Guess Who Obama Left out of His Fourth of July Speech?
By Michael Dorstewitz. President Obama’s Fourth of July address was lacking one important element — especially on the occasion of America’s birthday.
It missed the part at the very end, when most presidents — including the current one — say something like “May God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.”

Not Everyone Likes the Fourth of July-Themed Al Jazeera Video That Does This
By Sharona Schwartz. Al Jazeera’s digital media platform AJ+ posted a Fourth of July-themed video mocking Americans as fat, cheese-eating, gun-toting, pill-popping, racist porn watchers.
While some on social media applauded the creation, others slammed the Qatar-owned network for using the holiday “to dump” on America.
Social media users got particularly riled up by the criticism coming from the channel owned by Qatar — a country where stoning is a legal punishment under Shariah law, women have second class legal status, writers can be imprisoned for criticizing the emir and abuse of foreign laborers has been repeatedly criticized by human rights groups.
The video is sarcastically titled “Americans Show Why USA Is The #1 Country In The World.”
After lauding the U.S. as world leader in Olympic medals, Nobel laureates and billionaires, young actors then go on to mock the U.S. for “the most incarcerated people in the world. God-bless the prison industrial complex.” (Read more from this story HERE)
