Barack Obama (@POTUS) joined the Twitterverse today.  The following is a pretty humorous exchange between he and Bill Clinton.  It's funny regardless of political persuasion. 

Bill Clinton:  "Welcome to @Twitter, @POTUS! One question: Does that username stay with the office? #askingforafriend"

Barack Obama: "Good question, @billclinton. The handle comes with the house. Know anyone interested in @FLOTUS?"

And, as Ex pointed out, immediately got another 'smack in the face' lesson in how prevalent racism still is in this country.   :-[

"You've probably noticed that opinion pollsters go out of their way to include as many morons as possible in surveys ... I think it's dangerous to inform morons about what their fellow morons are thinking. It only reinforces their opinions. And the one thing worse than a moron with an opinion is lots of them." -- Scott Adams

In other words: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  ;)

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." -- Upton Sinclair

"Hitler is gone, but if the majority of our fellow citizens are more susceptible to the slogans of fear and race hatred than to those of peaceful accommodation and mutual respect among human beings, our political liberties remain at the mercy of any eloquent and unscrupulous demagogue." -- S.

Yeah, right.   :rolleyes:

A Twitter account is created for the POTUS and VIOLA!, instantly Twitter racism is created and directed towards the POTUS!

Yeah, I can see the 'obvious' cause and effect relationship you're getting at there.   :rolleyes:

Prove those are actually conservatives doing it and that it's even real and not just a created story. It's BS and you know it since it took a hell of a lot of white people to put him in office in the first place. It's beyond me why you insist on listening to those race baiters. Playing the race card has got to stop and even the blacks are beginning to hate it at this point because it's divisive and creating tension everywhere.

Of all the professional sporting venues and events, in which the National Anthem precedes the event, there is in my opinion no better and consistent performance given than at ANY home game for the Chicago Blackhawks.

ALWAYS a stirring and patriotic / traditional performance before each and every single game, which is accompanied throughout by the vigorous cheering of the home teams ravenous fans.

If you ever feel your patriotism waning, purchase a set of tickets for a Blackhawks home game and get there early. You won't want to miss the National Anthem. And if you come away from it unmoved, you just might need to reconsider the country you live in!

You know, there IS something about that song, despite WHERE it is played at.  I have been moved at High School sporting events....

btw, GO BLACKHAWKS!

In watching the film "Jewel of the Nile" I fid it far more disturbing today than I did in 1985.

Those middle-eastern villains starkly resemble ISIL! Complete with black flag!  :spooked:

Happy Memorial Day, everyone. My favorite childhood memory of Memorial Day is riding or walking around our neighborhood with my friends and cousins. All the fathers were out working the grill and you could listen to the race anyplace outside from all the radios people had brought out on their porches.
