Newsbusters brings us a rather strange clip of NBC‘s Ann Curry engaged in an interview with the Dalai Lama in which she asks the Tibetan guru about President Obama’s “fierce struggle” and…our debt ceiling debate?
In an interview with the Dalai Lama aired on Monday’s NBC Today, co-host Ann Curry bizarrely asked the Tibetan spiritual leader about the debt ceiling fight in Congress: “The President is in a fierce struggle with his political opponents over the future of the nation’s finances. What is the best way, your best advice, in how to find compromise with those you deeply disagree with?”
The Dalai Lama responded by saying both sides “must work together” to come to a deal: “this is economic problem. It is not the interest of this party or that party. It’s a national sort of interest.” Curry noted how, “The Dalai lama says he offered President Obama comfort,” during a weekend meeting at the White House.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 7:04amSorry, just found on Fox News: Only This President would Allow This!
I have to assume this Fox News release is part of Obama’s “radical gay agenda” and he wants the results, on his desk ASAP!!! Sick and twisted. God Help Us! Vote him out in 2012.
The federal government helped fund a study that examined what effect a gay man’s penis size has on his sex life and general well-being.
The study was among several backed by the National Institutes of Health that have come under scrutiny from a group claiming the agency is wasting valuable tax dollars at a time when the country is trying to control its debt. This particular research resulted in a 2009 report titled, “The Association Between Penis Size and Sexual Health Among Men Who Have Sex with Men.”

Go axe the Chinese communists, they have stolen my country like they are stealing yours.As for president Soetoro, he does not confide in me, he only invites me because he’s supposed to do so. He uses me to play hide and seek w/ his Chicom friends. He sneaks me into the WH and hides me going out the back door dressed in the uniform of a WH garbage engineer”.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 5:44amThere is nothing funny about what is happening in America. The enemies within are deliberately destroying FREEDOM! Sadly, too many Americans are sleeping and incapable of believing they are being deceived on a daily basis. Oneday in the near future they will wake-up and it will be too late. The enemies within are achieving THEIR dream. Destroying America and Our Constitution.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 2:44amAnn Curry interviewed the Dalai Lama either before obama became president or at the very beginning of his presidency. She gave him a black baseball hat that had the name obama in silver sequins across the front. He put it on his head. Ann was beaming so proudly at him. It was such a touching moment….
That was all I needed to know about the famed Dalai Lama.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 3:52amHow do we know that his proclaimed economic beliefs aren’t held so that the communist country ruling his homeland oppresses them a little bit less? Since he can‘t affect economic policy one iota in Tibet we can’t be sure that his public statements about economics and politics aren’t just calculated to mollify the communists oppressors.

Just because you have seperate views from the Lama doesn’t give you the right to jump down his throat. Buddhists are some of the kindest people who ever walked this earth.

Posted on July 19, 2011 at 12:53amSo I jump ship in Hong Kong and I make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas.
Report Post »A looper?
A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking. So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
