Losing all respect from the people living in this world as you also lost their trust is the end of the road for a man who once told everyone that he was a new start with a motto of "Yes we can."
Speaking to a cordon off crown from the rest of
Berlin Germany in front of the Brandenburg gates. Barack Obama tried to
put on the self same superstar show that he did once before in 2008.
Except this time his road show fell flat beneath the feet of the grown
men and women who knew better this next time listening to his soaring
words of a Obama speech.
The school children that was placed as a background for Obama speech don't know what they don't know. So that make them the right sucker to keep clapping for the words Obama mouthed in the TV microphones. This time the greater audience in and around the world know better because they do know how to register the propaganda from another age, into the present sounds coming from Obama mouth in this age.
The rest of our world does see Barack Obama better this time. He keep putting on the same TV show but behind and in front of the cameras the people are simply not listening any longer, like they once did.

Matthews: Berlin Sun ‘Ruined’ Obama’s Speech
By Andrew Johnson
MSNBC host and Obama sycophant Chris Matthews blamed the sun for spoiling the president’s speech in Berlin today.
“I think a lot of the problem he had today was the late afternoon sun in Berlin ruined his use of the teleprompter and so his usual dramatic windup was ruined,” Matthews said immediately after the speech. “I think he was really struggling with the text there.”
Speaking behind a glass bulletproof shield, Obama appeared to be using the text of the speech rather than reading off of teleprompters.

The “PBS NewsHour” is laying off staff in a significant reorganization, TVNewser has learned.
According to an internal memo obtained by TVNewser, MacNeil/Lehrer Productions–which produces the “NewsHour”–will be shutting down its offices in Denver and San Francisco, eliminating nearly all the positions there. The company will also eliminate several production positions in its Washington DC office, while leaving two open senior-level roles unfilled.The “NewsHour” is also planning to save money by streamlining and digitizing its technical process.
“This difficult step comes after more than a year spent reviewing how the ‘NewsHour’ functions, and determining the streamlining necessary to address both the funding challenges (primarily a steady drop in corporate revenue) and the opportunities presented by new technologies,” wrote “NewsHour” EP Linda Winslow and MacNeil/Lehrer president Bo Jones in the memo to staff.
The changes will go into effect at the start of the new fiscal year, July 1. None of the affected staffers were named in the email, but TVNewser hears that one of those departing is San Francisco correspondent Spencer Michels, who started reporting for the program 30 years ago.
While the program will still maintain in-house crews, the “NewsHour” will rely more on freelance contributions going forward.
“Along with sending our own teams in the field, we anticipate building new relationships with a variety of locally-based freelance video journalists around the country,” Winslow wrote to staff. “Under no circumstances do we intend to abandon the mini-documentary reports that have become so critical to our broadcast. The NewsHour remains committed to delivering the same kind of in-depth reporting our viewers and supporters expect from us.”
The “NewsHour” has undergone a number of changes over the last few years, with anchor Jim Lehrer stepping down from daily anchor duties in 2011. While Lehrer still appears with some regularity, the program is anchored by a rotating crew of anchors, including Judy Woodruff, Gwen Ifill, Margaret Warner, Ray Suarez, Hari Sreenivasan and Jeffrey Brown.
The program launched in 1975 as “The MacNeil/Lehrer Report,” eventually becoming “The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour” in 1983, “The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer” in 1995 and the “PBS NewsHour” in 2009.

CNN’s new morning show “New Day” debuted Monday to 247,000 total viewers and 95,000 adults 25-54 from 6-9 AM, according to Nielsen. That put it 3rd in cable news in total viewers, and 4th in the demo.
For comparison, FNC’s “Fox & Friends,” which had special guest-host Sarah Palin, averaged 1.06 million total viewers and 262,000 A25-54, while MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” averaged 355,000 total viewers and 132,000 A25-54. HLN’s “Morning Express” averaged 215,000 total viewers and 121,000 A25-54.
The numbers for “New Day” are down double digits in the demo from the same day last year and from CNN’s 2013 average in that timeslot, though they were up compared to the same week average last year. “New Day” was down in total viewers but up(+19%) in the demo compared to Monday of last week (FNC and MSNBC were both down in the demo).
FNC’s effort to counter-program with Palin likely didn’t help CNN’s cause either, although “F&F” was actually down from last Monday, when it was Palin-less.

Blog debate: Texas A&M owns Alabama?
June, 18, 2013
By ESPN.com staff | ESPN.com
We're in the dog days of the offseason, where every little comment or
development gets overanalyzed or takes on a life of its own. So why not
overanalyze some comments Texas A&M athletic director Eric Hyman
made in jest Thursday at the Brazos County A&M Club Coach's Night,
an alumni event? He made a joke that went like this, according to the
San Antonio Express-News: “What do the moon and Texas A&M have in
common? They both control the Tide.”
The TideNation's Alex Scarborough and GigEmNation's Sam Khan discuss it here.

Well!
Getting what you want, like becoming the very best college football
team in all the land, is depending on more then just wishing it so.
Speaking in a high spirited smack down way is nothing but talk.
What really does work playing against the very best college football players in America takes some doing. That is the reality of playing a football game against Alabama. That the A&M football fans are taunting Alabama anyway in spite of how good the tide plays a football game, make me think that they ( Texas A&M ) are really suicidal instead...Maybe they should just keep kissing the girls after a touchdown before they play Alabama, because their love life is going to be shot to hell and back when the tide comes to play football on each and every play because of what the A&M fans said....http://www.youtube.

I
will never understand the mind set of owning a team, it just doesn't
work that way. A&M played a great game last year against Bama, I
have to give them credit for a great game, they may win again this
season but they or anyone will ever own Bama.
ESPN
trying to breath hope into the rest of college football. It is pretty
much the consensus that the only team that beats Alabama is Alabama!

Something
is wrong with the people cheering for the Texas A&M college
football team these day, why are they talking like that, quote: “What do
the moon and Texas A&M have in common? They both control the Tide.”
Manziel football future looks like its in peril to me now. Why would the Texas A&M fans want to inspire the Alabama football players to run even harder and faster they they already do?

Cuz the game is played on the field, not in the papers.
And they're going to need to run harder and faster than they did last year.

Coaches talk anonymously about SEC West teams
Published June 19, 2013 - 8:58am
NEW: Discuss this topic in the Google+ community for SEC fans.
Other coaching talk:
One of my favorite sections of Athlon’s preseason magazines is the ‘Coaches Sizing Up Opposing Teams’ section.
Athlon asked current coaches to talk anonymously about their opponents, and it’s always interesting to get opposing coaches’ impressions off the record, especially when it’s not bland ‘coach speak’.
Here are some excerpts as to what coaches thought about their opponents in the SEC West:

Here are some excerpts as to what coaches thought about their opponents in the SEC West:
Alabama
“They’ll be really good again, don’t worry. They lost a lot of guys on the defensive line. Last year wasn’t their best defensive line, and they might not have been quick enough to handle fast quarterbacks who could turn broken plays into big gains like Johnny Manziel. On offensive, they can be better than last year. Obviously a lot depends on how well the defensive develops. Linebackers and secondary, they’ll be fine. CJ Mosley is probably the best linebacker in the country…They really didn’t’ have an answer for Manziel last season. They could stand to get quicker up front.”
Arkansas
“They are going to be terrible. What they are doing now, it’s the product of bad recruiting. They have a long ways to go. That’s nothing against the new coaching staff. But they are going to be terrible in Year 1. I think they’ll struggle up front, they’ll struggle in the secondary, the linebackers should be average. It’s going to take them three years to get a good foundation. It’s a product of bad recruiting – which is typical of Bobby Petrino. It’s the same thing that happened at Louisville that got Steve Kragthorpe fired. Petrino didn’t leave him any players. It’s the same thing at Arkansas. They have no players on defense…I think the young running back, Jonathan Williams, is going to be good for them.”
Auburn
“Auburn’s biggest problem was trying to be a pro-style offense with spread-type personel. I’m not sure what is going to happen at that position [quarterback] with Gus Malzahn taking over. Malzahn has an outstanding reputation. It is a little different when you are the head coach than just he offensive coordinator, but he knows what he’s doing. The tackling is suspect. The defensive wasn’t overly physical. It’s a really athletic team. They were really young, so there wasn’t much consistency there.”
LSU
“[Defensive coordinator] John Chavis, he’s done the same stuff schematically for what feels like forever. It’s not very difficult. They do a lot of two-man, a lot Tampa 2. That’s one thing that he’s just not going to change. I don’t think they will be the same up front at all. They lost a lot of players. In my opinion, there’s a slow, steady decline of that program. Athletically, they can reload up front. But developing fundamentally sound players, that takes time, time they might not have this year. So, I’m not sure they can recover that quickly. Zach Mettenberger, to me, is very average. With Cam Cameron coming in as the offensive coordinator, it will be a different offense. It’s probably going to open up things a lot more, and Mettenberger will probably be a better fit with doing that.”
Mississippi State
“I’m thinking they [defense] are pretty good, or at least a lot better. On defense, they just aren’t as athletic as the top teams. Our defensive big guys were bigger than some of their offensive big guys. They can get pounded up front. Linebackers are average athletically. I think schematically they are always going to put up some points. It all depends on whether they can put up a defense that can stop people. It’s not effort, they just don’t have the guns…The quarterback, Tyler Russell, I think most people like him – he can be a little erratic but has some natural ability. He didn’t play very well against some of the better teams team sin the league. But he’s a good player.”
Ole Miss
“They have a lot of tricks up their sleeve. They always get guys open. They put you in tough situations. They do so many different things. They have a good plan…They have to be a little concerned about Bo Wallace’s shoulder surgery. James Franklin at Missouri had the same thing, and he wasn’t at full strength at the beginning of last season. He [Wallace] needs to eliminate turnovers. You shouldn’t have a freshman offensive lineman come in and play early unless he’s a complete freak. The Laremy Tunsil kid, he’s a complete freak. He will find a way to get on the field this season.”
Texas A&M
“I think offensively they are still going to be really, really good. I actually think they are going to be the team to beat in the West, just because of who they have coming back overall, what they do schematically, how fast their offensive goes…Mark Snyder is a good defensive coordinator. Still, they almost beat Florida. I don’t really know why LSU was so hard for them. You’re really limited what you can do against A&M’s offensive line. They only run about eight plays or so. It’s just so fast. Where Johnny Manziel is really good – and how he got us – he gets you is the same way Cam Newton did. Once you’ve got everyone covered, if you don’t account for the quarterback, he’s going to run for a first down.”Photo Credit: Nelson Chenault-US PRESSWIRE

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
Well, it wasn’t the ending we were hoping for, but I sure am proud of our LSU baseball team and the remarkable season they had, despite the 4-2 heartbreaking loss in yesterday’s CWS elimination game. Before getting to the stats and game commentary, I’d like to congratulate the LSU baseball team and coaching staff for everything they accomplished this season, and thank them for the manner in which they represented the university, the state of Louisiana, and the entire Tiger Nation.
After a disappointing loss like yesterday’s, it’s easy to lose sight of all the great accomplishments that put the Tigers in the position they were in. The Tigers ended the season with a 57-11 record, tying LSU and SEC records for the most wins in a single season, while earning an SEC West championship, an SEC Tournament championship, an NCAA regional title and an NCAA super regional crown. That’s nothing to sneeze at, folks. And to those of you who are thing, “Yeah, but they didn't win the big ones when it mattered most,” just remember that it took the legendary Tiger Coach Skip Bertman five trips to Omaha to win his first title. As Bertman said back in the day, “Great teams go to Omaha and don't always win. That's baseball.” I hope you will remember that as you hold your heads up high and wear your purple and gold with pride.
Now for a few brief stats and comments: LSU collected 10 hits in the game, compared to 11 for UNC, but the big difference was that LSU left 13 men on base, including leaving the bases loaded on two occasions.
The Tigers just couldn’t come through with timely hits when it counted most, and it’s hard to win a game that way. I felt especially bad for senior Raph Rhymes, who is a remarkable young man and a great Tiger, as he went 0-for-5 and left eight runners on base in his last collegiate game, and for Freshman All-American Alex Bregman who continued his CWS slump by going 0-for-4.
It’s also hard to win in this day and age, and especially in a ballpark like TD Ameritrade, without doing a better job of playing strategic small ball. I would have liked to have seen LSU better utilize the sacrifice bunt on a few occasions to advance runners and avoid double plays, as their CWS opponents did. On a related note, I believe that today’s toned down bats and relatively soft balls, especially when combined with a ballpark like Ameritrade Stadium, do a disservice to power-hitting teams like LSU, and I hope a change will be made in the near future.
Three Tigers who deserve recognition for their contribution at the plate yesterday are freshman Mark Laird who went 3-for-5, junior designated hitter Sean McMullen who went 2-for-4 and scored both Tiger runs, and senior Mason Katz who went 2-for-2 with one RBI. In his final game as a Tiger, Katz reached base in all five at-bats. (And if you missed the heartfelt message that Katz tweeted to the Tiger Nation yesterday, I encourage you to take a moment to check it out.)
Coach Mainieri made a strategic decision to start sophomore left-hander Cody Glenn against a predominately left-handed UNC lineup, and I think it was the right call. Unfortunately, Glenn didn’t have his best outing. After striking out the first batter on only three pitches, I felt really good about having Glenn on the mound, but then he hung one up in the zone to UNC’s junior catcher Brian Holberton who launched a two-run homer that seemed to take the wind out of Glenn’s sails. Glenn ended up allowing a total of three runs on five hits in two innings, while walking one, hitting one, and striking out one. Brent Bonvillain and Chris Cotton did a fine job in relief allowing only one run on six hits in a combined seven innings.
In tomorrow’s report, we’ll take a brief look at a few stats from this season, and look ahead to next year’s LSU baseball team. I can tell you now that the future looks very bright.
Now that the 2013 baseball season is over, Tiger fans can turn their attention to the upcoming football season that will start in 73 days against TCU in Cowboys Stadium. To help you get in the football mood, let's resume our jersey countdown by looking at a couple of former Tigers that wore the number 73 - Will Arnold and John Sage.
Will Arnold wore No. 73 as an offensive guard at LSU and was a member of both the 2003 and 2007 national championship squads. After redshirting in 2003, Arnold made first team Freshman All-American in 2004, and second team All-SEC in 2005 and 2006. In 2007, Arnold missed most of his senior seasons with injuries, but was inserted for the final three snaps of LSU’s win over Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game. According to one of my readers, Arnold is currently a Safety Supervisor for Turner at Exxon in Baton Rouge.
John Sage was a defensive tackle for LSU from 1968-70 and made first team All-SEC in 1970. What makes Sage’s story interesting is not his accomplishments on the field, but rather what transpired after his playing days as a Tiger. I learned of his story by reading this article on texansworkingtogether.org, and shared it with you last year. It’s about Sage overcoming personal tragedy and the murder of his close sister, and then going on to found a faith-based non-profit prison ministry that brings crime victims into prisons across Texas to meet with inmates.
