Elena Kagan: Obama's safe yet daring Supreme Court pick
Near the end of Mother's Day, it was announced that Elena Kagan, currently the Solicitor General of The United States under President Barack Obama, and Professor of Harvard Law School (on leave), and Dean of same is now Obama's pick to be Supreme Couty justice, replacing the retiring Justice John Paul Stevens.
Elena Kagan, who would be the third woman on the Supreme Court of The United States if confirmed, and the fourth in history, is also only the second solicitor general to be named to such post after the legendary Justice Thurgood Marshall. Kagan, is a safe pick and yet daring at the same time because Kagan has no bench experience yet is widely regarded as a brilliant legal mind who has argued cases before the Supreme Court.
Kagan is a choice right for this time in Obama's Presidency: in the middle of a hot mid-term election season made all the hotter by economic, ethnic and racial tensions, Obama could not afford another controversy to deal with. Kagan gives her opponents little to attack that would not make them sound sexist or homophobic in the process. Have doubts, let's look at the attacks that have already been issued as evidence.

White House Correspondents Dinner 2010 - Obama bests Leno
The 2010 White House Correspondents Dinner is history. It was the second one for President Barack Obama, and while he wasn't quite as funny as in 2009, he was funnier than Jay Leno. Reportedly, Joe Biden was even funnier than President Obama, but this blogger missed Biden's turn at the podium.
That aside, it's clear Obama enjoys the White House Correspondents Dinner, and comes with some pretty good material. For example there was the joke about Politico and how it has a centuries long history of spinning the news (Politico goes back to 2005.) Or there was the one about how Joe Biden talked him into coming to the dinner, saying "Mr. President. This is a big bleeping deal," in reference to Biden's on-mic F-bomb after the Health Care Reform Bill was passed.
In all Obama was just plain funnier than Jay Leno. It seemed Leno was searching for the one punch line that would get him going, but he remained stuck in the mud.

If Globe and National Inquirer has it then every American has to worry about their president, his presidency and his married life.
It is reported that Natonal Enquirer had been working on the rumors of Vera Baker and Barack Obama relation since 2008. The tabloid has announced through its website that Vera Baker and Barack Obama spent a night in a Washington, DC hotel room.
According to reports, Vera Baker and Barack Obama came closer first time when the political aide was working day and night to raise millions for Obama’s US senate campaign.
Although, the Vera Baker and Barack Obama scandal surfaced in 2008, it did not get much attention in the absence of some evidence. The alleged presence of some security video has changed the scenario and surfacing of any such video (If it exists) would shake not only the American Presidency but President’s family life.
Clintons be ready to get more public attention as you would be quoted by every television channel if Republicans met their wet dream.
