O'Reilly-Obama interview: President says Egypt 'not going back'
In an interview with Bill O'Reilly on Fox's Super Bowl pregame show, President Obama calls for a orderly transition to a new representative government in Egypt. Reporting from Washington — In an interview with Bill O'Reilly, President Obama said Sunday that he's confident a new Egyptian government would continue to be a partner of the United States, and he again called on President Hosni Mubarak to allow for an orderly transition to a new representative government.
"Egypt is not going to go back to what it was," Obama said during the interview on Fox's Super Bowl pregame telecast. "The Egyptian people want freedom, they want free and fair elections, they want a representative government, they want a responsive government. So what we've said is, you've got to start a transition now."
Obama also said the Muslim Brotherhood should be part of that transition, even as he conceded there are "strains of their ideology that are anti-U.S."
"The Muslim Brotherhood is one faction in Egypt. They don't have majority support," he said. "There are a whole bunch of secular folks in Egypt. There are a whole bunch of educators and civil society in Egypt that wants to come to the fore as well. So it's important for us not to say that our only two options are either the Muslim Brotherhood or a suppressed Egyptian people."
The 15-minute interview, teased endlessly as a showdown between Obama and the conservative commentator, was a freewheeling exchange in which the two sparred about Obama's ideology and record just after he has reached the midpoint of his term. O'Reilly asked the president whether he favors a redistribution of wealth, whether he was prepared for his healthcare law to be struck down, and whether he has moved to the center since a self-described "shellacking" of his party last November.
"I'm the same guy," he said. "My practical focus, my common-sense focus right now, is how do we out-innovate, out-educate, out-build, out-compete the rest of the world. How do we create jobs here in the United States of America, how do we make sure that businesses are thriving? But how are we also making sure that ordinary Americans can live out the American dream, because right now they don't feel like they are."
On healthcare, Obama pointed to court rulings supporting his landmark law overhauling the system even as a court in Florida found a provision mandating that all Americans have insurance was unconstitutional. He framed that provision as one of personal responsibility.
"There's nothing socialist about that," he said. "That's saying to Americans, we're each of us going to be responsible about healthcare."
This was the third year the president has sat down for a live interview before the Super Bowl, typically the highest-rated television event of the year.
Obama is also hosting his traditional Super Bowl party for friends, family, staff and lawmakers from the home states of the competing teams — this year the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers. Also on the guest list: entertainer Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Marc Antony.
Guests will be eating a meal that includes bratwurst, kielbasa, deep-dish pizza and buffalo wings, the White House said.
The president, who was hoping his favored Chicago Bears would be playing Sunday, declined to pick a winner, saying he only wanted a good game.

Katy Perry announces North American 'California Dreams' tour on Facebook Live interview
Put on your favorite candy-covered frock, Katy Perry's coming to town!
Fans can finally curb their Katy Perry cravings after the singer announced her "California Dreams" world tour will hit the U.S. and Canada this summer during a Facebook Live interview Wednesday.
The pop singer, who kicked off the live video stream with a Q&A with Mark Zuckerberg's sister Randi Zuckerberg, excitedly talked about the tour, which she said will involve scent as well as sound.
"It's an edible-looking tour with meat and candy," she said. "It'll look like a smorgasbord of them."
During the interview, Perry had technicians stream in cotton candy-scented air into the Facebook offices.
"I'm gonna make the Facebook offices STINK!" the star tweeted earlier in the day.
Perry said she will be employing the artistic skills of Mark Ryden and Will Cotton, who created the portrait for her "Teenage Dream" album cover.
Perry also made other, smaller announcements throughout the interview.
For the Grammys, set to air Feb. 13, the provocative pop star plans to bring her 90-year-old grandmother as her date.
"It'll be my grammy at the Grammys," she said. For her grandmother's recent birthday, Perry gave her a bedazzled cane, and she joked with Randi about all other things bedazzled.
"A bedazzled toilet! Though I think that would hurt," the star wondered aloud.
The tour will kick off on June 7 and Perry will wind her way to the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on June 19. Presale tickets start on Friday.
Cleveland Browns interview Falcons QB coach Bill Musgrave for offensive coordinator
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Browns interviewed Atlanta Falcons assistant head coach/quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave for their offensive coordinator vacancy on Tuesday, a league source confirmed.
Eagles secondary coach and senior assistant Dick Jauron also arrive in town Tuesday and will interview Wednesday for the defensive coordinator position, a source told The Plain Dealer. Fellow former NFL head coach Dave Wannstedt will interview Thursday for the defensive coordinator job.
Musgrave was scheduled to arrive in Minnesota Tuesday night to interview for the Vikings' coordinator position, according to reports by ESPN and NFL Network.
Musgrave, 43, brings 14 years experience as an NFL assistant, including coordinator stints with the Eagles (1998), Panthers (2000) and Jaguars (2003-2004). An advocate of the West Coast offense, he learned the scheme from playing quarterback for the 49ers from 1991-94 under head coach George Seifert and offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan.
The Falcons quarterbacks coach since 2006, Musgrave is credited with guiding Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Ryan in his first three NFL seasons. Ryan, who committed three turnovers in a 48-21 divisional round loss to the Packers on Sunday, has guided the Falcons to a 33-13 mark, including 13-3 in 2010.
A first-round pick out of Boston College in 2008, Ryan threw 28 touchdowns and only nine interceptions this season, earning a 91.0 rating -- ninth-best in the NFL.
After last season, Falcons coach Mike Smith added the title of "assistant head coach" to Musgrave's duties. He hoped to keep his staff together this season, but "reluctantly" granted the Browns and Vikings permission to interview him, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported. Musgrave is viewed as potential successor to Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey, who interviewed for the Browns' head coach job.
Musgrave would replace Brian Daboll, who has moved on to the Dolphins. In Cleveland, Musgrave would most likely not call plays, at least in the early going. New coach Pat Shurmur has said he'll handle that chore.
Musgrave also drew interest from the Rams, who hired Josh McDaniels to replace Shurmur. Two offensive assistants with ties to the Browns staff, Ravens' quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn and Rams receivers coach Nolan Cromwell, are not coordinator candidates at this time.
In other coaching news, Browns quarterbacks coach Carl Smith might be up for an assistant position in Seattle.

CHENEY ON HIS HEALTH:
JAMIE GANGEL:
Let's start in the obvious place. For those who have not seen you recently, you look a little different. You lost some weight. This past summer your doctors told you that after five heart attacks you had to make a decision. And you had major surgery. And you had a heart pump put in. Can you tell me a little bit about what they did?
DICK CHENEY:
Sure. Well, there's a system called the LVAD, Left Ventricular Assist Device. And it in effect takes blood from the ventricle chamber of your heart and moves it into your aorta. And it significantly increases the amount of blood flow you've got going, which is vital when you get to end stage heart failure.
It significantly improves the function in the kidneys and your liver because they get an adequate supply of blood. And I'd reached the point after 30 years and five heart attacks where I really needed to do something. And so that's what we did. It's a pump that runs at about 9,000 RPMs. It's battery powered from the outside. But it's a wondrous device. It's really a miracle of modern technology. And now I'm here today because we have that kind of technology. And because the doctors were able to adapt it to my situation.
...
...
JAMIE GANGEL:
More and more people are using these instead of heart transplants, but usually they use them for a year or two. Are you thinking about a heart transplant?
DICK CHENEY:
I haven't made a decision yet. The technology was originally developed to provide a transition. To take somebody who's reached the point where they needed a transplant but a transplant wouldn't immediately be available, so they put this in as a temporary measure.
What's happened over time is the technology's gotten better and better and we've gotten more and more experience with people living with this technology. So I'll have to make a decision at some point whether or not I want to go for a transplant. But we haven't addressed that yet.

CHENEY ON PRESIDENT OBAMA:
JAMIE GANGEL:
You said that you thought that President Obama was going to be a one term President. Do you still?
DICK CHENEY:
I do.
JAMIE GANGEL:
Because?
DICK CHENEY:
Well, because I think he embarked upon a course of action when he became President that did not have as much support as he thought it did. That once he got into the business, for example, of the healthcare reform. I think he's enacted a program that a great many people are very worried about. And that there's a lot of support out there for the effort to repeal that healthcare package.
I think his overall approach to expanding the size of government, expanding the deficit, and giving more and more authority and power to the government over the private sector is a lack of-- sort of a feel for the role of the private sector in-- in creating jobs, in creating wealth and getting our economy back on track. Those are all weaknesses, as I look at Barack Obama. And I think he'll be a one term President.
JAMIE GANGEL:
He's recently rebounded in the polls a little bit. Do you think he's gotten more in tune with some of these things?
DICK CHENEY:
Well, I think perhaps he learned a lesson or two in the off term elections, the off year elections. The Democrats suffered major defeats. The Republican victory in the House was one of the most momentous changes, if you go back and look at our history, that we've ever had in terms of the number of seats captured.
He obviously has been through the fires of becoming President and having to make decisions and live with the consequences. And it's different than being a candidate. When he was candidate he was all for closing Gitmo. He was very critical of what we'd done on the counterterrorism area to protect America from further attack and so forth.
I think he's learned that he's not going to be able to close Guantanamo. That it's-- if you didn't have it you'd have to create one like that. You've got to have some place to put terrorists who are combatants who are bound and determined to try to kill Americans.
I think he's-- in terms of a lot of the terrorism policies-- the early talk, for example, about prosecuting people in the CIA who've been carrying out our policies-- all of that's fallen by the wayside. I think he's learned that what we did was far more appropriate than he ever gave us credit for while he was a candidate. So I think he's learned from experience. And part of that experience was the Democrats having a terrible showing last election.
JAMIE GANGEL:
You said you believe President Obama has made America less safe. That he's actually raised the risk of attack. Do you still feel that way?
DICK CHENEY:
Well, when I made that comment, I was concerned that the counterterrorism policies that we'd put in place after 9/11 that had kept the nation safe for over seven years were being sort of rapidly discarded. Or he was going to attempt to discard them. Things like the enhanced interrogation techniques or the terror surveillance program.
They'd been vital from our perspective in terms of learning basic fundamental intelligence about al Qaeda, about how they operated, who they were, where we could find them. And we were able to put in place a successful policy that did prevent any further major attacks against the United States over all those years. And he campaigned against all of that.
As I say, I think he's found it necessary to be more sympathetic to the kinds of things we did. They've gotten active, for example, with the drone program, using Predator and the Reaper to launch strikes against identified terrorist targets in the various places in the world.
That's all well and good. That's a plus that he's learned in that regard. But I still worry that until you've been there -- clearly a day I'll never forget-- 9/11-- I mean most Americans will always remember where they were on that day. But to sit in the Presidential bunker under the White House as al Qaeda launches hijacked aircraft and hits New York, hits Washington and kills 3,000 Americans, that's something I'll never forget.
And-- it requires you to-- certainly stimulated in me and I think the President I worked for an absolute commitment that that's never going to happen again on our watch. And that we'll do whatever we have to do in order to prevent it. And I hope President Obama is to that point now where he has that same basic attitude. But we might never find out until there's actually another attack.

CHENEY ON THE TRAGEDY IN TUCSON AND POLITICAL RHETORIC:
JAMIE GANGEL:
We don't know what motivated this young man, but immediately there was an uproar about contentious political rhetoric being responsible. Whether it's Sarah Palin using words like, "Don't retreat, reload," or President Obama in 2008 said, "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun," are those kinds of metaphors dangerous? Do you think the political rhetoric has gotten out of control?
DICK CHENEY:
Well, I think we have to be a little bit careful here-- about a rush to judgment. Trying to explain the event when we don't really know everything we need to know in order to be able to make sort of a final judgment. There's a lot more I'd like to know about the man who was the perpetrator of this awful crime.
And I think we need to be a little careful about assuming that somehow the rest of society or the political class bears the responsibility for what happened here when it was the act of a deranged, crazed individual that committed a crime.
I think our politics can get pretty rough at times. Having been vice president for eight years, maybe I'm more (CHUCKLES) sensitive to it than others, but the fact of the matter is, a good, tough political fights is one of the great strengths of our democracy. And so I think we have to be cautious I guess about jumping to conclusions here about the extent to which the sort of the political environment contributed to or caused this event. I think the event was caused by a deranged individual. And-- that's where we ought to look in terms of trying to assess guilt.
In the meantime certainly there's nothing wrong with, and I wouldn't be critical about people who are saying, "Look, we need to be careful about our rhetoric. We need to treat one another with respect during the course of our political debates," and so forth. I think that's always good, sound advice.
But I don't think we should anticipate that we can somehow take a system that was designed for political combat, if you will, between the parties, between ideas, between principles and set that aside. I wouldn't want to do that. That's the heart and soul of our political system. And that's basically a good thing.
JAMIE GANGEL:
Do you think we should watch our language? Do you think we should avoid things like targets on websites?
DICK CHENEY:
Well, perhaps. But again, as I say, I'm reluctant to judge our politicians based upon the act of what appears to be a lone, crazed gunman. Who perpetrated the crime.
***
CHENEY ON OFFERING TO STEP ASIDE AS VICE PRESIDENT:
JAMIE GANGEL:
Let me talk to you about President Bush's book. In his memoir he said about you, "Ten years later I've never regretted my decision to run with Dick Cheney," but he also writes that you offered and he considered dropping you from the ticket. And he says, quote, "He'd become a lightning rod for criticism. He was seen as dark and heartless, the Darth Vader of the administration." First of all, why did you offer to step aside? And I gather it was not the only time you offered?
DICK CHENEY:
Well, I actually went in about three different times because I didn't think he took me seriously the first time. That it was all in that period right before the '04 campaign. And the reason I did it was I thought he needed to have the ability to do whatever was necessary-- to make sure he won.
I always remembered what happened in '92 when his father ran. And there was a lot of speculation at the time that if he had gotten a new Vice President-- not to say anything negative about Dan Quayle. He's a friend of mine. But if he'd reached out and gotten a new Vice President he might have won reelection.
And I didn't wanna stand in the way if in fact that kind of decision would enhance the President's prospects of winning reelection in 2004 when he was up against John Kerry. And I thought he ought to have the freedom to change anybody he wanted, including me.
Bart Scott’s Angry, Spirited Postgame Interview: “Anybody Can Be Beat!”
Bart Scott gave an interesting interview to ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio after the Jets playoff win against the New England Patriots Sunday night.
“Anybody can be beat!” Scott exclaimed as he glanced around menacingly, at times appearing as if he would fight the next person to downtalk the New York Jets.
“It felt great!” Scott said, hilariously, when asked by Sal Pal about how the victory felt. “Poetic justice. We knew we were a much better team and came up and represented ourselves, and we were pissed off.”
Here’s video of Scott’s breathless interview:
Scott, like Rex Ryan before him, was obviously quite excited with the Jets victory. If you’ll recall, those same two guys (Ryan and Scott) were the most vocal Jets in the week leading up to today’s game.
Wes Welker Foot Interview, Rex Ryan can take your best shot, Wes Welker. The Jets coach said he would not talk about the scandal’s alleged foot ftish Welker that made veiled reference to his press conference Thursday, but Ryan said he could handle it.
“With Wes Welker, well, I think it’s a huge game rivalry type and something happens. I can take it,” Ryan said Friday. “I will not discuss it, but I can take it. ”
Obviously, nothing is off limits now. Welker take
pictures with the supposed favorite of the coach, there are no limits in the war of words between the two main rivals in Sunday’s game in the playoffs in the division.
In his press conference on Thursday Welker managed to work the words “foot”, “feet” or “fingers” 11 times.
It seemed to refer to the scandal that Ryan finds himself earlier this month, when several feet – and S-EX-ually oriented ftish videos and photos of a woman who looks like Ryan’s wife Michelle surface on the Internet.
Since the first images released last month, the subject has been taboo for the coach. He always refused to comment, calling it a “personal matter”.
Even a Boston newspaper got into the fray ftish, taking a front – shot to the top coach. Metro Boston, a commuter newspaper, Ryan had the smiling face is bordered by a collage of feet on each side on its front page Friday morning. The headline: “Why will the Pats – Jets Feet.
Welker, smile, declined to comment when asked Friday to clarify the intent of his comments. However, Ryan and his players seemed to recognize the most recent photo and most obvious in the war of words between the teams.
As usual, the outspoken Ryan threw the first barb. Earlier this week, he called Sunday’s game “personal” between him and Bill Belichick. The Patriots coach, who had pointedly reminded his team not to get into a verbal battle with the Jets this week, responded with a hit to the circumference of Ryan. He said that if the coaches have played, it would be a step ahead of Ryan with his speed.
Then things got heated when cornerback Antonio Cromartie Jets said he took exception to quarterback Tom Brady Patriots pointing and gestures to avoid Gang Green after a touchdown pass in their clash in December. He called Brady an “a – hole,” and said he hated him.
Brady said a little lightly. Cromartie said he was a “good player”, but makes sure to add that Darrelle Revis has been a “great player.”
Thursday, Welker used his press conference to raise the chatter. Welker not only that Revis had “good feet,” and “big feet, he said the Patriots were still” making a good start. ”
His barbs laugh especially the Jets.
Center Nick Mangold said Welker joking with tonight tweet Friday:
“Welker is a great player. He used to watch film. If we do not keep a watch on him, he could really open the door.”
Mangold use the words “Spy” and “Gate” are obvious references to Spygate, 2007, when the Jets accused the Patriots of filming their signals from the sideline.
Veteran fullback Tony Richardson laughed and said now he can say he has seen everything in the speech competition. “I actually did my show on SNY Saturday and that’s how we opened the show and I laughed,” said Richardson. “Yeah, it’s personal, but there were some pictures taken this week. It is what it is. It’s playoffs, nothing surprises me.

Weekly metals wrapup, Embry interview posted at King World News

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
Wednesday Why-I-Love-The-Weekly-World-News Blogging Today we learn about rare medical conditions:
STONEWARE, Colo. – “I’m putty in everyone’s hands,” said Bob Gray, looking back on his fifty years. And it’s not surprising: he was born with a medical disorder that caused his entire body to have the consistency of clay! Despite a lifetime of difficulties, Gray is lucky to be alive at all. By a stroke of rare good fortune, the doctor who delivered him had read several articles about the strange condition in Weekly World News. Immediately recognizing the rare disorder, the scholarly obstetrician’s quick action saved the newborn’s life. “I used forceps to widen the birth canal so he wouldn’t be born like toothpaste,” Dr. Vern Caliper recalled. Gray’s parents admit they were initially shocked at his appearance. “Even with Dr. Caliper’s heroic efforts he looked like a pink Tootsie Roll,” recalled Bob’s father, Todd. “But after a few medical tests, the doctor confirmed that he had Kaolinemia – Clay Man Syndrome – which results in pliable bones, skin, internal organs and muscles.” (…) Dr. Caliper immediately began kneading the boy back into the shape of a normal baby. “I was even able to select the shape of his chin, to make it more like his dad’s,” Gray’s mother, Gwen, smiled. Now, as a middle-aged adult, Gray looks completely normal except for the faint letters “maR egdoD” on his forehead, the result of recently being struck by a pickup while crossing the street. He was otherwise unharmed, a benefit of his condition. “Oh, I’ve been healthy enough physically,” related Gray. “But it’s been an emotional nightmare. All my life people have tried to shape me into something I’m not. My high school basketball coach rolled me on the gym floor until I was a seven-foot-tall beanpole. It was humiliating. “But that wasn’t as bad as the time I fell asleep in the first grade,” shuddered Gray. “I was at my desk with my chin resting on my hands. I awoke to screams and realized my lower jaw was squished up against my nose. The teacher grabbed me by the ear to take me to the nurse but it kept stretching like Silly Putty. That got a lot of laughs and kind of broke the tension. I had to spend study hall putting myself back together. “But there were some advantages,” he went on. “What would have been a broken leg for other kids was nothing more than a rebending for me. And a little twisting and pinching made my face grotesquely horrifying for Halloween.” (…) Bob, who works as a bricklayer, has been married for times and blames the breakups on being too impressionable. “I’ve been nothing more than a Play-Doh plaything for all my wives,” Gray sighed…. “Maybe I’m just not firm enough with my women,” he added. “Females seem to have a power over me – I melt when I’m around them and fall in love in about two minutes. My buddies continually warn me not to get bent out of shape, but I’m putty in their hands.” Fortunately, things are looking up for Bob. He recently met a fine lady who seems to like him just the way he is. “I’ve never been happier,” he said. “Doris encourages me to be myself. In fact, I’m considering quitting my job and trying something totally new and different. Now that I have my confidence back, I’m not afraid to do something in the public eye. “Maybe I’ll do some modeling.”
I have to confess, the phrase “I used forceps to widen the birth canal so he wouldn’t be born like toothpaste” will probably haunt me for as long as I live…
