quote:

The White House has two words for those who want President Barack Obama to deport Justin Bieber: No comment.

Nearly 275,000 people signed an Internet petition calling the Canadian-born teen idol reckless and asking Obama to revoke his green card. That's far more than required to merit an official response through the White House's "We the People" program.

The White House says it's sorry to disappoint, but it won't be commenting. It's citing a caveat that lets the White House decline to address certain petitions.
White House won't comment on Justin Bieber petition


He has screwed just about everything else up beyond recognition, the least he could do is deport Bieber.

Good.

Always glad to see dignity blossom along the Potomac, especially now that the cherry trees are done for the season.

"We interrupt this coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the Iranian nuclear test for breaking Bieber developments from the White House. We will now spend 45 minutes showing the podium, while the President's teleprompter is repaired."

Walk down the street and do a survey. See how many can tell you who he is.

I'll put money on fewer than half.

Which is still far more than enough to change the subject, Muse. C'mon - this is exactly the kind of stuff you decry when you don't want to talk about blatant partisan bias in the media. At least try to be consistent.

If you did watch what passes for news, you'd be amazed at home much coverages gets devoted to the reality shows of the various networks, and celebrity nonsense the majority cares nothing about

We had a reason to watch the local Fox news at 10 this week, because they were covering a story the wife had been directly involved in. It should have been the nice little feelgood report to end the broadcast on, but they teased it through the show, gave it a shade over 2 minutes, then went right into extended coverage of that night's American Idol to finish out the hour.

How many people really give a shit that Chelsea Clinton is pregnant, but there it is, sucking up space that could go to those Lerner emails, the latest bombings in Syria, Ebola crossing borders in West Africa, or GM pulling a Pinto.

Goal posts. Keep them still, you can push stuff through them.

Personally, I think we should exile every elected official in the senate and congress, as well as Obama, and put heretic and muse in charge.

With Lucy as the mediator.

I wish he'd comment on this. I really do.

Here's what I'd want President Obama to say: "We have an immigration policy in place that is used to determine who is deported and who isn't. This policy will be followed with regards to Justin Bieber, as it is to every other immigrant."

That's probably more attention to this petition than it's worth, but at least the White House is making good on it's assertion that it would comment on petitions that gain enough signatures.
