Isn't Pitney a blogger, or at least an internet writer? They are probably jealous that someone outside the press corps got to ask a question.

You are right there a large amount of questions and some one had to go through them for time and coherence sake. I wonder what would happen if Obama decided to answer every single question. The same people complain would say he is spending too much time in the public eye.

He's setting the bar pretty high for them with how he treats them and their mother. He is so respectful, loving and protective towards them.

"There are 24 double-X chromosomes up in Camp David as we speak," Obama said. "It's a little intimidating."

that's what i thought too. some folks are saying that it's really slow, and he looked frail, but he's looked frail for about 10 years now (and he's certainly looking better than he did around the trial when he was basically shuffling around) and pretty much all rehearsals are slow. you never go full speed when you're trying to work on hitting your spots, with lighting crews etc. it looked much like a lot of his old rehearsals used to, except he looked like the 50 year old that he was. he certainly looked much better than i would have expected, given how he's looked in recent years.

Once he said he wanted to “try” to fall back in love with her, that was a verbal slap…wait…no…a verbal gut punch. In other words, that mofo was telling her, “you're actually Plan B”.

It was good. Mike didn't move like he was 25, at least on the clips that were released. But, he also did not look frail and sick. He moved like a 50 year old man with vintage MJ moves. The singing was great, no indication that the nose/plastic surgeries affected that ability.

i don't get the drama here, the pitney thing is just the same old villager nonsense, but the townhall thing is truly bizarre. they had people submit questions on twitter, facebook, etc. how the hell do they think those questions get included? someone obviously has to read them and decide which ones to use. it just sounds like a bunch of manufactured outrage to me. and following the nonsense about not having sufficient access to sasha & mailia, it seems it's time for a whole lot of people to get slapped.

Civil Rights Act
:Landmark observed

President Obama has released a statement marking the anniversary of the passage of the Civil Rights Act. ...

... "Forty-five years ago today, President Johnson signed into law historic legislation that moved America closer toward fulfilling the dream of our founding – a dream of opportunity, equality, and justice for all. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended legal discrimination, helping grant all Americans equal justice under the law – no matter what their gender or the color of their skin.

"The Civil Rights Act was born during Freedom Summer 1963, but its passage was only possible because generations of Americans of all backgrounds stood up, sat down, and marched in freedom’s cause. Once it was signed into law, a renewed pledge was made to all Americans not to deny any man a seat at a lunch counter, not to deny any woman an opportunity in the workplace, and not to deny any child a chance to make the most of their God-given potential.

"But while the Civil Rights Act opened doors of freedom and opportunity, we know that far too many inequities and barriers remain in the African-American community and across this country. And we must continue to break down these barriers in our laws, our policies, and our hearts so that we can not only fulfill the full promise of the Civil Rights Act, but perfect the union that our founders created two hundred and thirty-three years ago this week."
