White House Launches Audio Series Titled “Being Biden”

Another one to file under “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” – via AP:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans who petitioned the White House to give Vice President Joe Biden his own reality TV show may be getting the next-best thing.

The White House on Thursday launched an audio series to give Americans the sense they’re along for the ride for some of Biden’s behind-the-scenes moments.

Dubbed “Being Biden,” the series features photographs of Biden from events that aren’t part of his public schedule. Viewers can listen to Biden narrate the story behind the photos, curated by White House staffers to give the public a look at his life inside the Obama administration.

It’s an idea not terribly far removed from what thousands of Americans requested earlier this year when signed a White House petition to give the freewheeling, often unscripted vice president a recurring show on C-SPAN — “a glimpse of the lighthearted side of politics even in the midst of contentious and divisive national debates.” The petition didn’t cross the 100,000-name threshold required for a White House response in the time allotted, and it was later removed from the White House website.

With “Being Biden,” the Obama administration can capitalize on Biden’s ability to connect viscerally with Americans without the risk of an impromptu moment that could go awry. The series uses official photos from White House photographers, allowing the administration to engage Americans directly through social media without relying on the mainstream media to get their message out.

The vice president’s office said new episodes will be released regularly, and said the idea stemmed from the regular radio-style addresses Biden would record for constituents when he served in the Senate....."

Here’s the direct link to the “Being Biden” White House page.

"On one hand, it’s kinda disturbing they’d use this outlet for Biden to “get his message out” rather than going the mainstream media route – after all, this is the “most open, honest, and accountable administration EVAH!!!” 

I look forward to the parody videos of this from the vast number of witty, creative conservatives who are out there. Let the “Being Biden” games begin!" - Sister Toldjah

More Rot From the Inside

Keeping with his theme of rotting America from the inside, Obama plans to move another dose of leftist disease into a more powerful administration position: 

Meet Thomas Perez. 

Dear Leader has tapped this radical leftist lawyer Perez to be the next Secretary Of Labor. This scumbag is now an assistant attorney general at the U.S. Department of Justice. Yeah, Eric Holder's D.O.J. Here's a little background on Mr. Perez:

from The American Thinker

"Perez led the Obama administration's assault on voter ID laws last year. As John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky report in Who's Counting, as a member of the Montgomery County, Md., Council in 2003 he also tried to force governments to accept fraud-prone matricula consular ID cards issued by Mexican consular offices. He was a board member of Casa de Maryland, an advocacy group for illegal aliens funded by George Soros and the recently deceased Hugo Chavez.

Under Perez, the DOJ Civil Rights Division has refused to prosecute hate crimes committed against white Americans. He was reportedly instrumental in the Justice Department's dismissal of a case involving two Philadelphia-based members of the New Black Panther Party who intimidated white voters on Election Day 2008....." 

More about the Panther case and an interesting recently released report on other race based justice cases can be read at PJ Media.

"Perez is apparently in favor of Saudi-style anti-blasphemy laws. In Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries offenders can be condemned to death merely for insulting Islam. Amazingly, at a congressional hearing last year, Perez pointedly declined to rule out bringing such laws to the United States. At the July 27, 2012, meeting of the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution, Perez refused to say whether he would uphold the religious speech protections in the First Amendment in the future. 

Perez, like so many Obama administration officials, believes that America is a seething hotbed of "Islamophobia," filled with ignorant racist rubes who irrationally fear the Muslim religion. He has worked with hardcore Islamist groups such as the terrorist-linked Islamic Society of North America and applauded Islamists for lobbying against airline security measures...." Read More Here

Islamic radical friendly, advocate for illegals, doesn't believe in equal protection under the law for all races, educated in the nest of worms called Harvard Law.......yeah, he should fit right in and be in a more powerful cabinet position in which to influence the rotting away from within agenda for America that is well underway.

Looks Like Mr.'Fair Share' Own Minions Aren't Listening

White House aides owe the IRS $333,000 in back taxes

Investors Business Daily

"A new report from the Internal Revenue Service has just revealed that 40 of Obama's White House aides owe their employer, the federal government, a total of $333,485 in back taxes.

This is the third straight year that the chief executive of the United States has been unable to get his own staff members to keep up with a citizen's legal income tax obligations. to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes owed. All this while Obama has made such rhetorical hay about corporations and the wealthy paying their fair share.

In its previous report the annual IRS audit accounting found that 36 of the Democrat's White House aides owed $833,000 in back taxes. The year before it was 41 Obama staff members owing $830,000. In the past year Obama's teleprompter has been on automatic pilot with oft-repeated demands that Americans and profitable corporate giants pay their fair share of taxes.

The Internal Revenue Service is prohibited by law from releasing the names of tax delinquents. But any federal boss could discover their delinquent employees' identity and bring the hammer down -- especially since Mr. Fair Taxes in the Oval Office has made such a big thing about other Americans keeping up."

Pope Benedict XVI to Join New Orleans Saints Broadcast Team

New Orleans, La. - The National Football League today gave their nod of approval to an announcement of a tentative agreement with Joseph Ratzinger to do color commentary for the New Orleans Saints 2013 season on Fox Sports Network. 

The Network stressed the deal was a great move for all involved and welcomed to their broadcast lineup the former pope's enthusiasm for the team and knowledge of the game. 

Ratzinger, an avid NFL football fan and a rabid Saints fanatic since their Super Bowl Win, told Middle Finger News his Sundays have been quite busy for the last few years and he hasn't had the time he had wished for to watch his two favorite sports on television, the other being the NASCAR Cup Series.

If all goes as expected, Ratzinger will divide his air time between the NFL Today Pre-Game show, the Saints game broadcast and the Saints Vatican Radio simulcast and post game rap up.

The New Orleans Saints Home Office was ecstatic at the news and the all of Bourbon Street is in a race to come up with a signature drink named after the Saint's new favorite son.
