsessed with race, That's how we'll keep them in their place. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Barack Hussein Obama." Over to you.

Zero loves the little children All the children in our schools Red and yellow, black and white Future voters in his sight Zero loves the little children in our schools By now you probably have seen the VIDEO of those schoolchildren singing the praises of Barack Obama. And if you have been a follower of the DUmmie FUnnies for any length of time, you would expect two things: 1) The DUmmies would have a nutty thread on it; and 2) We here at DUmmie FUnnies would DUFU it. And since it involves singing, you could also expect: 3) I, Charles...

Officials in one Northwest Arkansas elementary school says people across the nation and Canada are calling them, angry about a You Tube video that shows the students singing a song about President Obama. But they say it's all a case of mistaken identity. Bernice Young Elementary School in Springdale has been taking angry calls from all over the country from people upset about a You Tube video of B. Bernice Young school kids singing about President Barack Obama. There's only one problem: it wasn't the Springdale Bernice Young students doing the singing. The song went something like this: "Red, yellow,...

An important update about the creepy video we posted yesterday. The Burlington Township School District, to which B. Bernice Youngs Elementary School belongs, posted the following Letter to Parents this morning. Dear Burlington Township Families: Today we became aware of a video that was placed on the internet which has been reported in the media. The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. The activity took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to honor the contributions of African Americans to our country. Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes...

Obama was “appointed by God”, we are instructed by a man boasting academic credentials. Writing in the Orlando Sentinel, Jeremy Levitt, “associate dean for International Programs and a distinguished professor of international law at Florida A&M University College of Law in Orlando,” makes this case at the conclusion of a rambling attack on critics of ObamaCare and the right in general:

Administration’s Suggestions for Teachers: Read Books about Obama, Post Obama Quotes on Classroom Walls Tuesday, September 08, 2009 By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief (CNSNews.com) - The “corrected” lesson plans the U.S. Department of Education is suggesting that schools around the country use to turn President Obama’s speech to students today into a “teachable moment” still call for teachers to read books about Obama and to post quotations from Obama in large print on classroom walls. The Department of Education created two “menus of classroom activities” for use with the president’s speech. One is designed to guide Pre-K through 6th grade...

Some people noticed that many reporters rose from their seats last Friday when President Obama unexpectedly entered the White House briefing room, but the same courtesy was not always extended in the past when President Bush would make an appearance. Comparison videos were even posted on YouTube. It’s a long-standing practice for reporters to rise when the president enters the East Room for a news conference, but that hasn’t been the case in the briefing room. I checked with two colleagues who served as senior wire service reporters during the Bush Presidency and who, in matters of press protocol, the...

(CNSNews.com) - Grammy-award winning musician Tony Bennett told CNSNews.com he “loves everything” Barack Obama has done in his first 100 days as president and thinks every American should “give him all-out support for anything he wants to do.” Bennett further said that Americans should imitate the other countries of the world that support Obama. “I really hope that every citizen of the United States would imitate the rest of the world because they’re all for Obama,” said Bennett. “Every other country adores what happened – in our great country – to have him as president.”

"President Obama is a man of intelligence and some remarkable gifts. He has a great ability to inspire, as we saw from his very popular visit to Canada just this past week. But whatever his strengths, there’s no way to reinvent his record on abortion and related issues with rosy marketing about unity, hope and change. Of course, that can change. Some things really do change when a person reaches the White House. Power ennobles some men. It diminishes others. Bad policy ideas can be improved. Good policy ideas can find a way to flourish. But as Catholics, we at...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- The head of the Colorado Springs NAACP is crying foul after a picture of President Barack Obama was removed from a sign at the Peterson Air Force Base commissary. The picture accompanied a sign near the entrance saying the government-run military grocery store would be closed on Presidents Day. The Defense Commissary Agency, which oversees the store, says employees took it down after customers complained that the holiday is about presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, not Obama. Rosemary Harris, president of the Colorado Springs branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,...

The advertisement for this appears on the right hand side of the page. Pepsi is asking for people to send messages to the newly sworn in President with suggestions how he could "referesh America". Have at it folks!
