Barack Obama discusses the same old Washington game of slinging mud at your opponents and ignoring real issues. This comes a day after he and Hillary Clinton debated in Pennsylvania, where it took 45 minutes of answering non-issue questions before they talked about anything of importance. Credits: Thanks to CNN for the footage and Jay-Z for the music.

“I’m letting you guys know now, y’all probably will not be invited to Malia’s wedding or Sasha’s wedding,” Mr Obama said, referring to his own daughters President Barack Obama and his family have not been invited. Speaking on ABC’s “The View” he said: “I think Hillary and Bill properly want to keep this as a thing for Chelsea and her soon-to-be husband.” The only thing that has been officially confirmed is the date, but earlier the former president arrived in the tiny New York town of Rhinebeck, confirming the long-suspected location of the Big Day. As crowds of people and cameras followed him down the street, Mr Clinton said: “We’re all fine…We love it here… Chelsea loves the area as well.” Thirty-year-old Chelsea is expected to marry her long term boyfriend investment banker Marc Mezvinsky at Astor Courts, a grand estate that is well protected from prying eyes and cameras. A no fly zone in place over the area, as well as high security, are all part of the operation to keep the wedding as private as possible. Mr Mezvinsky is Jewish and Chelsea is Methodist, leading to speculation it will be a multi-faith ceremony. But one of the biggest questions is over the dress. Chelsea has been photographed going in to the celebrity designer Vera Wang’s showroom, apparently for a fitting. But her mother, secretary of state Hillary Clinton, was reportedly spotted going in to an Oscar de la Renta bridal shop, prompting speculation that he would be designer of choice for the big day.

President Barack Obama took aim at Republican lawmakers Monday, accusing them of holding the public hostage to Washington politics by blocking extended unemployment benefits for millions of out of work Americans. Lawmakers have battled for weeks over legislation extending unemployment benefits to workers who have been out of a job for long stretches of time. The last such extension expired at the end of May, leaving some 2.5 million people without benefits, with hundreds of thousands more losing benefits each week. On Monday, he sought to cast his Republican opponents as hypocritical for having voted for extensions of unemployment benefits when his Republican predecessor, President George W. Bush, was in the White House, but not now. He accused Republican leaders of subscribing to what he called a misguided notion that providing unemployment aid to people lowers their incentive to look hard for a job. If the unemployment rate remains above 9 percent three months from now, Gibbs said, benefits may need to be extended again.

Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) has made his views known on the Birther controversy: He supports lawsuits to force President Obama to produce his birth certificate. “I personally don’t have standing to bring litigation in court,” Vitter said. “But I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court. I think that is the valid and most possibly effective grounds to do it.” But on the other hand, Vitter takes a relatively enlightened approach to the issue, telling conservative activists that they shouldn’t let the Birther issue distract them from the important work of this November’s elections. Vitter appeared yesterday at an event yesterday in Metairie, Louisiana, hosted by the Greater New Orleans Tea Party. According to tracker video provided to us by the Louisiana Democrats, a man got up during a Q&A and asked Vitter what he would do about what the man described as Obama’s failure to produce a valid birth certificate. Here is Vitter’s answer: “I know all the information I’ve been able to get my hands on through the media. But obviously with the mainstream media as a filter, that’s not a whole lot. I personally don’t have standing to bring litigation in court. But I support conservative legal organizations and others who would bring that to court. I think that is the valid and most possibly effective grounds to do it. Let me also say this. I think quite frankly, and I’ll be blunt, I think if we focus on that issue and let our eye off the ball in …
