Obama More Unpopular In The Middle East Than George W. Bush

    This Can’t Be Good!

    Barack Obama

    According to a recent report, U.S. President Barack Obama, is more unpopular in the Middle East, than former Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush. With the ongoing wars in the Middle East that Obama has not stopped, going even further in starting a new war in the African nation of Libya, illegally ousting its Muslim head of state and killing members of his family in air raids, it is clear the president has offended Arabs in the region. Considering the sheer hostility and anger towards Bush in the Middle East, for Obama to have topped that is not a good thing.

    Another Obama FAIL

    7/13/2011 - Check out what's inside the July issue of Townhall Magazine! Remember back at the dawn of his presidency, how President Obama flew off to Cairo to speechify about "his personal commitment to engagement, based upon mutual interests and mutual respect" (in the words of then-spokesman Robert Gibbs)? Well, count it as another Obama fail. The US is now more unpopular in the Middle East than it was during the tenure of President George W. Bush.

Rick Ross Sued For Stealing Name And Image


    Rick Ross

    Miami rapper, Rick Ross, has been sued by notorious drug dealer, incarcerated felon, "Freeway" Ricky Ross. The Miami MC famously took the drug dealer's name, image and likeness and used it to launch a fairly successful rap career.

    The only problem for the rapper is in America there is such a thing as image rights. "Freeway" Ricky Ross is entitled to what is known as the Right Of Publicity, meaning he and only he, has the right to profit from his name and image. When he has passed, that right goes to his heirs.

    To use his real life image as a persona for a rap career and credibility, is a violation of his legal rights. You are an impersonator, pretending to be the real thing and in music that defeats the purpose of having credibility. As such, the cocaine trafficker has sued the Miami rapper.

    "Freeway" Ricky Ross

    Thus far, Judge Percy Anderson, has not granted an injunction barring the release of Ross' forthcoming album, but under the law, he owes the felon financial damages and should cease and desist exploiting his name and image for financial gain.

    Under the circumstances, you cannot take someone's name and image and turn it into entertainment for profit. You are infringing on their life, which is illegal.

    The damages are multiplied, as you are disseminating this work and persona not your own, all over the world, violating international image laws as well.

    Side Bar: "Freeway" Ricky Ross appeared in the eye-opening documentary "American Drug War." He spoke about the CIA and Oliver North, as did numerous other individuals, from drug dealers to former DEA agents.

    I still have not gotten over that documentary. It's pretty messed up when you find out the CIA flooded the streets of Compton, California with drugs they imported into America.
