Glenn Beck Slams Unemployment 99ers – Individuals who have exhausted their 99 weeks of unemployment benefits have been dubbed “99ers,” and were recently attacked by the right leaning Glenn Beck. They got a lot of attention on Monday, when Beck introduced them to some of his viewers. He explained who they are, and then gave his opinion on their cause.

“Some of these people, I bet you’d be ashamed to call them Americans,” he said, not holding his tongue.
Beck advised them to go out there and get a job that doesn’t pay as well as the job that they had before. He alluded to the fact that in hard times, sometimes people have to settle for whatever work they can find. He told them to work at McDonald’s, or to work two jobs if they really needed to.

“There has been plenty of times in my life I’ve done jobs I hated, but I had no choice. Two years is plenty of time to have lived off your neighbor’s wallet,” he said.

Sarah Palin & GOP Slam Obama Ground Zero Mosque Comments – As you might have been able to guess, the GOP is already using Obama’s remarks regarding the construction of a mosque blocks away from ground zero against him.

Sarah Palin took to Twitter and Facebook Saturday and demanded that President Obama explain his remarks.
Obama defended the right of all Americans to practice religion as they see fit, but some are against building a mosque just blocks away from the biggest tragedy on US soil in the history of the country.
