Bob Schieffer Says Donald Trump Is Racist For Wanting To See Obama's Grades
CBS's Bob Schieffer said Wednesday that Donald Trump is racist because he wants to see Barack Obama's college grades.
Such was told to Katie Couric on the "Evening News" (video follows with partial transcript and commentary):
BOB SCHIEFFER: I want to go on to what, to what Donald Trump said after he said this is out and everything. He said, "We need to at [Obama's] grades and see if he was a good enough student to get into Harvard Law School." That's just code for saying he got into law school because he was black.
This is a ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing. We can hope that that kind of comes to an end, too, but we'll have to see.
To be sure, this is the kind of idiocy one expects from the shills on MSNBC, but the host of "Face the Nation" should know better than to get into the gutter this way.
PBS's Tavis Smiley said Tuesday that the upcoming presidential race is going to be the most racist in history.
This is a perfect example of just how right Smiley was because everything any opponent of Obama's says in the next eighteen-plus months will be deemed by some media member as racist.
As David Byrne said many decades ago, same as it ever was.

Yea Cent Uygr did the same thing. Said Trump questioning Obama's Harvard entry was just flat out code for "my friends are white, he's black, no way he got into Harvard." These people have no shame. They're still wetting themselves with the fact that they have a liberal president who is black so they can constantly use race as their "argument."

On another note, as long as Affirmative Action exists and colleges are front and center of it, isn't the question always there by default?
Oh wait, just my asking that must be racist. What a sad state of affairs we live in.
"Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech," so Progressives just push society to do it in the court of public opinion and infiltrate every organization in America in order to keep conversations from taking place. Bring it up at work, you're fired. No, Congress shall make no law. They don't have to. Constitution legally bypassed.

The strategy
Submitted by MadRat on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 12:55am.
It's a simple enough strategy: Convince the minorities that white people are out to get them and that only Democrats can save them, then get more minorities out to the polls than white people. Since it failed spectacularly in the last election, how do you think it will go this time? Minorities are asking themselves, "Under Obama are we: better educated, have fewer teen pregnancies, more jobs, more political power, less drug and alcohol use? No. So why am I supporting Democrats when they don't represent my views and I'm getting nothing from them anyway?"

Trump said Occidental connections say he was poor at Occidental, that connections at Columbia said he did poorly there as well. And so, he raises a logical question, how did he get to Columbia if he did poorly in school and then ask the same about his going to Harvard.
If these are our finest schools (whatever that means at this point), how was he able to attend them and further to graduate from them? Can anyone honestly say their not curious about that?
And please, I don't need to hear again about the many more important things that need be addressed. Consider in two years our potus has hit the links over 90 times, saying no time for this is not valid.

Schieffer and the rest of these limo-libs in the MSM are racists. They don't hold all people to the same standards because they think whites are superior and everyone else needs "help". They all need to be condescended to by superior folks like Schieffer and Chris Matthews to make it all "fair". That attitude reeks.
It's OK to insinuate that W only got into good schools and enjoyed other privileges because of his family name. It's OK to bust on him for some mediocre grades. But it's unacceptable to even ask about Obama's grades? Why? Because Bob Schieffer judges people by skin color and can't hide his racism no matter how much he overcompensates for it.

Submitted by Slyrr on Wed, 04/27/2011 - 9:58pm.
This is getting ridiculous. 'You can't question Obama's lousy policies - he's a black man!'
If THAT is the best defense the vaunted 'intellectual' left can come up with to for their failed President, then their case is even more dire than they could possibly have imagined. As has been rightly observed, they have fallen into the 'little boy who cried wolf' trap so completely that if they could breathe through the tops of their heads they'd STILL be in trouble.
The 'racist' boogeyman has become their answer to everything and its becoming tiresome, specious and boring.
Did Obama play basketball? That's racist.
Did Obama have some watermelon and 'frahd chikkin'? That's racist.
Did Obama squander TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars on socialist policies that he was told in advance would fail miserably? That's racist too.
Did the wind change direction somewhere on Earth today? Oh, you KNOW that was racist!
Did someone declare they were running against Obama in 2012? They're just racists.
Do the people think we should drill for oil? Racism.
Liberals are so steeped in their hate and their despair that they see racists everywhere. They see racists in potato chips. They see racists in black people. They see racists in their sleep.
They've become the kind of people who would balk at buying white corn tortillas because they would be afraid of 'favoring white'. They have become the kind of people who, when in the store buying clothes, might overhear someone saying 'I like this coat, but I don't like the black one - do you have one in blue?' And they would storm over to that person, shaking their fist and screaming at them and saying they were 'prejudiced against black'.
It would be sad and pathetic if by doing this they weren't deliberately driving the country towards violence and mayhem.

Submitted by krendler on Wed, 04/27/2011 - 10:19pm.
Bill Clinton was also thrown under the bus as a racist by the media and other liberals during the 08 campaign for criticizing The One. His remarks concerning Obama's lack of experience were immediately deemed "racist" by the likes of Donna Brazile and others. The Obama campaign subsequently used this race card (quoting Brazile) in memos distributed to supporters.
Remember how far Bill Clinton had fallen out of favor with the media back then? They were making remarks like "What ever happened to the Bill Clinton we used to know?"
That just shows how utterly low the bar has been set by these race-baiters. Any time they try it, the accused should simply remind the accuser that the same bogus charges were hurled at not only Bill Clinton, but also Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Farraro as well. They do it - repeatedly - at the drop of a hat.

It is similar to the 2004 election where the media portrayed Kerry as the "intellectual," but when his GPA leaked post-election the nation learned W had the higher GPA--at the same university.

Submitted by Chris Norman on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 2:26am.
I don't know the reason why Trump wants to see Obama's grades. As for me, I wouldn't normally care, but for the fact that there has been a history and a pattern of obfuscation around the past of this man - an almost unknown who suddenly burst on the scene without any of the normal career -long media scrutiny other candidates have undergone - to one degree or another - less for Democrats, more for Republicans. His organization could have, at any point, cleared up all these questions by simply releasing records and documents, no matter what the motivations are of his doubters, but, instead, they have dodged and parried. So, a guy like me, who would never have given a rat's hiney about all of this, has become somewhat curious - not about Obama's past per se, but why this reluctance on his part to reveal it in document form.
Having said this, I don't really want our side to give any ammo for the MSNBCs of the world to use against us. All I want is to see Obama defeated in 2012 and out of our lives before he can do much more damage to the country.

1. Your initial post was an insult claiming I am off my meds. Defamatory posts are a violation of the terms. Your privilege to do so on NewsBusters ® is contingent upon your ability to refrain from using any defamatory, libelous or abusive language on the NewsBusters ® blog. Why is it you open your responses to me with an insult and only after I respond do you start talking about terms of use? Now, I am officially requesting YOU stop insulting me and then claiming terms of use when I respond.
2. You utterly failed to respond to Willis_Leon_Johnson when he posted off topic with nothing but vituperative insults and I was fully within the terms of use - Yeah. Not going to get into an insult party with you. Both matthewdean and I were polite but insistent Here Here Here Here Here . The response in every single instance, off topic insults. Where were you then dscott? Where were you and your quoting the terms of use document for the last 3 days?
3. dscott: I am asking you politely to stop. No. No you did not. You insulted me. That is called needling, taunting, a dig. It is designed to elicit an emotional response. You got your emotional response. Now you claim Terms of Use.
4. You were not the slightest bit polite in your initial post. It was an out and out dig designed to start a flame war.
5. dscott: If you want to discuss your views... Why are you directing that to me? I don't even know that paragraph had anything to do with what was said anywhere on this page. Here is what I want. --
a. dscott to stop insulting me and then claiming terms of use.
b. Willis_Long_Name to stop insulting me.
c. Willis_Long_Name to knock it off with the insane conspiracy talk that he absolutely will not stop repeating here.
d. Willis_Long_Name stop using the Constitution to beat other women posters.
e. Willis_Long_Name to respond when I issue clear evidence his theory of the day is wrong. Or at least stop running away to again repeat the same silly now debunked theory as though it was not debunked.
f. dscott would step in and start with the politely talk when others go off topic with insults after I present evidence they are wrong.

"That's just code for saying he got into law school because he was black."
Hey Scheiffer - WAKE UP - it's not "code" it's reality. He got into Harvard for one and only one reason - the late African American New York City political leader Percy Sutton was contacted by one of Obama's advisors to use his connections and leverage to get Obama into Harvard Law School.
Sutton admitted it many times.
And that is how he was able to transfer from Occidental to Columbia.
Obama never had the college grades to get even remotely close to a normal Harvard Law School admission. One of my attorneys is a Harvard Law School graduate and he had a tough time getting in even graduating magna cum laude from undergraduate.
Everything about Obama is superficial - particularly this facade of intellectual capability his handlers set up or him.
Look, I don't care if a Presidential candidate graduated college with 4.0 or a 2.0 - just be honest about it - because it is more important what a candidate has done since college than during college.

Schieffer's shame
Submitted by Boil It Down on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 12:11am.
Yes Bob, there is an "ugly strain of racism" and it is alive in the MSM, with you as one of it's major proponents You have taken the podium of Face The Nation and painted "dishonest race baiters" on it. From that lofty position, you have branded your Party and the left wing the same way. Are you proud of that?
There is absolutely no excuse for Schieffer's shameless race baiting. Aside from being counter to journalistic integrity, it is bearing false witness. Is this old leftist really that anxious to divide up the country and cause needless unrest by fallaciously painting all of Obama's opponents as racist? Schieffer has thrown away any respect that might have been due him for his many years of service. Even looking at only the last year, Schieffer has put his reputation on the line an squandered any integrity he may have had.
We have an inept President with deliberately hidden history and any one looking into why he is so inept and clandestine is called racist by an increasingly partisan and racist media. Only a complete lack of conscience could allow them to live with themselves.
Hopefully, future generations will look back on present the day MSM as precisely what not to do and be written about with stern disdain. Does Schieffer really want to be a chapter in that future history? -bidn-

I really don't care if Trump is a Democrat or a Republican; As long as he kept thinking that pressing President Obama on his birth certificate was a brilliant political move, the more he made himself look like a stupid bastard. There's nothing new in doing that. All it shows is how few ideas Trump has at all. And the few good ideas he had about turning the economy around, well, he wasn't pursuing them anymore. All it was was birth certificate this and school grades that. That's why many people in general, regardless of political affiliation, don't give a rat's patootie about Donald Trump. He can be more liberal than George Soros for all I care, and I still think he would be nothing more than a silly little bastard from a basket without any ideas whatsoever.

I cringe every time a Schieffer, O'Donnell, Mr. and Mrs. Cokie Roberts, and other various and assorted enlightened, judgmental libs instinctively reach for the race card to triumphantly fling in the faces of their moral lessers. It reeks of self-elevating sanctimony, cultural elitism, and sneering arrogance [and stunning ignorance].
Not to mention it is politically stupid, inevitably divisive and factually preposterous.
Does Schieffer really think for one second that his grand finger-wagging l'accuse` will evoke a single head-bowed admission of "y'know, Bob, you are absolutely right. I AM a racist. Thank you sir for exposing my sinful ways and showing me the light. I will henceforth vote only for Democrats."

Of the many subjects and nuances in which we disagree, on this one point we certainly do agree, the race card as played by Schieffer serves no useful purpose when it comes to convincing people to have a different opinion.
Condescending attitudes are not well received and quite frankly what liberals of the MSM and Democrats have failed to realize is this will be their undoing. The arrogance expressed by Schieffer and Obama via their obstinate behavior only serves to divide them from the public. The fact they don't recognize it is only too good for the GOP. This makes the campaign now about character and so far Obama is greatly lacking in that department. Both of them are going to have to eat a lot of humble pie to over come the minus 10 on the appearance of impropriety scale they diligently earned over the past 3 years.

I was concerned that he would hurt the Republican brand with independents. But after watching the absolutely glorious effect Trump's questioning of Barack Obama's citizenship has had on lefty news commentators, as well as Obama, I applaud Donald Trump. Watching Tingles Matthews or CNN's John King appear agitated, angered and confused when discussing Trump is a sight to behold. Moreover Trump forced Obama to produce a birth certificate, a document that not even the Clintons could do.
And Obama had to spend time in a press conference today telling everyone that "We do not have time for this silliness," before he went on Oprah's show. You've got to love the turmoil Trump has created for Obama and the Dems.
Who, in the prospective list of Republican candidates, comes close to Trump for straight talk, and the audacity to put the liberal media in its place? For example, take the interview that Trump had today with CNN's John King. Here is an excerpt from that interview:
KING: Let's get --
TRUMP: And it's really a shame.
TRUMP: Excuse me, John. And I'm really happy that we can finally get on to that subject, because that's my strength, jobs, the economy, getting OPEC to behave. We have all the power. Getting OPEC to behave. They don't respect our leadership.
KING: But you raised this, saying the president should release --
TRUMP: No, no, you raised this --
TRUMP: Excuse me --
KING: No, I did not raise this --
TRUMP: You raised this, John.
KING: I didn't call a press conference in Palm Beach earlier this week --
TRUMP: Excuse me, you raised this --
KING: I haven't been on --
TRUMP: And every time I sit down with the press, all they want to talk about is the birth certificate. And I got him to do something that nobody else could get him to do.
KING: And you --
TRUMP: And I've been given great credit for that.
Trump will eventually drop out. I don't believe he wants to reveal the size of his wealth (or lack of). Meantime, Trump is making the lefty media squirm, and I'm enjoying it thoroughly.

our President, Barack Hussein Obama, is nothing like Trump. President Obama would never side-step a question or lie, or even handle the truth recklessly. I'm certain you would agree with me that Barack Hussein Obama, unlike Trump, is the most transparent, straight forward, honest , results-oriented and successful President this country has ever had.
I'm also certain you agree with me that Trump couldn't hold a candle to Barack Obama. For example, where Trump has created thousands of jobs in his career, Barack Obama has created millions and millions, perhaps billions, of jobs. The current unemployment rate, if I'm not mistaken, is lower than it was during the Great Depression. Where Trump has made millions for himself in business, Obama has made billions, albeit for his buddies in the unions and tax-free corporations such as General Electric. But that doesn't matter. Forget I even mentioned it.
When it comes to vanity and ego, Trump constantly uses the first-person, singular personal pronoun "I", Barack Obama, as you know, rarely, if ever, uses the "I" word. Trump is boastful and self centered, while our great President, Barack Obama, is self-effacing and modest.
When it comes to debt, Barack Obama has no equal. Obama assumed a Presidency where the country was in shambles thanks to the gluttonous economic policies and spending of that evil Bush. In only two years, President Obama ensured that our debt wouldn't have to be resolved for many years to come. That is, not in our lifetime, but rather in the lifetime of our grandchildren and great grandchildren.
I know we, you and I, are in complete agreement that for all these accomplishments and success, Barack Obama deserves FOUR MORE YEARS.

1. Right now, it appears Trump is the leading candidate to be facing off against Trump in the next election, although that is likely to change.
2. You are an avowed liberal, who likely prefers the current president to Trump in every way, and you took the time to comment about Trump, actually calling him a name or two in the process
3. The poster evaluated your liberal tendencies and your love of Obama and then read your criticism of Trump, determined that there are many similarities between them, and felt compelled to point these out to you. In fact, it was well demonstrated that B.O. not only exhibits similar tendencies, but is actually much worse than Trump in many of them.
It was and is a valid comparison.

Not to be nitpicky there bal but you just offered a false dichotomy. There are other choices besides Trump and Obama, IMO, both of whom are NOT serious or viable candidates. Obama is caricature as much as Trump is.
Even with two years of warming the chair in the oval office, Obama is unfit as an executive, he has literally learned NOTHING. He even ADMITTED he learned nothing as he answered that question about if he made any mistakes and said he made NONE. You can't correct or do differently what you don't acknowledge as being poor judgment. And thus Barack Obama indirectly admitted there was literally NOTHING he would have done differently in managing the government's handling of the BP Gulf Oil Spill. Even you bal would agree that the government handling of the spill was a fiasco.
So the real question is: IF you, bal, had a choice of candidates, who would it be?

Trump is an egomaniac, and Obama is even worse. Difference is that what Trump does affects my life in no way. (Except if he decides to do away with the $69 room special at Trump Plaza Casino.)

"Trump is a buffoon and his line of attacks unfortunately do have a ting of racism."
There is only racism in his attacks if you want it to be there. Its kinda sorta like the Supreme Court finding a women's right to privacy "Implied" in the Constitution. They wanted it to be there so they decided it was implied. You want Trump to be a racist because you don't like him so you believe his statements imply racism. Your statement smacks of leftist "Trollism"!

Racism or Creative Avoidance
Submitted by Less1leg on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 4:00am.
Why is it that if you question anything from the other side of the isle concerning President Obama you always, and I say always get it slammed into your face that you are racist. Cannot the man's politics be questioned? Can't a conservative voter have questions about Obama's administration and how they sell government out to the people. Is the office of this man so unsure of itself that it can't deal with the regular questioning that all other previous Presidents got from the hands of the Press. It is rather odd that the progressive liberal Press put up all these racist claims, yet the same did not hold when other Presidents were in office. Especially George W. Bush. Say what you will, but the man was on the job every day. His administration was under just as much, or if not more stress than Obama. But he GWB, didn't take off playing basketball, or shooting how many and counting rounds of golf. I think I heard GWB golfed what 8 times in five years as President. And Obama does that per week. Yet the liberal media vilified GWB and praise Obama. Go figure.
The Man Obama is everything but "straight up honest or honorable". His handlers may be to blame, but the essence of what makes Obama is like picking up mercury. You just can't do it. You can't trust his birth certificate. Because we all knew in high school the kid who could fake us a birth certificate. His school application. Again, with affirmative action working for you. His school records are locked up. Something other Presidents didn't get the luxury to see happen. But the MSM loved digging up dirt on GWB. But Obama, hell we all know now he never left his dorm room or went out on a panty run in college. Not B. Obama. He was a saint.

Can't have it both ways, Schieffer
Submitted by Stop2think on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 7:44am.
Affirmative Action is defended by liberals on the assumption that all minorities come from a disadvantaged background and need lower admission standards, test scores, and quotas to get into institutions of higher education. We were forced fed this crap for a generation or more. Now when someone questions the grades of a president (who happens to be black), we are told they are racist for doing so because they (the questioners) are assuming Obama did not have the grades to get into Harvard Law on his own. Umm, sorry Bob, but isn't that the hallmark feature of AA as you see it? Don't you and your ilk believe minorities cannot make their way in the world without a handout from the white man? By definition, you believe all minorities are applying to colleges with grades that are lower than whites. Otherwise, there is no justification for AA programs. Who exactly is racist here? Shouldn't Schieffer and other liberals be hopeful that Obama did indeed have poor grades so they can say with a straight face that without AA Obama would never have gotten into a college that 95% of whites could never get into and without AA he probably never would have been elected president? What a load. BTW, remember how liberal commentators were outraged when Justice Thomas ruled against cases involving AA programs? The mantra then was , "How could Thomas impugn the very programs (AA) that got him into law school?" Doesn't that mentality assume Thomas could not have made it into law school without AA? If liberals weren't so destructive and dangerous with their policies, they'd be real knee slappers.

This is getting ridiculous. 'You can't question Obama's lousy policies - he's a black man!'
And there lays the real problem. I don't care about the color, it's his Jimmy Carter outlook.

What makes the request racist?
Submitted by CobraMan on Thu, 04/28/2011 - 3:33pm.
I don't understand what's "racist" about the request? It's the same request that was made of Bush, and no one ever claimed that request was "racist." There were many who claimed that Bush received preferential treatment in his college admittances, but isn't that the same as Affirmative Action? Well, if preferential treatment in college admittance was a valid concern when Bush was President...
As CNN pondered in 2003: "If our President had the slightest sense of irony, he might have paused to ask himself, "Wait a minute. How did I get into Yale?" It wasn't because of any academic achievement: his high school record was ordinary. It wasn't because of his life experience--prosperous family, fancy prep school--which was all too familiar at Yale. It wasn't his SAT scores: 566 verbal and 640 math."
The only difference between then and now is that Bush actually RELEASED all of his academic records.

I'd like to see Trump sue Schieffer -- and CBS -- for slander. (2. a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report: a slander against his good name)
Racism is a serious allegation that is very detrimental to a person's reputation. So, Schieffer/CBS, PROVE IT.
Would he win? Probably not, but the negative publicity that would surround both CBS and Schieffer would be a lot of fun to witness.

Valerie Jarrett: Obama Not Releasing College Records
You can't make this stuff up, are the libs are really this dumb? It's called the Appearance of Impropriety. We have George W Bush's grades, Al Gore's grades and John Kerry's grades. What's the problem libs, afraid your candidate is dumb as a box of rocks or mediocre at best? A lack luster scholar? Afraid you might have to take back your snide juvenile crowing with Paul McCartney and Jeremiah Wright claiming Obama is smarter than W?
So yes please, do not unseal the grades, this is great political fodder for the GOP to high light Obama's obsessive secrecy character trait. It works for us!!! Hey, Valerie we would put you on the payroll but that would be a little too obvious, keep up the good work.
ARROGANCE, simply arrogance. All the libs have done here is to demonstrate once again, Obama's obsessive paranoia over his personal information. Given the nonsensical non issue the birth certificate turned out to be with his obsessive secrecy, one must wonder IF Obama has a mental disorder. He is acting like a child with ODD - Oppositional Defiant Disorder. http://www.helpforadd.com/co-occurring-disorders/ Check the symptoms, it fits him to a tee. Well, we do call him the man-child... In adults, this is called Conduct Disorder: http://www.psychtreatment.com/mental_health_conduct_disorder.htm
As a side note, I must say that the Clinton supporter team who came up with the false assertion (classic liberal tactic) of problems with Obama's birth certificate was quite astute in identifying Obama's character weakness. They played him like a finely turned fiddle. Apparently, someone saw or had experience with Obama and his secretiveness. Their plan would have worked were it not for the MSM choosing early on to support Obama over Clinton during the primaries. Had the MSM hounded Obama over the issue during the primary campaign and Obama behaved this way, he would have turned off the Democrat primary voters and Clinton would have been the nominee. Just goes to show how incredibly slick and manipulative the Clinton organization was and still is.

Surratt Arrested in Maryland in 1863.
<< < (2/4) > >>
Rick Smith:
Nice work on the list of locations and coordinates.
Dr. Edward Wyvill's home, Burton Hall, was actually located just a couple of hundred yards off of what is now Thrift Rd., just around the corner from the Wyoming Plantation house, not too far from Cosca Park, which has a Clinton address.
Joe Gleason:
Thanks Rick,
I used Brooke Stabler's directions and a 1878 PG. County atlas to help find the location, not realizing that Burton Hall was actually on the MD. Historical Inventory.
Thanks for your help regarding the name of Dr. Wyvill's home and I wanted to ask you if the coordinate that I posted reflects the correct location of where the house once stood.
I remember a gentleman here who used to go by the name Dansville. Didn't he have a letter from John Surratt that was written to David Herold about meeting in Dansville?
Joe G.
Rick Smith:
You are most welcome.
For some reason, most likely user error, I had trouble entering map coordinates on the site you referred to.
In any case, the link below will take you to the location of Wyvill's home, Burton Hall, which you can compare with your coordinates.
I have been on the site and covered the ground pretty thouroughly and could not find the foundation. The area is incredibly overgrown. I will look again in the Fall when there is less foliage.
Take Care,
Rick Smith:
My apologies, the link I sent you does not seem to work.
The address of Burton Hall was 12002 Thrift Rd. Clinton, Md.
I hope that you are able to check your coordinates with the address.
Joe Gleason:
I appreciate you trying to help. Here is a link to the Maryland Historic Properties with a map of Burton Hall. It's great that they have photos of the house as well.
Judging by the map on the link, I think I'm close. Thanks again for your help with this.

Viwa Island, Yasawa is located approximately 70 km northwest of Denarau situated in the Yasawa Islands of Fiji.
The island is surrounded by a blossoming rich colourful coral reef that is abundant with a variety of aquatic life, making it a fantastic location for diving, fishing, snorkeling and other water sports with a white sandy beach and crystal clear turquoise water. The island's first inhabitants were from mataqali o Koro, from Naviti, who first settled at Najia, the second wave of settlers were the mataqali Yaukuve from Yalobi, Waya who settled in Naibalebale. The I Cavuti Vakavanua is "Taukei Na Gaunavou, Turaga Na Ratu, Na Tui Viwa". It is the island for the surfer Isei Tokovou. The three villages are Naibalebale, Yakani and Najia. The island has its own primary school and nursing station. The islanders are facing transport problem as they do not have any consistent transport service to their island.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - More praise from both sides of the aisle for Michigan's outgoing U.S. Senator Carl Levin.
Levin has served as one of Michigan's U.S. senators for 33 years. He said he and his wife thought long and hard about the decision and it ultimately came down to what he hopes to accomplish in the time he now has left in office.
Fellow Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow said "words cannot describe the value of Carl Levin's service to our state and to our country.
"His honor and his integrity are absolutely unmatched. The more people we have like Carl Levin serving in public office, the better off our country will be."
Michigan's Republican Governor Rick Snyder said, "For more than 30 years, Carl Levin has been a thoughtful, compassionate voice in Washington. He effectively brought the needs and concerns of Michiganders to the halls of the capitol. His service on behalf of Michigan and America is commendable.
"On behalf of our entire state, I applaud Sen. Levin for his dedication and wish him a healthy, fulfilling retirement."

Winterthru Museum – Wilmington, Delaware
Pronounced "winter-tour" this house will take you back to see the items that were made or used in America between about 1640 and 1860. Displayed in this 175 room house you will see what collector and horticulturist Henry Francis du Pont loved and wanted to share with the public.
There are nearly 90,000 objects included in the exhibits for you to see. The house is still similar to when the du Pont family lived there.
The collection features decorative and fine arts which are organized in several main categories: ceramics, glass, furniture, metalwork, paintings and prints, and textiles and needlework. Winterthur's ceramics collection includes some 19,000 objects of types made in or imported into America. The earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain in the collection represent an unusually broad range of manufacturing and design types and have special strengths among American, English, and Chinese wares. The diversity of the collection will be fascinating to anyone that has a true love of ceramics.
The glass items count nearly 4,000 objects. Not only are there beautiful pieces created in America but also items that are English and Continental. These are items that comprised the majority of elegant table glassware found in wealty and middle-class American homes.
Winterthur's American furniture collection is the largest and arguably the finest in the country. With a wide range of regional and stylistic forms, the collection of more than 9,000 objects spans the mid-1600s to the 1870s. Rarely will you have an opportunity to see so many beautiful pieces in one location. The quality and diversity of the pieces are outstanding.
Metalsmiths who settled in colonial America and trained successive generations of craftsmen left a legacy of metalwork important to all aspects of life. Winterthur's impressive collection of American-made and imported metalwork encompasses more than 21,000 objects of gold, silver, silverplate, iron, pewter, copper, and alloys of copper such as brass, bronze, and paktong. Collection strengths include domestic and ecclesiastical pewter collected chiefly by museum founder Henry Francis du Pont and the museum's first director, Charles Montgomery. Other important groups include wrought iron hardware as well as ornamental and useful implements; lighting and lamps, many incorporating François Pierre Ami Argand's design; Kentucky rifles; and colonial American silver.
The silver collection includes approximately 9,000 examples of maker's marks on flat silver such as spoons and sugar tongs.
Over 450 paintings, most of them by American artists, are featured at Winterthur. Among his early purchases are some of the most important paintings in the collection. In 1930, du Pont purchased important southern works including Henry Benbridge's double portrait of Captain and Mrs. John Purves and James Earl's elegant Rebecca Pritchard Mills (Mrs. William Mills) and Her Daughter Eliza Shrewsbury. Benjamin West's unfinished American Commissioners of the Preliminary Peace Negotiations with Great Britain, dating 1783 to 1784, was acquired from the J.P. Morgan collection in 1948.
Winterthur's collection of over 4,000 prints and maps is comprised of both American and foreign examples. By the 1930s, du Pont was acquiring significant prints relating to colonial and Federal era America.
The textiles are a wide array of quilts, samplers and needlework pictures. Some date back as far as 1678 with the Sarah Stone's band sampler. The collection of printed cottons and lines is among the best in the world.
The Winterthur Library was established in 1952 to furnish staff, students, and the general public with research materials about American decorative arts. Since then it has become a recognized research center for advanced study and is dedicated to the understanding and appreciation of America's artistic, cultural, social, and intellectual history from colonial times into the twentieth century.
The library, located in the Louise du Pont Crowninshield Research Building, is open to all interested readers without appointment or charge, Monday through Friday, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm; it is closed on legal holidays. Staff welcomes inquiries and will respond in as timely a manner as possible.
The garden at Winterthru will be a place you will enjoy for the beauty and the peace afforded to you while you visit. There are 1,000 acres which have rolling hills, streams, meadows, and forests.
General Admission:

Adult $18

News: Jay Z's Roc Nation Princess Inks Long-Term Deal
Thursday, Aug 1, 2013 5:33PM
Roc Nation CEO Jay Z does not have to lose sleep over R&B diva Rihanna leaving his crew as reports claim she has inked a long-term deal to stay with Team Hov.
According to reports, RiRi is going to remain on Roc Nation for the long haul.
DIVA IN MOTION: Rihanna has signed a new long-term contract with Roc Nation as part of its recent deal with UMG, HITS industry insider I.B. Bad reports in his latest dispatch from the frontlines, posting here tomorrow. Her future releases will probably continue to go through IDJ, continuing a productive long-term relationship with the Steve Bartels-led label, even as Roc Nation builds its own brand. On that subject, does Jay Brown (who manages Rihanna and Shakira) have the bandwidth to become a top major-label exec? And where does ex-Mercury U.K. label head Jason Iley fit into Jay Z's scheme? (HITS Daily Double)
Back in April, buzz behind Jay inking a mega deal with Universial Music Group which would reportedly involve future Rihanna releases surfaced.
Vivendi SA's VIV.FR +0.75% Universal Music Group said Monday it had inked a multiyear deal with rapper Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter to house his music label Roc Nation, snagging the coveted rights to release Mr. Carter's next album along with the forthcoming records of other top-selling artists including Rihanna. Mr. Carter said the deal allowed his five-year-old Roc Nation to "continue to operate as an independent label with the strength, power and reach of the best major." Universal didn't disclose the financial terms of the deal. (Wall Street Journal)
The news came just a few months after Jay managed to persuade hitmaker Timbaland to join the Roc.
""And I Won't Surrender It With Beats By TIMBALAND" 01.30.2013 Roc Nation welcomes TIMBALAND to the family.," a Life + Times post reads along with a photo of both music stars lounging together in a recording studio. (Life + Times)
Back in 2010, RiRi joined forces with Jay's management team.
The singer announced Wednesday (October 20) that she will now be managed by mentor and former Def Jam exec Jay-Z's Roc Nation company. The chart-ruling singer spilled the beans to The Associated Press, saying in a statement she's "so excited to take this next step in my career." The "Only Girl in the World" singer joins songstress Melanie Fiona, spitter Wale and DJ/producer Mark Ronson as other faces handled by the management arm of Hov's multi-pronged firm. (MTV)

My wife, 25 yr old daughter and I shared a Grand Suite # 8534. All 3 of us are Diamond members. Cabin was in excellent condition, very clean & comfortable. Cabin Steward was excellent as usual. Ate in the Main dining roon doing Traditional seating at 5:45 at table #44 for 2 nights and Chops Grill 1 night. Main dining room waiter, Mark, was absolutely wonderful. Food was well prepared and served hot & fresh. Terrific variety! Chops Grill was somewhat uncomfortable due to an unruely couple who found something wrong with each course of their dinner. Made our waiter nervous, thus, rushing our service to the point that we were done eating under 1 hour. Food was good, but the service was rushed and we could not "rest" between courses.
I just don't understand where fellow cruisers get off criticizing food quality in their reviews. Each person is so different in their tastes, likes & dislikes. Please take food quality remarks with a "grain of salt". I have never heard of a person starving to death on a cruise...have you?
Also, HIGHLY RECOMMEND the cabanas on Coco Cay. We had cabana #4...excellent location!

While you will spend the majority of your time using the editor, Fuse IDE includes wizards that make it easy to create the following:
Fuse IDE projects
Apache Camel context files
Apache Camel specific JUnit tests
Fuse IDE leverages the m2eclipse plug-in's ability to execute Maven archetypes to create starting point projects for working on Apache Camel routes. The Apache Camel Maven archetypes are included in the New Fuse IDE Project wizard. Selecting one will create a project that is properly configured for developing Apache Camel applications.
For more information see Creating a new Fuse IDE project.
Apache Camel context files are the key part of any project. They contain the routing rules that form the backbone of a Apache Camel application. Fuse IDE has a simple wizard that creates new Apache Camel context files.
For more information see Creating a new Apache Camel XML file.
Fuse IDE provides a wizard that generates JUnit code for testing your routes. The wizard makes it easy to select the assertions to test. It also simplifies the process of testing particular endpoints in a route.
For more information see Creating a new Apache Camel JUnit test case.

A bargain of a deal for a
new Guntersville police boat could be sunk.
The boat would be mostly
paid for by the feds but the city isn't coming up with its share of the cost.
The council tabled the
vote last month, then later tabled it indefinitely.
The half-million dollar
boat is expected to cost the city around $40,000 in matching funds, roughly the
cost of a new bass boat. The boat would be equipped
with hazardous materials detection to protect the city which has been named a
port city.
Chief Jim Peterson has
said it would also be beneficial in that it would also be used for basic police
functions including search and rescue.
Peterson has said the boat
would be available 24 hours a day, seven days a weeks.
Currently, it's not on Monday
night's agenda and there is no word on when it will be discussed again.
Chief Peterson said last month
that just a few months remain before the grant would expire.
