| LOS ANGELES - U.S. first lady Michelle Obama made a surprise and unprecedented appearance on Sunday´s Oscars telecast when she presented the award for Best Picture, the first time a president or first lady has ever presented an Academy Award. Appearing live on screen from the White House in Washington, almost 3,000 miles from the Oscars ceremony in Hollywood, Obama praised the work of the movie industry before announcing the Iran hostage drama "Argo" the Best Picture winner. Wearing a silver evening dress, Obama said this year´s nominated films had "made us laugh, made us weep and grip

It would have been a great time for one of the EBS tests we all hate. Beeeeeeeeeeep. What a classless piece of leftist trash. Hey, Michelle, the election is over, you can stop pandering. And did you notice the placement of military personnel behind her? Oh, please! Pathetic. Guess they all drew the short straws. God, make it stop.

Her Jimmy Fallon appearance was apparently just a warm-up. The Obama´s are lathered with narcissism. I´ve never seen the like.
Too bad, the show was really quite classy this year...up to that moment. Glad Argo won. Americans saving Americans.

Ms. Laura Bush did what she could to improve the lives of women who truly struggle, those in Africa and Afghanistan. The Hollywood whores would never give her the time of day. Of course, I suppose we should simply see this for what it is - an implicit Oscar for one of the best acting jobs ever. Tonight Michelle Obama will play the part of a first lady who loves her country and wants to see it succeed.

Just a bunch of liberal Democrats slapping each other on the back. That so-called academy is supposed to be a private organization with the presenters always being members of the academy, and when they get up to the big time Oscars have always had previous Oscar winners do the presenting.
Mrs Obama is not a member of the academy and certainly has never been awarded an Oscar, so her appearance was totally political, with the worst part being that she used a number of US military officers attired in their dress uniforms as stage props behind her.

Cool people, Oscar presenters versus the evil Republicans who deny you condoms, steal your money, put your daddy out of a job and sell your remains to the knackers yard.

No. 13 is right. I have a SIL who watches this award stuff religiously. She would find an appearance by Michelle "Sooo cool! She really understand the American people!" This just endears the BO´s all the more to voters. I also wouldn´t discount MO, at some point, having her own TV/movie career. Now that Oprah has "retired" MO could step into her wide shoes. I´ve been boycotting Hollywood for years - I can´t stand theaters, their questionable cleanliness & the smell of burnt popcorn. I also don´t like repulsive people (the stars!) cussing at me from the big screen. It is mind-boggling to me that movie-goers actually PAY for this abuse!

Why can´t these people leave us alone? I do not watch the Oscars but for goodness sake. Why do they feel the need to stick their noses into every corner of our lives? she should have just stuck her butt up on the screen and let the audience kiss it.

For young Europeans, it must be difficult to imagine the routine deprivation that existed behind the Iron Curtain when Margaret Thatcher came to power. As a refugee in London during the Eighties, I had to smuggle necessities to my family in Poland: toothpaste, shampoo, washing powder and, hidden in the parcels, miniature editions of books that were banned there. Occasionally, these were found and confiscated – including, in 1984, a copy of Nineteen Eighty-Four. Mrs Thatcher’s role in changing all this cannot be overstated. For those behind the Iron Curtain, she was

In the immigration-reform legislation soon to be released by the Senate’s Gang of Eight, there will be a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants — but it will require proof of the border’s having been secured, and it will involve an arduous process that could easily take two decades for those eligible. The mark-up process for the Gang’s legislation will begin during the week of May 6. There will be no limits placed on how many amendments can be added, according to a source familiar with the negotiations. These are the broad outlines of the legislation: Modernizing the legal-immigration system.

There is nothing extraordinary about her, and by that I mean she´s not extreme; she´s not way, way far out there. She is a mainstream American liberal today. Folks, that´s very important.

Ashley Judd is a Hollywood actress who thought about, and decided against, running as a Democrat for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, where Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is up for a sixth term next year. That´s about all we knew about her until yesterday, except for one other fact that led us to suspect she was kind of strange. Back in December a reader sent along a headline from a Kentucky paper describing Judd as "Still Mum" on a prospective candidacy. "Mum" is easily recognizable as the British translation of "Mom," so we thought this might make for an amusing juxtaposition.

Because the BBC had a series of run-ins with Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, and is hardly well disposed towards the Tory-led Coalition, I had expected it to pour buckets of cold water over the memory of the Iron Lady. To begin with, I was pleasantly surprised. The tone of BBC News 24 on Monday afternoon was slightly awed, even reverential, as is befitting when any great figure dies. Some of the newscasters even wore a black tie. A picture of Margaret Thatcher was shown as silence was observed.

CHICAGO — When she returns home here Wednesday to deliver a speech on gun violence, first lady Michelle Obama will be making a rare foray into the politics of the day that could presage a more activist role during her husband’s second term. Obama is taking what aides described as an intentional step outside her narrow focus on military families and childhood nutrition to confront the dark reality of young people being gunned down on the streets of America’s cities. The remarks come amid a contentious debate on Capitol Hill over stricter gun laws advocated by President Obama.

Romany Blythe, 45, created a group on Facebook called The Witch is Dead followed by more than 5,000 people, calling for “demonstrations of disapproval” across the country. A number of places on the list were locations of riots and demonstrations that took place across the country on Monday, including Bristol city centre and George Square in Glasgow.

A bipartisan group of senators has struck a deal to expand gun background checks to all commercial sales — whether at gun shows, via the Internet or in any circumstance involving paid advertising, according to Senate aides familiar with the talks. The proposed agreement would be more stringent than current law, which requires checks only when purchases are made through a licensed dealer, but less than originally sought by President Obama and congressional Democrats, who were seeking to expand background checks to nearly every kind of sale.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

More than six months since Ambassador Christopher Stevens was assassinated by terrorists in Benghazi, the Obama administration is still trying to keep a lid on information about the attack. Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible? Members of Congress have asked hundreds of questions at hearings conducted by several investigative committees, but many of the most significant have been left unanswered.

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.

Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius conceded Monday that implementing the Affordable Care Act has been more complicated and frustrating than the Obama administration expected, largely due to Republicans who have opposed the law´s state-based exchanges and Medicaid expansion. "The politics has been relentless and that continues," Sebelius said. "There was some hope that once the Supreme Court ruled in July, and then once an election occurred there would be a sense that, ´This is the law of the land, let´s get on board, let´s make this work.´"

In a stunning end to one of the most aggressively unsuccessful tenures in retail history, JCPenney (JCP) last night announced that CEO Ron Johnson would be leaving effective immediately. Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
