About: Obama Leaves God out of Thanksgiving Speech, Riles Critics

The action
Critics of President Obama felt little holiday cheer after the president did not thank God in his Thanksgiving-themed weekly Internet address. They immediately took to Twitter and the Internet to voice anger and disbelief.

The reaction
People are saying:

1) As a black women I kick myself everyday because i voted for obama never again will i listen to brainwashed democratic plantation blacks. Im free now and im voting republican 2012.

2) Religion has no place in Politics especially in a SECULAR nation like the US.

3) I'm just glad ..... or thankful to be home : ) instead of deployed this year : )

4) He didn't thank God for the same reason that he goes golfing and isn't with his family on Christmas! He isn't a Christian! He said it all when he said he was glad that McCain didn't bring up his Muslim faith, when he was being interviewed. We know what Obama is all about by now. If he is re-elected in 2012, then we know where America is headed! To He-- in a hand basket!

5) Since when has Thanksgiving been a christian holiday?

6) Matthew 6: 5 When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites! They love to stand and pray in the houses of worship and on the street corners, so that everyone will see them. I assure you they have already been paid in full.6 But when you pray, go to your room , close your door , and pray to your father who is unseen, and your father who sees what you do in private will reward you.

7) I don't want to live.... In this country anymore... Seriously you christian extremists are ruining our wonderful secular republic, how dare you think this country is for you and you only. You are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

8) If more Americans PRACTICED their religion rather than using it to condemn others this could actually become a better country.

9) It is an unseasonably warm 65 degrees in the Washington area, and President Obama has bolted out of the White House to go golfing.
It’s his 30th time golfing this year and the 88th golf outing of his presidency.
He’s at the Andrews Air Force base course with one of his usual crew, White House trip director Martin Nicholson, as well as Marvin’s brother Walter and Reggie Love.
Love, who is Obama’s personal assistant – or “body man” – is not usually a golfing companion. So the outing may be a farewell gift to Reggie, who is leaving by the end of the year.
Obama also referred to himself as "Commander AND Chief" in his Thanksgiving Day speech instead of "Commander-IN-Chief"

About: Ed Henry Clashes With Obama At White House Press Conference

The action

Fox News Chief White House Correspondent Ed Henry experienced a tense moment with President Obama during a Thursday press conference. The President held a joint press conference with Lee Myung-Bak, President of South Korea. Ed Henry had the first question of the conference and asked Obama if he considered the alleged Iranian assassination plot to be "an act of war."

Henry decided to quote a Mitt Romney statement from last week when asking for the President's plans to address Iran's alleged terror plot. Henry asked the President "what specific steps will you take to hold Iran accountable? Especially when Mitt Romney charged last week, quote, 'If you do not want America to be the strongest nation on Earth, I am not your President. You have that president today.'"

Obama paused and answered, "Well I did not know you were the spokesman for Romney," and smiled down at Henry.

The reaction
People are saying:

1) Henry's quote contained a slur on the President. Henry could have left the value judgement out, but he didn't. The questions was ENTIRELY inappropri­ate in a joint press conference with a foreign leader. Henry is an embarrassm­ent.

2) Never could stand the smug, too pleased with himself Ed Henry, he was biased on CNN and now he's found the perfect home at Fox News where he can regurgitat­e right wing talking points and get slapped down by President Obama - can't say I have a problem with that.

3) The White Press Corps should be reserved for press, not propagandi­sts.

4) And as Henry sat down, the Reporter next to him leaned over and whispered;
"You need any help getting his foot out of your butt?"

5) Why is an entertainm­ent organizati­on given a press pass to the White House. Fox News won a court case by successful­ly arguing that they are legally allowed to present known lies as news because they weren't a news company.

6) Now Folks THAT was a slap down from someone who has shown us MORE success in foreign policy in 3 years than Bush did in 8. LOL.

7) Why is a White House journalist taking a political comment from a Republican presidenti­al candidate and trying to embarass the president in front of a foreign leader? Ed Henry knows that Romney made that comment to appease the right wing base. It was not a factual statement. Fox News once again cements their position as a media joke.

About: Google Millionaire Tells Obama: 'Raise My Taxes, Please!'

People are saying:

1) Obama, please do not raise my taxes. I do not want to pay tax that goes to pay interest for money that banks create out of nothing when we borrow. I do not want to pay interest to the FED, I do not want to pay interest to any private bank. Google for “How do banks create money" to understand the cause of your own slavery.

2) So much a fake. lf he wants to pay more all he has to do is write a check to the U.S. Treasury. Give me a break, this was a planned show and tell.

3) This guy is grandstanding. lf he wants to share his wealth with the government, cut them a check. Same goes for Warren Buffett, et al.
Those rich liberals always yak about paying more but it’s always us poor stiffs on the bottom who wind up paying thru the nose.
Cher once said, "Raise my taxes. I'll just work harder." That’s good for you Cher, but I'm working just as hard as I can and earning all I can. And, it’s not enough to go around much less pay more taxes.

4) Or maybe we can just make the little people keep paying more and more and more ...........................

5) OR MAYBE THE RICH SHOULD PAY MORE IN TAXES. HECK THEY'VE ENJOYED A WHOLE DECADE OF BUSH TAX CUTS.
