Barack Obama

Barack ObamaPresident Barack Obama released a statement defending the mosque plan on Ground Zero. In a passionate defense of religious freedom, Obama on Friday waded into a bitter controversy, stating that the American Muslims has the same right as everyone else to build a worship place and community center.

"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," Obama said.

But the proposed location, two blocks from the gaping Ground Zero hole, where the Twin Towers were destroyed on September 11, has touched raw nerves.

The opposed reaction comes from the Republicans Sarah Palin who openly offending the plan. The Republicans see the mosque plans as an act of insensitive and intolerance by the Muslims, abusing their right to offend others who have suffer from the September 11 tragedy.

Silly Bandz, Clever Move

It seems that Justin Bieber's name means money to businesses. But it's true, we have to admit that anything that has to do with the name or image of Justin Bieber is an instant hot seller.

Seeing this opportunity, Silly Bandz quickly snapped Bieber into a deal to produce his own line of Silly Bandz to wear around the wrist. You can bet they will be popular in no time, since it's using Bieber's image.

The Silly Bandz brand made a smart move giving Justin his own line of these wrist decor. The Justin Bieber Silly Bandz are being released just in time for the parents to be out there doing the back to school shopping, which is another smart move on the company's part.

Justin Bieber's Silly Bandz's will be on the wrist of almost every school aged girl starting from kindergarten and going up the ladder to about the age of 16, the age of the superstar, Bieber.

Silly Bandz have proved their popularity with kids as they are sold in all different shapes already, but to add the name Justin Bieber to the Silly Bandz line is pure marketing genius.
