In Facebook friends, not like it really means anything:
According to the British social-network statistics siteFameCount.com, Gaga is on the verge of becoming the first living person to roll up 10 million Facebook fans. As of press time on Friday (July 2), she surpassed the only other living person on the list who had exceeded her tally: President Obama. Gaga’s fan count reached 9,940,462 to the leader of the free world’s 9,444,942. She also continues to spank Obama in Twitter followers (4,762,938 to 4,422,923) and YouTube subscribers (311,716 to 191,562).
The singer, who never misses a chance to shout out her rabid fanbase of “little monsters,” is also miles ahead of other living celebs on the list when it comes to Facebook followers, including Britney Spears (3.1 million), Ashton Kutcher (3.6 million), Taylor Swift (5.8 million), Selena Gomez (5.2 million) and even Justin Bieber (5.9 million). But she still can’t hold a candle to the King of Pop. Among musical acts, only the late Michael Jackson’s Facebook fans list is more massive than Gaga’s.
The media loves to focus on shit that doesn’t matter. She is an artist, the only thing that really matters is records sold. Source

The First Lady covers Good HouseKeeping. Michelle took the opportunity to give the public an update on her girls: “Our girls are pretty modest types, and they don’t like the attention, the hoopla. They will say things like, “Ugh, Dad, do you have to drive around with the sirens in the car? Do you have to block up all the traffic?” I want to make sure that the girls are doing well, and that they feel like they have the love and attention they deserve from their parents, regardless of what positions we hold.”
In a victory for President Obama, the U.S. House has narrowly passed landmark health care legislation to expand coverage to tens of millions who lack it and place tough new restrictions on the insurance industry. The vote was 220-215.
So Rachel Maddow takes Rep. Aaron Schock to task for his hypocrisy on the spending bill in Washington. What you have is a classic bit of television that you rarely see– A classy exchange where the facts are laid out on the table.
“You, in your district, I just read that you were at a community college touting a $350,000 green technology education program, talking about how great that was going to be for your district,” she said. “You voted against the bill that created that grant. That’s happening a lot with Republicans sort of taking credit for things that Democratic bills do and then Republicans simultaneously touting their votes against them and trashing them. That, I think, is a problem that needs to be resolved within your caucus. Because you seem like a very nice person but that is a very hypocritical stance to take.”
Rachel Maddow is the only journalist out there who is bright enough to hold interviewee’s accountable. She obviously does her homework, is well prepared, and not much gets by her. There is a reason most Republicans by pass her invitations since the scent of hypocrisy precedes them. Rachel’s acumen and performance is one of the best in the business
So Obama sat down with Diane Sawyer to talk about his first year in office:
“I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president,” Obama told Sawyer.
“There’s a tendency in Washington to think that our job description, of elected officials, is to get reelected. That’s not our job description,” Obama said. “Our job description is to solve problems and to help people.”
All I can say; If President Obama does not focus on the economy, he will be a one term President…
