Poll: Things slowly looking up for President Obama

From the most recent CBS/New York Times poll: Things are slowly looking better not only for the economy but for President Obama.  Click the pic above to enlarge.

The breakdown basically is:

• 50% of Americans approve of President Obama job performance versus 43% disapprove
• 34% of Americans feel the economy getting better versus 22% who feel it’s getting worse
• President Obama’s approval numbers on job creation are going up, while the disapproval numbers are going down

Looking ahead to November, the CNN/ORC poll indicates that the president’s re-election chances are on the rise.

His approval rating is at 50% in this poll as well.

And in hypothetical matchups among registered voters, Obama holds a 51%-46% margin over former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, leads both former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas by the same 52%-45% advantage, and beats former House Speaker Newt Gingrich 55%-42%.

Washington Gov. Gregoire writes NJ Gov. Christie about same-sex marriage

NJ Gov. Chris Christie has yet to respond to a letter from fellow Governor Chris Gregoire (D-WA) offering the New Jersey governor advise on the issue of marriage equality.

In the letter, dated Jan. 31, 2012, Gregoire wrote, “I have been on a personal journey, because while I am a Governor, I am also a Catholic.” “If you would like to talk, please give me a call.”

The correspondence also contained a copy of Gregoire’s remarks upon announcing her support for marriage equality.

Gregoire has received “no response to date,” her office confirms.

98 Degrees Star Jeff Timmons Congratulates Jake Pavelka on Joining the Chippendales

Jake Pavelka and Jeff Timmons

From IN Touch: Jake Pavelka, the former star of The Bachelor, will be honing his emcee skills as a celebrity guest host for a month as Chippendales celebrates its 10th anniversary at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas beginning on February 23.

While the sexy reality star will not be stripping to his skivvies, Jeff Timmons, formerly of the über-popular boy band 98 Degrees, has shown his perfect pecs on the Chippendales stage and has some words of advice for Jake.

“Jake is gonna have a blast!” Jeff tells In Touch exclusively. “The Chipps are wild and crazy, but at the same time, first-class! The girls get a little bananas, so we’ll see if he can handle it.”

Jeff’s limited one-month run was such a sold-out smash last year that it was extended for a whole summer.

Joe Manganiello wants Matt Bomer on “True Blood”

Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello

Most people know that Joe Manganiello and Matt Bomer are two of TV’s sexiest men. But few are aware that they were college roommates.

The two men became buddies while rooming together at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh (Class of 2000).

They’ve remained close friends, and worked together on the highly anticipated male (Chippendales inspired?) film, Magic Mike.

Manganiello also appeared last month on Bomer’s hit series White Collar. Now the world’s sexiest werewolf wants to see his buddy suck some neck on True Blood.

“I think Matt would make a great vampire,” Manganiello told E! Online. “He’s got the suit thing going on. He’s got that sophisticated elegant thing going on.”

Bomer says he’s totally up for some fang banging.

“I’m Team Alcide all the way, “ he said, referring to Manganiello’s character. “But if I’m going to do a guest spot on True Blood, I wanna play a vampire.”

I would love to see Bomer appear on True Blood. BUT until then, look for his duet with Darren Criss on Glee, playing Blaine’s older brother.

Gareth Thomas tweets pic of him in his underwear

Gareth Thomas shared a revealing photo with his Facebook fans over the weekend, along with this message…

Appropriate underwear for today. So just be warned people I’m armed if you come near! Looking forward to another rugby filled weekend. I predict wins for Wales, England, France.

Wales and England did in fact win; The French match against Ireland was postponed. Not that you were actually looking at his rugby predictions.
