President Obama Clowns His Haters At The White House Correspondents’ Dinner (Funny Videos)

 

It was the annual dinner of the White House Correspondents’ Association on Saturday night, which has essentially become an annual roast. Dubbed “nerdprom,” the event features a sometimes awkward mix of political journalists, Hollywood celebrities, star athletes and even a few tech titans, alongside Washington politicians including the president and First Lady.





Rev. Al Sharpton Denies Report That He Was Paid To Be An FBI Informant

According to a lengthy report published by The Smoking Gun (TSG), Rev. Al Sharpton was once an informant, CI-7, for an FBI/NYPD joint task force that sought information about Mafia crime families.

 

His activities, the story says, went on for four years during the mid-1980s. While Rev. Al doesn’t deny that he worked with authorities, he says the lengths to which he worked, as described by The Smoking Gun, are “crazy.”

“If I provided all the information they claimed I provided, I should be given a ticker-tape parade,” Rev. Sharpton told The New York Post.

The site says it got its information from a variety of affidavits, FBI documents, and even interviews with the Genovese family. In meetings where he met with crime family members, the report says, there was talk of a “wide range of mob business” all captured by a wire secreted into the meetings. “Sharpton’s briefcase–a specially customized Hartmann model–recorded his every word,” TSG says. Information Sharpton collected is alleged to have been used for further bugs and wire tapping to collect evidence against members of the mob.

Sharpton, who spoke with TSG about the allegations, says he wasn’t an informant, and accused those of making these claims of trying to undermine his civil rights activism. “In his most recent book, The Rejected Stone, which hit best seller lists following its October 2013 publication, Sharpton claimed to have once been ‘set up by the government,’ whose agents later leaked ‘false information’ that ‘could have gotten me killed,’” TSG writes.
“He denied being paid to snitch and said he never carried a briefcase with a listening device,” the Post adds.
The TSG article continues:

“In an interview Saturday, Sharpton again denied working as a confidential informant, claiming that his prior cooperation with FBI agents was limited to efforts to prompt investigations of drug dealing in minority communities, as well as the swindling of black artists in the recording industry. He also repeatedly denied being “flipped” by federal agents in the course of an undercover operation. When asked specifically about his recording of the Gambino crime family member, Sharpton was noncommittal: “I’m not saying yes, I’m not saying no.”

Sharpton says that he was the target of threats and did seek help with them.
These days, Rev. Sharpton is the president and CEO of the National Action Network, which is having its 2014 convention this week with guests to include media members from MSNBC, President Obama, and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. TSG notes that he’s paid $241,402 annually for his work with the nonprofit. Moreover, he hosts PoliticsNation on MSNBC.

LOL: Zach Galifianakis Interviews President Barack Obama [VIDEO]

If you’ve never seen Zach Galifianakis’ interview series Between Two Ferns, now is a great time to start. The segment pits Zach against celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Natalie Portman, Tina Fey, and Bruce Willis, and now he’s pulled out all the stops for his latest guest, President Barack Obama.

Zach Galifianakis and Obama partake in witty banter against each other. Obama criticizes the popularity of the show, The Hangover 3 being a dud, and Bradley Cooper being superior to Zach. Zach mentions Obama’s birth certificate and asks what it’s like to be the “last black president.”

Naturally, all the jokes lead into Obama’s plug for the Affordable Healthcare Act, which still affords a few laughs.

Barack Obama Starts The “My Brother’s Keeper” Initiative

President Obama is taking action to launch My Brother’s Keeper – a new initiative to help every boy and young man of color who is willing to do the hard work to get ahead.

For decades, opportunity has lagged behind for boys and young men of color. But across the country, communities are adopting approaches to help put these boys and young men on the path to success. The President wants to build on that work. We can learn from communities that are partnering with local businesses and foundations to connect these boys and young men to mentoring, support networks, and skills they need to find a good job or go to college and work their way up into the middle class. And the Administration will do its part by helping to identify and promote programs that work. 

That starts by using proven tools that expand opportunity at key moments in the lives of these young people. The President believes this includes ensuring access to basic health, nutrition, and to high-quality early education to get these kids reading and ready for school at the youngest age. But that’s not enough. We need to partner with communities and police to reduce violence and make our classrooms and streets safer. And we need to help these young men stay in school and find a good job– so they have the opportunity to reach their full potential, contribute to their communities and build decent lives for themselves and their families.

President Obama To Raise Minimum Wage

President Obama plans to tell Congress Tuesday night he is taking executive action to raise the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour for some federal contract workers, administration officials said ahead of his State of the Union Address.

 

Obama will also pledge to work with Congress on legislation to increase the federal minimum wage for all workers from its current $7.25 to $10.10, said the administration officials who disclosed the plan on condition of anonymity so as not to preempt the president’s speech. 

“The President is using his executive authority to lead by example, and will continue to work with Congress to finish the job for all Americans by passing the (congressional) bill,” said in a White House statement.

Obama delivers his annual State of the Union speech Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.
The minimum wage debate highlights a speech in which Obama is also expected to call on Congress to pass a major immigration bill, and to outline his domestic and foreign policy agendas for the year ahead, including a variety of executive orders.

Obama’s minimum wage order will cover people who are performing services, such as janitors or construction workers, and are making less than $10.10 per hour.

Officials did not estimate how many people might be affected, but it might not be many. The increase will take effect with contracts signed after Obama’s order, and would only apply to contract renewals if other terms of the agreement are changed.

In his address, Obama will also make it clear he is prepared to take executive action in a variety of areas if Congress — including the Republican-run House — does not pass legislation. In addition to the minimum wage, he is expected to announce executive actions on job training and assistance to the long-term unemployed.

“You can be sure that the President fully intends to use his executive authority — to use the unique powers of the office — to make progress on economic opportunity,” said White House spokesman Jay Carney, who declined to discuss details of the speech.
Obama is also expected to discuss pledges his team has solicited from major corporations, asking them not to discriminate against the long-term unemployed.
