Obama Hits Head Boarding Marine One … Imagine if GWB Had done This … SNL Would Have a Field Day

SNL made fun of Gerald Ford when he tripped, they made fun of Bush when he got sick at a dinner, they even made fun of Bob Dole, a wounded war veteran when his hand slipped on a rail … so where is the obligatory Obama skit?

File this one under Three Stooges humor … President Barack Obama bumps head boarding Marine One … DOH! According to the AP, he misjudged the height of the doorway. I am glad they took the opportunity to explain the reason why “The One” bumped his noggin, because if it had been George W. Bush it would have been because he is a clutz and a doofus.

President Barack Obama is still getting used to some details of his new life, including the fact he has to duck when boarding his presidential helicopter.

The 6-foot-1-inch Obama bumped his head Monday morning when boarding Marine One on the White House’s south lawn. He misjudged the doorway and banged his head on the low doorway.

Who said Obama does not do anything worthy of late night talk show humor? Although on a more serious note, “The Chosen One’s” misjudging of the door of Marine One might just be a metaphor for his handling of a so-called stimulus plan.

Casey Anthony Against Public Memorial for Caylee Anthony … Who Cares What Casey Anthony Thinks!

Tomorrow morning their will be a public memorial service for Caylee Anthony at the First Baptist Church of Orlando. All are invited to attend, unless you are on the Anthony ban list. There is one in particular who will not be attending and that is tot mom indicted for the capital murder of Caylee Anthony.

However, Casey Anthony is against and disapproves of the public memorial for her two year old daughter Caylee. Why? Because far be it from someone else to get any attention, its all about Casey Anthony in her mind. In all honesty, who cares what Casey’s wishes are with regards to Caylee, she gave up those rights a long time ago.

Statement from Casey Anthony read by her defense attorney Jose Baez in regards to Caylee and the memorial service. So Casey Anthony breaks her silence to show her displeasure over a memorial for Caylee, rather than maybe writing her own farewell to be read at the service. How this must be eating at Casey Anthony that Caylee is getting all the attention even in death.

 I miss Caylee every day and every minute of every day. I can’t be there for Caylee’s funeral, but some day I want to go and visit her grave and tell her how much I miss her.

I allowed my parents to be in charge for the funeral for Caylee. I told them I wanted her buried in a casket and I wanted there to be a gravestone so I could go and visit her. I asked them if there could only be a private funeral for just the family.

I know they cremated her. I still don’t want a public event with cameras and everybody around for Caylee’s service, but I can’t stop my parents from doing what they want. I truly hope that it will help them.

Jose Baez went on to say that Casey wanted the memorial to be private and that “people grieve in different ways”. Yes Mr. Baez, some people grieve by buying bottles of water and eating a bag of chips instead of playing an active role in their daughter’s memorial. Some people even do not petition the court in an attempt to possibly attend their daughter’s memorial.

UPDATE I: Kansas based Hate Church Westboro Baptist Church Plans to Protest at Caylee’s Memorial

The Westboro Baptist Church is just what is needed to complete the Circus that will be the Caylee Anthony Memorial. Maybe when they are done with their “HATE” they can go picket the Leonard Padilla event, seeing that he has been banned from the main memorial service. That would be quite the media spectacle.

Members of a controversial Kansas church known for protesting military funerals plan to picket Caylee Marie Anthony’s memorial Tuesday.

Westboro Baptist Church detailed its plans in a recent news statement, which concludes with the phrase “GOD HATES AMERICA.” The Topeka church claims that U.S. troops killed in combat are God’s punishment for a nation harboring homosexuals.

Westboro Baptist Church is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Hmm … Barack Obama Approval Index Rating Continues a Steady Decline … The Bloom is off the Rose

It looks like the luster has faded from the Barack “Obamamessiah” Obama Presidential approval rating according to the Rasmussen report. Presently, Obama has a Presidential Approval Index rating of +11 that is down from just a week ago when he was at +21. (see daily trends here) Obama’s Presidential Approval Index is drastically down since he first was sworn into office when it was a +28 to +30.

Overall, 59% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far while 39% disapprove. Today’s results mark the first time that Obama’s overall rating has fallen below 60% as either President-elect or President.

H/T: Gateway Pundit

So what took the bloom off the rose? Obama’s actions as President vs. voters perception, maybe. We would concur with The Gateway Pundit, that it has taken less than one month to accomplish the following:

All it took was one month, a few tax cheats, expanding abortion funding, closing Gitmo, moving the US Census to the White House, putting 25,000 US companies at risk and the most expensive piece of legislation in American history to drive his numbers southward to 59-39.

Making matters worse, only 37% support the stimulus package and 50% say that the Stimulus plan will make things worse. Also, America is evenly divided on Obama’s change from hope to fear in attempting to pass his stimulus plan.

Casey Anthony Case, Caylee Anthony Memorial: An Editorial for your consideration

The Memorial Service for Caylee Marie Anthony is scheduled for Tuesday February 10 at 10am at the First Baptist Church, Orlando. I am very much in favor of a public memorial for our “peanut” as some of us refer to her and very much against the current plans for it.

There are thousands of people across the US and outside our borders that fell in love with this child at the first sight of her beaming, trusting smile. As we watched the sickening saga unfold with thinly veiled contempt, we never miss a Nancy Grace or Geraldo. We RSS’d every forum and outlet, and we post and blog our hearts out.  Caylee was found, she was murdered and a new and palpable collective cry for justice has us thirsting for even more “access” to news and those in the “know” of this case.

Problem is, while we are all spending our time consuming every lick of information we can get our hands on, the ratings and media whores are lining their pockets with your money. They are now in receipt of your compassion, time and cash.  Caylee is never seeing any of that.

Stop the Insanity

It is unfortunate, but the truth is the venue and format of this memorial is a hot-bed for trouble. It is a security risk to the enth degree.  Do you recall the Springer family outside the Anthony’s screaming and closing their kid in the car door? Would you pack a room full of people like that and sit in the middle?

The very possibility that once again this child’s memory will be soiled with the Murt and Lert’s of the world, or worse, is unbearable to me. Leonard Padilla is on record saying he is not invited and verbally attacking Cindy over it. So what is he doing in O R L A W N D O? I’ll make this simple, he’s going to do the same thing he did during the TES search, which is stand around and give interviews and take pictures with people that were saying “well, at least he’s looking for her…” I WAS THERE. Leonard, Rob, and Tracy did not search for anything but the nearest TV camera.   The Econ river stunt was PRE-PLANNED. The only information he had about Caylee being in the river was that: SHE WAS NOT IN THE RIVER. It was a contrived publicity stunt and when Greta Van Sustern called him out about it, he has not been back to her show. For the record, in the beginning, I was an advocate of Leonard’s as I believed like most that he was well-intentioned and legitimately looking for Caylee.  Let me count the holes in my Christmas card list as a result.  Don’t take my word for it, he takes everyone’s call; ask him how many pics he and Tracy have been shopping from inside the Anthony home we can expect to see?

Here’s my prediction.  He will be on camera giving commentary on Monday and Tuesday and will say something like “The memorial is a sham anyway because Caylee is still in a box at the funeral home  because her Mother won’t release her and the Anthony’s won’t bury her without  Casey because they  believe they will find the one-armed babysitter responsible for her death.

Inflaming people =Market Value= Cash.  Yep, all boils down to the permissive marketing strategy developed by Seth Godin that all of us in the Agency biz cut our teeth on.  I for one am opting out.

Because IT MATTERS
