Goldman Employees Donated $1 Million to Obama Campaign

U.S. Senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias pushed his Republican opponent in Illinois to give back donations from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. without saying whether President Barack Obama should return almost $1 million that bank employees contributed to his White House bid.
Obama, a political mentor and basketball buddy to Giannoulias, received the money from employees and their family members, making Goldman Sachs second only to the University of California as his biggest single source for donors in 2007 and 2008, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Gay rights protesters heckle Obama

LOS ANGELES | A group of gay rights activists disrupted President Obama's speech at a fundraiser here for Sen. Barbara Boxer Monday night, decrying what they describe as Mr. Obama's inaction on overturning the military's ban on gay service members and calling on him to submit repeal language to Congress.
The activists interrupted Mr. Obama in the middle of his remarks to high-value Democratic donors during a reception at the California Science Center, with one protester shouting from the audience, "What about 'Don't ask, don't tell?'"
Mr. Obama yelled back, "We are going to do that."
He kept talking, increasing his volume to be heard over the protesters as the crowd took up a chant of "Yes, we can," to drown them out.

Arizona passes tough illegal immigration law

(Reuters) - Arizona lawmakers passed a controversial immigration bill on Monday requiring police in the state that borders Mexico to determine if people are in the United States illegally, a measure critics say is open to racial profiling.

Lawmakers in the Arizona Senate voted 17 to 11 to approve the bill, widely regarded as the toughest measure yet taken by any U.S. state to curb illegal immigration.
The state's House of Representatives approved the measure last week. Governor Jan Brewer, a Republican, has five days to veto the bill or sign it into law.

Kliphnote: Tough illegal immigration law? If you're here, in the USA, illegally, it's a crime.

What is so tough about that? It's the law.
Birther? If Obama wanted to stop the rumors he should show his birth certificate.
Why he doesn't is beyond me. 
And why do people criticizes those who question his birth? 
Are they not supposed to question "the one"?

I don't care if ,when or where he was born.
Many more issues to be concerned about.
Not the least is Iran.
This may be bigger then many think.
