   I guess they will try anything to get somebody to watch!

   MSNBC, The Place For Politics, decided to interrupt its regularly scheduled morning news with a heart-stopping, crucial piece of information today.

   Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to Lean Forward until my head hits my desk… repeatedly.

   How Presidential!!!!

   Jimmy Fallon Tells Matt Lauer How He Landed Obama Interview: ‘The President Booked Himself’

   Jimmy Fallon appeared on the opposite end of the NBC programming schedule today with Matt Lauer on Today, in an in-studio interview where he talked about everything from getting President Obama to “Slow Jam the News” with him to somehow convincing Bruce Springsteen to perform a cover of Willow Smith‘s “Whip My Hair.” And he made some news on the President Obama interview– the whole thing was the White House’s idea.

   Oooooh, very scary! Can you believe the guts of the communist? Forcing the American host of a TV show to air an interview with him, the President. Mao, Lenin, and Pol Pot would be proud.

   How come the Blaze only does stories about the 3 member Black Panthers? I have never seen a story on the dozens of self-proclaimed white supremacist websites who make the Black Panthers appear like a Sunday school session. SMH. Is that the only way he can afford his Maseratis and Bentleys? Sensationalism and race-baiting? He ALWAYS has a story about the Black Panthers. ALWAYS.

   In other words he bought NBC with our money! When will this fiasco stop? Will he get away with everything because we can’t criticize him because we will be deemed racist? How screwed up!

    Anybody out there think that CNNs ratings will be lower this week than last week? May be CNN thinks they are in a limbo contest or a game of golf.

    @hillbilly Thank you for your response and you are correct on many things you posted……However hundreds of articles and postings that have been up long before Romney stepped into Presidential politics are out there on the internet. Wikipedia and many other sites that are very credible….also many that are not! However the overwhelming result is that the Romneys daddies daddy enjoyed polygomy many many many many many times over.

    When the saints left Nauvoo he was unable to accompany them to the west for lack of means. He moved to Burlington, Iowa, and later to St. Louis, Missouri. While there all of the family had small pox, except himself, wife and George, the eldest son. Miles and son, George, by some means were able to continue working. Being destitute it was the only means of getting something to live on. On March 18, 1850, by persistent toil, they had accumulated enough to start to Utah by ox team where he arrived October 12, 1850. He camped on the temple block. He was foreman of the Publick Work Shop from 1851 to 1856.

    On May 15, 1855, a committee by George A. Smith was sent around the temple block to make a survey for the work on the temple. They reported there was on hand 150,000 feet of lumber. They went into the Joiners Shop, which was under the supervision of Miles Romney, was a perfect beehive for industry, every bench being in active occupation and every man intent upon the labor set before him.

    Miles Romney, with others on February 22, 1856, was called to go on a mission to England. They left Salt Lake City April 22, 1856 and encountered a storm May 4, which lasted until the 7th. They had to feed their animals bread and cover them with their bedding. They traveled several days in snow and their animals being weak, their progress was slow. Miles Romney had sore feet and was very much fatigued from walking. On July 5, 1856, they embarked for England on the vessel called “New World, departing from New York and landing in Liverpool on August 7, 1856. On January 1, 1857, he was appointed to preside over the Manchester, Liverpool and Preston Conferences.

    He returned from England in April 1858, and on May 4th was on the Platt River. On May 7th all bedding and clothing were weighed and an average of 54 pounds were allowed per person. Over all amounts was fifteen cents per pound. He arrived in Provo June 23, 1858. At the fall fair of 1860 he headed a committee to award prizes on furniture and copper ware. He was living in the 14th Ward at the time. On October 8 and 9th he was called to settle in Southern Utah. He went to Dixie in 1862, to a town called Grafton. Afterwards he settled in St. George.

    In “Immortal Process” page 91, it states that the corner stone of the tabernacle dimensions 56 x 106. Miles Romney prepared the plans. Architecture and wood work was under the direction of Miles, a master builder, and he was assisted by Edson Barney, William Barnes, Willis Copeland, Hosea Stout, David Rogers, Thomas Cottam, Benjamin Blake, and Warren Hardy. It was in this building that William Blake displayed his artistic skill in plaster paris decoration, the first in St. George, Miles and others, their craftsmanship in the roof cornice and interior decorations, and Edward Parry in his stone cutlery and masonry.

    St. George Tabernacle staircase built by Miles Romney Miles designed and built the staircases in the Tabernacle. When Young came to see it he told Miles that it would have to go. Miles was adamant about it staying so he called 200 men and they lifted the balcony up, the pillars were cut off and the balcony was replaced. Brigham Young came again and said that he finally met a man that was as stubborn as he was. Miles was superintendent of all construction on the temple and also superintendent of public works. He labored zealously in the erection of the temple and tabernacle. Miles also built the back part of President’s home in St. George.

    Construction Supervisor Miles Romney seated second from right in front of the St.George Temple
    On Saturday evening, October 12, 1874, brother George Romney, received a telegram informing him that his father, Miles Romney, which working on the St. George temple, fell from a ladder breaking one of his arms and one of his legs. He received another dispatch stating that the injuries were very serious, indeed, Brother Romney, age 63 being against him, and being a heavy bodied man, the shock to his system in addition to the breaking of his bones, must have been very great.

    His many friends hoped to hear of his favorable progress and recovery. The last dispatch stated that the patient rested better on Saturday night than the previous night.

    He recovered from this accident and resumed his activities on the temple and tabernacle. At one time he was president of the 24th quorum of seventies. In the Deseret News, May 9, 1877, there was a notice of his death after a short illness. The illness was caused by a fall from a window while working on the temple. The closing paragraph of the obituary read as follows:

    “He was a kind father and a steadfast friend, liberal in his views and charitable in all, without fanaticism but firm in his faith. He died as he has lived in faith and fellowship. He leaves a wife, herself ill, seven children, fifty-seven grandchildren, five great grandchildren and a numerous circle of friends who mourn his departure. He was one of the noblest works of God, an honest man.

    Of his grandchildren who were old enough to remember him very well is Mary Romney Farr of St. Johns, Arizona, who was nine at his death and remembers carrying trays and water to him during his illness, and Gaskell who was six and remembers little of his grandfather, except that he was kind, but stern, when we helped ourselves from his favorite pear tree, instead of other fruits which he said we could help ourselves too.

    [Miles also married Ann King after 1830,

    Miles also married Margaret Romney after 1830,

    Miles also married Ellen Slater after 1830,

    _____________________________
    They rip into the AP,(of course) and seem to state with no facts to back up the counter that Romneys Grandaddy was a Polygmist, but do not counter that his Great Granddaddy was in fact one!

    They as most right wing sites do, focus on saying NOT TRUE! NOT TRUE! NOT TRUE!!! But do not provide evidence or even sources for their claims.

    Gabriel,

    The New Black Panthers probably number only in the hundreds. I get an education here. The ‘New Arrivals’ look similar to the White Supremacists.

    HuffPo Hires Radical Islamist Who Branded Non-Muslims “Animals” As UK Political Director…

    A devout Muslim who has praised Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and publicly branded all non-believers as mentally ill “animals” was recently hired to serve as the Huffington Post’s political director in the U.K.

    Mehdi Hasan, a controversial British media figure whom insiders have billed as a mouthpiece for the Iranian regime, recently left his job at the left-wing New Statesman magazine to join the Huffington Post as a senior staffer, according to reports in the British press.

    Why the hire ?

    Black Pastors Bash NAACP For Endorsing Gay Marriage

    The Coalition of African American Pastors announced Tuesday that it does not agree with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s decision to endorse the legalization of same-sex marriage. CAAP launched a petition last week to oppose broadening the legal definition of marriage. The coalition includes leaders of black churches and veteran civil rights leaders who marched with Martin Luther King Jr. The NAACP voted to endorse same-sex marriage Saturday, and NAACP President Benjamin Jealous publicly endorsed gay marriage Monday.

    The New Black Panthers ….. another similarity to White Supremacists . Neither like alternate life styles.

    @Joan: >>> In other words he bought NBC with our money! When will this fiasco stop? Will he get away with everything because we can’t criticize him because we will be deemed racist? How screwed up! <<<

    I don't think that the Obama racial card holds water anymore. There were a lot of Americans, Republicans, Democrats and independents…of every racial make-up, that would have supported Herman Cain for President. Cain should have held up a little on mentioning his 9-9-9 plan at every opportunity. The lamestream media made Cain look like a fool. And, the bottom fell out with tales of grabbing and groping.

    For a few weeks there, Cain was my man. He made more sense than most of the other GOP candidates but he was damaged goods.

    After three years of The Annointed One's term in the White House, Saturday Night Live had FINALLY started doing sketches about Obama, not always in such a positive light.

    Letterman continues his post as spokesman for the DNC. Dave's dream week of guests on his show are probably Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Throw in a Bill Maher and a Rachel Maddow (and don't forget "liberal doses" of Keith Olbermann) the following week to keep "The Message" going.

    Who care’s how many wives Romney grandfather’s had. I know I don’t! I don’t give a damn about Romney’s grandfather’s just like I don’t give a damn about Obama’s family history. I don’t give a damn if Romney put his dog on a cars roof top and drove across country or drove a mile down the road with the dog on the roof just like I don’t give a damn that Obama ate dog. I do give a damn about the state this country is in and the future of our country.
    The post by Jeff about Romney’s grandfather’s and who they married is what Jeff worries about ,then I hope he don’t vote.It’s pass f*cking history and has nothing to do with Mitt Romney.This is why the rest of to world thinks were a$$holes.Every election this stupid kind of sh&*t comes out.What’s next to come out? Obama’s grandfather hit his thumb with a hammer and said “damn it” or Romney’s mother said “damn it” after dropping a glass.This country is in a helluva mess and people are worried about how many wives Romney’s grandfather had or didn’t have or if Obama had dog bbq. Here a idea worry about who’s the best person that can get us out of this mess were in .Stop worrying about Romney’s grandfathers/wives and what Obama had on the grill.
