Obama Blows Up: ‘This may bring my presidency down but I will not yield’
U.S. President Barack Obama threw a hissy fit by storming out of debt talks at a White House meeting yesterday — and it’s the talk of Washington this morning.
In his three turbulent years as president, Mr. Obama has shown a propensity for throwing tantrums when he doesn’t get his way. And yesterday was no different.
Negotiations were described as “testy” and “tough” as Mr. Obama butted heads with House Majority Leader Eric Cantor on the fifth straight day of debt talks.
During one tense exchange, Mr. Obama compared himself to beloved former president Ronald Reagan when he asked Cantor “Would Ronald Reagan be sitting here?”
What he meant was, ‘would Ronald Reagan have to sit here and put up with this sh*t? Why should I?’
Mr. Obama added: “I’ve reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this.” The cantankerous president then stood up and stormed out of the meeting, leaving mouths hanging open.

It Gets Worse: Nicki Minaj’s Boyfriend Bashed Her in the Face With Suitcase!
According to TMZ.com:
TMZ has obtained the police report describing the altercation between Nicki Minaj and her assistant, in which she claimed he struck her in the face with a suitcase.
TMZ broke the story … Nicki and her assistant, Safaree Samuels, were arguing at a hotel pool in Dallas Monday night and took it upstairs to the room.
According to the police report, Nicki followed Samuels up to the room they were sharing, to make sure he didn’t take any of her stuff. Nicki was looking into her suitcase in the room, which had some of Samuels’ belongings, when she says he “grabbed the suitcase and as he was picking it up, he shoved the suitcase across [Nicki's] chin and lower lip.”
The police report goes on: “[Nicki's] teeth struck the inside of her lower lip, causing the inside of the lower lip to cut and start to bleed.”
According to the report, a paramedic arrived on scene, but Nicki decided she didn’t want to press charges so the case was closed.
TMZ is reporting that Samuel is her “assistant,” but they’ve been together since high school and they live together on the West Coast. So there you have it.
fanMAIL: Your Morning Glory post…
*A loyal reader writes:
Hi Sandra,
I am currently serving in the U.S. Air Force and I’m annoyed and confused about the “morning glory: Miss Miami Monroe”. She sent an email stating she would like to show women that they can be professional, while attaching pictures of herself shirtless which were very unprofessional and provocative. If she had posted pictures of her in action, on the job, then it would have been a different story, but please don’t disgrace the Air Force’s image with an unfit to fight plus size “model” such as Miss Miami Monroe.
It doesnt matter to me how beautiful or ugly people think she is. What bothers me is that the Air Force is withdrawing personnel so there are thousands of people getting kicked out of the Air Force that would give anything to be in her spot but she is clearly focused on a different career. Miss Monroe, please step aside and let someone else that really appreciates what the Air Force has to offer take your position as a “professional” while you pose half naked on the internet. Since the Air Force is clearly not what you want, don’t use that name to your advantage.
Sandra, I would love for you to share my thought with Miss Monroe

R.Kelly may lose mansion where he urinated on 14-year-old girl
Troubled R&B singer R.Kelly is facing foreclosure on his $2.7 million Chicago mansion, according to Access Atlanta.
A Crain’s Chicago Business publication reports that JPMorgan Chase Bank filed the foreclosure lawsuit last month in Cook County Circuit Court. The complaint states that Kelly hasn’t made monthly mortgage payments since June of last year.
Crain’s reports the Olympia Field home’s appraised value fell 26 percent in a year, to $3.8 million in 2010. The original 1999 loan was for $3.5 million.
Kelly’s spokesman Allan Mayer declined to comment on the foreclosure. But he told the Associated Press that Kelly isn’t having any financial problems.
This might be one of those situations when a rich person walks away from properties that are worth much less than what they owe on it.
Atlanta school kids: “They’re supposed to be helping us, not cheating”
The Atlanta public schools cheating scandal has rocked the community and made headlines around the country. Atlanta’s public school system has consistently ranked at the bottom of national scholastic achievement tests. It’s not that the students are dumb — it’s that their (mostly black) teachers are corrupt and just plain lazy.
I remember the day when a local hospital (which shall not be named) ordered testing for its entire staff of licensed practical nurses (LPNs). The action was taken in response to complaints from patients and RNs.
A shocking number of (mostly black) LPNs failed the tests — and were fired.
Many of them were distraught after working at the hospital for decades. But the hospital is responsible for ensuring that the medical staff is competent and capable of doing their jobs. In national rankings, this particular hospital consistently ranks near the top among its national peers.
The same cannot be said for the Atlanta Public School system.
Students in the Atlanta Public Schools are angry, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. They feel betrayed — cheated, in fact — after learning last week that nearly 180 educators in 44 schools changed students’ answers on standardized tests in order to artificially inflate APS test scores and avoid losing its accreditation.
It was all about greed — “to make sure the money is there,” said Tucker, 18, a student at Carver school of the arts.
“They’re supposed to be helping us, not cheating,” said a student who was among more than a dozen students interviewed by the AJC.
“I think they’re really taking education away from us,” said another student.
Dismembered body of missing 9-year-old Brooklyn boy found
The dismembered body of a 9-year-old Hasidic boy, who went missing from a Brooklyn day camp on Monday, was found stuffed inside a suitcase and thrown in a dumpster, according to the NY Post. Little Leibby Kletsky’s body parts were found discarded in 2 separate locations in Brooklyn, NY on Tuesday.
Acting on tips and credit card receipts, police raided a Kensington home on E. 2nd Street this morning and arrested 35-year-old suspect Levi Aron, who led them to the locations where he discarded Leibby’s body parts. Leibby’s severed feet were found in the man’s freezer.
Leibby was allowed to walk alone from the Boyan Day Camp on 44th street near 12th Avenue to meet his parents who had a doctor’s appointment on 13th Avenue and 50th street on Monday, according to the NY Post. Leibby was last seen leaving the Boyan Day Camp at 4:50 p.m.
Boro Park Shomrim chief Simcha Bernath said the family confirmed the boy walked by himself, but normally he took the bus. The couple even took special pains to repeatedly go over the boy’s walking route with him, a friend said.
Leibby was instructed to walk one block to 13th Avenue and then turn right on 13th Avenue and walk to 50th Street, said a family friend, Rabbi Bernard Freilich.
Leibby was captured on grainy surveillance images from a Locksmith shop on 45th Street and Dahill Road. He had walked up 44th Street as instructed, but instead of turning right on 13th Avenue, he kept going to 45th Street.
