| First Lady Michelle Obama watched every tackle and fumble of this year´s Super Bowl along with the rest of the country, but it was Beyonce´s incendiary performance that she singled out for praise. ´Watching the Super Bowl with family and friends,´ Obama wrote on her Twitter feed. ´Beyonce was phenomenal! I am so proud of her!´ Launching the show with a strong performance of ´Crazy in Love´ complete with a guitar flaming as it played out its solo, Beyonce proved her doubters wrong by singing live one week after the controversy over her lip-synching at the Presidential Inauguration.

Comments: She´s so proud of Beyonce? Why? Is she her secret mother? Her voice coach? Her rip-off-your-clothes expert? Just what is Michelle taking credit for?

She was basically a Michele Jackson with breasts! Where was the originality? The music was simple; she kept repeating the same words over and over again for the most part! And, she was lip syncing at times with her last song. I also think that her show put so much strain on the electrical system that her show is the reason that there was a black out in the second half.

Michelle Obama watched with family and friends - as Beyonce stripped down to a negligee, gyrated like a poll dancer, had crouch busting movement (watch close ups if you dare), screamed to top of her lungs, slung hair back and forth. AND MICHELLE WAS PROUD.

"Proud"? Why would Mrs. Obama be "proud"? That is a completely unusual use of the word.
Unless, perhaps, Mrs. Obama meant that Beyonce´ is a "credit to her race"...

Could someone please point out to me what exactly has Moochelle Obama done on her own in her life, I mean besides voluntarily surrendering her law license to avoid disbarment, or working at a basically no show job at a hospital after her fake husband was elected to public office, that makes her an authority figure whose stamp of public approval of a shimmying, shaking, scantily clad mediocre singer is necessary? Beyonce was about as interesting as watching clothes drying. It was awful garbage designed to appeal to the lowest instincts of our celebrity rotten culture.

Beyonce was beyond tasteless. Vulgar, promiscuous and blatantly flaunting uninhibited sexuality. We thought that her performance would be followed by a PSA from Kathleen Sebelius on how ObamaCare now provides free condoms and abortifacients to sexually active people of all sexual preferences.

It´s funny how the media narrative is that Beyonce was great but if you read the message boards of the internet-based media, the comments about her by ordinary posters are largely negative. This includes the liberal internet news sites.
What you have is a case of the media manufacturing a narrative which then gets repeated along the chain of media outlets. You only need one or two writers to have formed the narrative but it gets amplified along the chain so that is appears as if everybody is thinking along the same lines.
It´s the liberal media narrative trick.

Sick and tired of all these million-dollar payday "acts" getting praise for what I thought was their craft. Geez, Michelle, what are you proud of - the fact that she actually SANG?! That is even suspect. How exactly would it be easier to sing live when you are gyrating all over the stage as opposed to standing still at the inauguration. I think she lip-synched again last night. Truly don´t care about this woman or any of her ghetto connections in the WH.
Same thing with these sports players - they make a touchdown and they act like they cured cancer. Then you have the players, making millions, who can´t catch a pass to save their life. As long as we fill the diversity quotas, I guess that´s OK.

It was a boring show. We´ve seen the same bump and grind routine hundreds of times, the music was repetitive dance club noise. We´ve seen the same light show, the same backup singers, the same strutting, the same yelling audience. I think it´s more interesting to watch the stage being taken off the field after the show. MO´s idiotic tweet is just a cherry on top of the idiocy.

There was one lovely moment at halftime - one that many of us were concerned about for a number of reasons.
The choir of children from Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, sang "America the Beautiful" in their clear, lovely voices. Pure. Then Jennifer Hudson joined them as soloist for a repeat of the first verse. And for most of her solo, the camera remained on the children.
Jennifer Hudson showed so much more class than Beyonce, appearing in a straight white calf-length skirt and black blouse, her hair pulled back. Simple elegance. Her voice is magnificent. She can sing rings around Beyonce.
No tweeting by Mooch about that.

Republican congressional candidate Mark Sanford slammed the 2009 federal stimulus package that went to Clemson University’s wind turbine effort--where Democrat rival Elizabeth Colbert Busch is employed--as bad public policy and a poor return on the taxpayers’ investments. By Sanford’s math and reading of Obama administration stimulus allocation figures, the Wind Turbine Drivetrain Testing Facility received $43 million and “created or saved” an estimated 134 jobs. When divided, the numbers calculate to more than $320,000 per job, Sanford said. Sanford’s comments came during a visit to a Mount Pleasant branch of Lyerly’s Cleaners, where he carried in a load

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

North Korea has loaded two intermediate-range missiles onto mobile launchers and hidden them in an unidentified facility near the east coast, South Korea´s Yonhap news agency has said.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

The report cited United Kingdom diplomats, saying Pyongyang was demanding the U.S. president personally call Kim Jong-un as one of the conditions to relieve the current conflict at hand. Itar-Tass also quoted the U.K.’s Sky News as saying North Korea currently has eight nuclear warheads.

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.

Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth.
