Student’s Picture With Obama Goes Viral

When University of Colorado student Madalyn Starkey posed for a picture with President Barack Obama, she had no idea the hilarious image would go viral.

While traveling through Colorado on Tuesday, Obama stopped in at a local pub known as the Sink. In the photograph, Obama is grinning with his arm around Starkey while the self-described “Pro Student” points her finger at the president in seeming disbelief.

Starkey has been having fun with all the attention on her Twitter feed, writing, “Woooo, never knew a tweet could blow up like that. Neat!” And then joking with another Twitter user, “bet you wish you had taken me to prom now, huh?”


The picture has taken off on social media sites like Instagram and Twitter. And it wasn’t the only Obama photo to catch fire across the Web this week. In another photo from Tuesday, Obama appears to be high-fiving a small child after arriving at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado. After all the attention, it would seem the president is giving the Ridiculously Photogenic Guy a run for his money.

U.S. Secret Service Looking Into Ted Nugent’s Threatening ‘Anti-Obama’ Message

The U.S. Secret Service is looking into a violent rant by “Cat Scratch Fever” rocker Ted Nugent in which he denounced President Barack Obama and his top advisers as “evil” and urged National Rifle Association members to help “chop their heads off in November.”

“I’ll tell you this right now: If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year,” Nugent said. “We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November. Any questions?” Nugent, speaking at the organization’s annual gathering over the weekend, praised NRA members but warned that if they did not “get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile, evil, America-hating administration, I don’t even know what you’re made out of.”


“If the coyote’s in your living room, pissing on your couch, it’s not the coyote’s fault. It’s your fault for not shooting him,” he said.He also denounced the administration as “criminals” and said a Democratic victory in November would mean “we’ll be a suburb of Indonesia next year” — an apparent reference to Obama’s boyhood time there.

Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary told Yahoo News: “We are aware of the incident and we are conducting appropriate follow-up.” And a spokeswoman for Mitt Romney, whom Nugent has endorsed, distanced the campaign from his remarks.

“Divisive language is offensive no matter what side of the political aisle it comes from. Mitt Romney believes everyone needs to be civil,” Andrea Saul said by email.
