Video: President Obama at the Varsity!

Amanda Ozment came to Atlanta to visit her friend Bradley Loomis, and ended up running into President Barack Obama.

Amanda Ozment came to Atlanta to visit her friend Bradley Loomis, and ended up running into President Barack Obama.

To be honest, Amanda Ozment’s trip to Atlanta to visit her friend Bradley Loomis hadn’t started off so great. She lost her wallet in the airport after she arrived. But she figured her trip would end on a high note when she stopped by the Varsity, an Atlanta landmark her dad had learned about on the Travel Channel.

“As we’re finishing eating this gentleman comes by and says, ‘if you’d like to move to our lower seating area the president’s coming by.’ I’m like the president of the United States or the president of the Varsity?”

Turns out, President Barack Obama was on the way, and Ozment’s independent filmmaking career was launched.

Here’s the video she took with her phone:

The video quickly made her a Twitter sensation, and a number of media outlets asked if they could use the clip. She graciously tweeted approval for anyone who wanted to use it.

“I was like, I want to remember this so I pulled out my phone. I was thinking my friends would think this was interesting,” she said. “Before I knew it I’ve got 100 mentions. I was like, oh I guess this is newsworthy!”

After her chance encounter with the president, Ozment headed downtown and ran into “Extra” personality Mario Lopez jogging in Centennial Olympic Park. Then came … you guessed it, the presidential motorcade, ferrying Obama to his fundraising visit to the Westin Peachtree Plaza.

“I’m a good luck charm,” Ozment laughed.

A 27-year-old nanny, she describes herself as politically interested but not a huge partisan. But hey, who wouldn’t think it was cool to stumble into a presidential photo opp?

“It’s been kind of a wild and crazy weekend!” she said.

Downtown right now is a complete mess, people standing on the street corner hoping to catch a glimpse of a man who cares NOTHING for them. I doubt very seriously if the Varisty was even a planned stop. I leave downtown at 4:30 and his happy fundraising arse better be gone by then. Besides, Kim Kardashian is flying in and she’s way more important!!!

You’re only interested in Obamacare? How about the TRILLIONS of dollars in debt we’re in just in the last THREE years? Does Fast and Furious ring a bell? Have you reached counting to 500,000 per MONTH they said job growth would be and never materialized? Have you enjoyed going on any of his or Mooshell’s vacations, to places the rest of us can only dream about yet, we’re paying for? How’s your golf game? Obama’s is fantastic considering he plays more than he works.

Can you honestly say, with 100% certainty, that you had it worse during Bush’s administration? If you say yes, you’re dreaming and don’t know the facts.

@ Lady-D … was that even English? So Obama spent more than any other U.S. President (7.2% more than Bush currently) and yet we should give him a pass when there haven’t been ligitimate results!? Nothing was dumped in his “lap”, he took the job knowing the circumstance and made promises with a passive plan that never happened. Thats the Reality & its time people take a stand because its clear we’re going in the wrong direction. I was supportive of Obama years ago, but its obvious he is out of touch. Wonder if all the people unemployed complaining about no jobs will still vote for him? His “Change” message is ironic as that is about to happen come re-election

Back to Blaming Bush

June 26th, 2012
1:18 pm

Who came after Jimmy Carter? – REAGAN. Did Reagan spend any of his time blaming Carter for anything that happened during his administration? Of course not! And you know why? Because Reagan knew what it would take to turn the country around and he focused on that. He didn’t have time to blame Carter for anything. Besides, Reagan was way too much of a gentleman to badmouth anyone.

Now comes Obama, and he has yet to take responsibility for any single thing he has done. He’s even got you people convinced that your lot in life is all Bush’s fault.

No other President in the history of our country has blamed his predecessor as much as Obama has blamed Bush. And you want to know the funny part? What Bush got thrown in his lap was from Clinton. But no one thinks that far back because Obama has got you so brainwashed you don’t know up from down, left from right and unfortunately, right from wrong.

FACTS are a very powerful thing.

Oh and Lady D – proofreading and spellcheck are your friend. Welcome both with open arms.

a strong black president? a president leads and does not bow at the feet of saudi kings as MUSLIM sharia law states that all muslims do. You only voted for him b/c he was black- he had no record of accomplishment, he hung out with un repentant terrorists and black panthers like wright, farrakhan , jesse and al and the sclc and naacp- ALL trouble makers. and now, he is rewarding illegals with citizenship. what next, you rob a bank you keep the money? He is weak, he is a muslim and he is a fraud. All of his policies were passed by pelosi and co and they failed! Even Harry Reed says obama has failed. He is a joke, a racist and a non american, yet all you hip hoppers think he is wonderful bc he is black. well that shows how stupid some of the voters are. And why is he in Atlanta? to raise money to send mooshell on another 18 trips before his butt is fired from office. One and done for the clown visiting down town.

I beg to differ…..try going from 75K on January 21, 2001 to NOTHING on 9/11…after beiing laid off from United Airlines…and couldn’t find employment for over TWO YEARS — TWICE!! Try having to take a job paying less than $8/hr and couldn’t pay bills!! I was able to find employment under Obama less than SIX MONTHS after his inauguration….in my field of expertise at a comparable scale that I ws making in the late 90s!! I’m doing MUCH better than I was during the Bush Years; where were you when the nation was getting BUSHwhacked???

@ Lady-D – I’m not missing the point, but its clear you are uneducated. After 3 years in office, where is the accountability for our President to do his job!? I was never a Bush fan, but I can’t justify how people say that the economy today is still due to the former president. Thats not good enough. I do Sales for a Technology Company and imagine if I said the numbers were terrible after working years on the accounts because some prior account executive messed it up. (Hypothethical) But, I’d be held to the fire because I have to show results. Obama hasn’t shown positive steps forward. Refuses to create new incentives for small / mid-size business to grow the economy while generating new jobs. I’m getting so tired of people not looking at the facts and just saying it’s someone elses fault for the state we’re in. That just doesn’t cut it anymore. Its really hard to support and re-elect a guy who hasn’t made the positives to display confidence in the market and just go for the “hope it works out” mentality. Americans are struggling and a concrete solution is needed. This doesn’t happen overnight, but require the pieces in place for progress

It’s doubly sad that one will sit and blame without knowing how your judicial system works.

Your 401K started taking a beating during the last part of the Bush years….and BUSH bailed out the banks under TARP, not Obama!! I’ve lost my 401’s THREE TIMES under Reagan, Bush41 & 43…..and couldn’t find work for two year periods under EACH Republican President!!

I blame Bush for the economic environment that he set….two wars that were unpaid…the crony capitalism….9/11 and the economic environment afterwards…..THAT’S where I place blame!! I lost 35% of my economic capability salary-wise and 100% savings and investment-wise from 2001-2009. Now, I’m rebuilding my financial capability where I couldn’t before!!

@ Lady-D – it was a hypothetical saying that people are measured on results. You can like the guy or whatever, but show the results of where we are moving this country to a better tomorrow. End of the day that is what he will be accountable for and will be exposed come re-election. People aren’t going to support a leader if they are out of work, losing their pensions, lack of growth, massive spending leading to hyper-inflation, and uncertainty. I don’t mind him as a person, but he is out of touch and its really hard to feel confident in his plan forward given the results of this terms. Just look at the numbers … it speaks for itself

I don’t care if he’s a black man. What I care about is that he had a grand total of 153 days experience in government – STATE government and he chose to run for the highest office of this country. Those who voted for him fell for his lies and inexperience hook, line and sinker. Now, at every turn not only is Bush still being blamed, but the race card is being played and it’s getting old.

@Robert- You mention all of the White Groups but what about the “Black Panthers”? I do not see any white people in that group and in fact, I do believe they hate white people. Obama is black? Obama himself said he was a mutt. He is mixed which means he is bi-racial but you and others on here want to think that he is full-blooded black american. WRONG!!!!

Let’s see here. If a white person disagree’s with a black person, the white person is a racist! If a group of blacks jump on a white person, it is not a hate crime even though they spew racial comments, names, etc… If a white group jumps on a black man, OH LORD, it is a hate crime for sure, regardless if no racial comments were made.

Now lets look at the education system in GA. Who was accused of changing the answers on the CRCT test? Sorry, I did not hear you so I will let you know, it was the black teachers and their leaders, also black, Which color of the student’s test’s answers were changed? The black students answers were changed.

So you see here, blacks blame the white people for everything and then claim that the white people are the most racist people in America. Black on black crime, let me take a guess, it is the white man’s fault. You don’t have a job because you have no education or you are just to lazy to go out and find one, white man’s fault. I can go on and on and on with this but wait, because I point out some actual facts, I have now become a racist, right?

Do you really know what color I am? I could be an educated white person or an educated black person, maybe an educated mixed black/white person or educated Hispanic person, I could go on and on with this one too, that is sick and tired of the black race pointing fingers at the white people all the time when they should stand up and take responsibility for once. If Obama can do what he said he was going to do, then great, I will support him. If he cannot do it, then step aside and let someone else try to do the right thing for ALL AMERICAN’s of ALL RACES.

Forget who (or what) is in charge, we need to take control of our own lives…. and p.s. Klan Man, I’m a black man who frankly didn’t vote for Obama, I personally just didn’t think he was ready to be president at the time when he was running for office… but you and some of your fellow friends postings seem very narrow minded, me (or my family) never received any type of handouts, we didn’t believe in it, we were always a strong, hard working family. There are actually more White individuals than any other ethnic group on welfare, please do not get caught up in media lies…. So basicially, your logic has no real value.

@HDB – Point proven. You have a lot of hate in you against the white man. Good for you that you have TWO Masters degrees. If you have a Family and you are the Man of the house, then you do what you have to do in order to support your Family. First of all, kids that are born, they did not ask to be brought into this world but that decision was made by a man and a women, regardless of the way the child was conceived.

If it makes you feel better to blame Bush for what happened to you, then keep on blaming him. I am sure Bush called your Manager and said; “Hey, you know that person that calls him/herself HDB, how about letting that person go because of their race”. Truth be known here, I bet you that just as many other “race” of AMERICANS lost their job as well.

Look at the history of America and you will see that issues are passed on from one President to the next President to the next President and so on. Why blame the President when Congress can veto him. See, many think what the President says, happens right then and there. Nope, it has to be approved by Congress. With your TWO MASTER DEGREES, did you even take ONE class that discussed the government?

You have done so facing the technological 24 hour news and propaganda cycle and challenges of social media. Yes, we still have a ways to go, but you saved this country from economic ruin, and you have blunted terrorism, and brought new world-wide respect for our country. Keep up the good work sir!

@ TechFan – Obama’s approval level in the world had been dropping since last year by 22%. Europe doesn’t approve of the way he talks about diplomacy then consistent air strikes and being much less multilateral on international issues. So to say he is restoring US respect in the world is completely misguided. Also to say no other President had faced such difficult challenges, ummm Lincoln with the divide of the country or Roosevelt with WWII. Guess those Presidents didn’t have it tougher than Obama eating his chili dog at the Varsity and taking vacations at Martha’s Vineyard. To say he’s a great President is a joke while unemployment is so high, people are set to lose their 401K retirements, and there is no concrete healthcare plan.

Think about it from the other side. He doesn’t give a rat’s butt about you, me, or anyone else. He only cares about the Liberal agenda and gaining more control over our human rights and everything our forefathers fought to give us. Be as ignorant as you want, but the facts are there and all you have to do is read and it explains in black and white he will go down a the worst president this country has ever had. You can’t make these things up, you reap what you sew my friend. As soon as you stop thinking like an impossible Liberal you may understand why the economy still sucks and shows no signs of recovery.

The Illuminati was a secret society in Bavaria in the late 18th century. They had a political agenda that included republicanism and abolition of monarchies, which they tried to institute by means of subterfuge, secrecy, and conspiracy, including the infiltration of other organizations.

They fancied themselves to be “enlightened” but they had little success and were destroyed within fifteen years of their origin (Pipes 1997).

@Myth, Just wondering where are you getting your information from? Please provide a link or links because I would really love to read these articles. One question I have is do you really believe that ANY President can make a decision on his own, without having Congress to approve, excluding certain military excursions? Sorry but Obama did not kill Osama, the Navy Seals Team Six risked their life to perform this task, Obama promised to lower the national debt, it has only increased since he has taken office. Show me a picture of any President, touring the poor neighborhoods and standing side-by-side with the poor people.

Let us harp on the WMD that Bush told us about, noting that he was given inaccurate information on that. Obama promised to end the war if he was elected. Here, almost 4 years later, the war is still going on and will not end until 2014. WOW, 6 years to bring the war to an end after Obama told us he would pull the troops out. I call that a victory for him for getting this promise completed in only 6 years.

The true fact here is that no matter which President, Republican or Democrat, is elected to office, he/she will never fulfill the promises that was made to get them elected. I do not care who the President is, black or white or any other race, as long as they do what they say they are going to do and treat everyone equal and do the very best that they can to improve the USA to keep the jobs here, to make sure everyone has healthcare, investigate why Doctors, Hospitals charge so much for saving a life, provide protection to this GREAT LAND of OUR’s. Provide money to help create a better technology than anyone else, TAKE CARE OF THE AMERICANS FIRST before sending all this money over-seas to help those countries surpass the USA and make us nothing but a third world country, oh Lord let me stop here as I could go on and on, I would gladly support this kind of President.

I am not going to sit here and spew hate filled messages out to other bloggers because they do not see eye to eye with me. If you want to do that, feel free to because it only shows everyone else that you cannot listen to reason and pick the better President, not based on race or sex but based on the track record this person has ever since they got involved with politics.

There is good and bad in every race in this WORLD. I pray each night that God calls his children home very soon because of what is happening in this world brings tears to my eyes. It is a sad day when you have a disagreement and instead of talking about it, guns are pulled out and people are killed. Lot of the time it is the innocent child that paid the price. The days are gone when you step on someone’s toe, you apologize, shake hands and all is forgotten but now, step on someone’s toe and the next thing you know, you are being sued. How sad has America become? Very sad. Just goes to show that the end of days are near, if you believe in God. Open You eyes and see that everyone’s rights are being taken away.

What is Mountain Dew mouth?

Mountain Dew soda, a product of the Pepsi Company, has been deemed the culprit in creating a high incidence of severe tooth decay in children from extremely poor regions, such as Appalachia, where there is often little resources or opportunity for routine dental care.

A 20 ounce bottle of Mountain Dew contains 19 teaspoons of sugar, 93 milligrams of caffeine and acid that causes enamel erosion. Thus the dental community’s coined phrase, “Mountain Dew Mouth.” (Equally detrimental is the consumption of the caffeine content in a 20 ounce bottle, which is equivalent to taking a half tablet of NoDoz.)

In 2009, ABC news network aired a program discussing the problem of severe tooth decay among the poor children in the Appalachian mountain region. The ABC news video on “Mobile Clinic treats Mountain Dew Mouth,” and accompanying article, can be viewed here.

In the wake of the documentary, Pepsi Cola company issued a statement saying that their product could not be blamed for the poor oral hygiene of the people in Appalachia. The company’s premise was that the children needed to be taught to brush frequently, and floss regularly, in order to avoid tooth decay.

Subsequently, the company had a change of heart and publicized that they would contribute to helping the people of Appalachia with their dental needs.

Mountain Dew is sweet and kids love it. They sip it in school, during after school activities and in the evening while watching television. Sipping Mountain Dew in this manner, throughout the day, is equivalent to soaking the teeth in sugar.

“An estimated 24.8 million white people live in Appalachia, and this population often has the highest concentrations of chronic illnesses like diabetes and obesity,” said Laureen Smith, PhD, RN, study investigator and assistant professor in the College of Nursing.

It’s kids like mine that have the greatest chance of changing this country from the pitiful situation it finds itself in now with all the name calling and apathy. Comments like these do nothing to make this country stronger or better. It really amazes me that people get on the internet behind a pseudo name and make these outrageous comments. As a military brat, I grew up with patriotism and the belief that my father was a hero for protecting free speech for all people. I’m sorry he lost his life for this so called “free speech”. Keep this up people, and soon you’ll be bowing down to all the countries that are buying up this country. I don’t want my children being a hero through death in the military protecting your freedom until things attitudes in this country change.

I know a lot of people are ill- informed about ObamaCare. Those who have money and can afford health care hate Universal health care. Those who do not have money think otherwise. But we should all stop brief and ask for the basic and most fundamental definition of the word INSURANCE.

Insurance means sharing the cost of our risks among ourselves. We do it when we are on the job. Why can’t we take it Universal. Some people are very angry because they think they would be sharing the risks with other people they do not like. Hey this is the real world.

The second thing I want to point out is that the present economic woes is not regional, it is global and this is due to unfication of the economies of the world. The problem is more than we were given. IT WAS SIMPLY A MESS. It will take decade to solve it It is not President Obama’s fault. I do not think Mitt Romney has the magic wand either. He has not even come out with his economic plan. Because he has none and he knows the problem is very serious.

We need to examine the economic platform we are operating on right now. The platform of excessive profitability by tout emsemble. There is the need for a new economic theories to emerge. The free market system has come crushing on its knees. Economists should admit the realities and tell people the absolute thruth. Right now we need Populist Capitalism.

Do not blame President Obama at all. It takes a very short time to destroy a system but it takes a long time to repair the system. Bush’s tax cut plan has failed and my Republican friends should admit this as a bad move the country made and then together we begin to fix the problems. This is what President Obama has been hammering upon. No soceity has ever survived when one percent of the population control almost 40 percent of the national wealth. Such societies collapse including the rich. This is what Warren Buffet wants to convey to his other rich friends.

All said and done President Obama has been a good President inspite of a hateful and non performing Congress.

Black or white has nothing to do with it. Obama’s record makes it clear he is the worst president ever. One small problem is that he is not legally our president, not to mention all the laws he has broken, the impeachable offenses he has committed, and the fact that he has no clue what America is about.
*****************************************

L O L

“YOU” people can’t have it both ways.

Obama the worst president?

I thought “YOU” people said Carter was the worst president.

If “YOU” people thought that Obama was the worst……

ELECT MYTH ROMNEY AND “YOU” WILL BE BEGGING FOR OBAMA TO

COME BACK.

REMEMBER: MYTH ROMNEY SAID HE IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE POOR.

Unless you are a millionaire or billionaire that INCLUDES “YOU.” :)

All said and done President Obama has been a good President inspite of a hateful and non performing Congress.

Myth is a “concern troll” getting paid a few pennies for each dreaded “ALL CAPS” diatribe post. Myth, he’s gone now, so why don’t you go to the Miami Herald board where you can continue to “assist” others with your particular scent of “enlightenment?” Looks like you were up all night posting. Don’t you have a fryer to attend to?

Btw – You want healthy at the Varsity? Deviled Egg on WW toast is good; just add the onion rings! :-D

Hatred is rooted in a person’s spirit, it did not just start with a Black President and it will not end when there is not. Unless you identify your problem you will die that way and have missed the essence of life itself. I feel so sorry for you.

Just a note: Every political person that is not for Obamacare or I call Peoplecare already has insurance, arm yourself with knowledge, by reading facts and comment less. People perish…..when there is no knowledge …….if your employer provides you with insurance “today” now truthfully would you be in a position to purchase your own? Most Americans cannot, that is why we need Peoplecare Insurance no matter who presents it. People should always matter. Most people strike out before they are armed with information. Reading insurance law and provisions is time consuming but you have to do this to really know what you are talking about or hating about. Most Americans do not even know the facts because they do not read they hear it and start hating. When did you last read your car insurance policy or homeowners policy there are changes there , do you know why? It takes to much time to do this, so we settle for the little we hear, look at television and do word of mouth. Most people do not even read their own mail ……so for once be bigger than hatred, it is guaranteed to bring you a better life you and your children. Ignorance begets ignorance only it never takes you forward and hatred never brings you to happy. It is never too late to change. I love black and white people and all the in between we are all People. So for the ones that continue this hatred no matter your race GOD Himself knows how to deal with you all on his own and that is a Promise that will not be broken.
