Gaiesville -- A Florida court refused a man's request for restraining orders against President Barack Obama, former Gators quarterback Tim Tebow and Jesus Christ.
John Gilliand filed papers in Alachua County court last week claiming he felt threatened by the three famous figures and he made reference in the filings to the men being gang members or making gang symbols in his direction, the Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel reported Tuesday.
"I was trespassed from the Kangaroo Gas Station on University for saying T-Bo sucks," Gilliand wrote in his petition for an injunction for protection against Tebow. "I personally hate any type of exercise although I feel Billy Blanks has a wonderful video."

Detroit -- The chairman of a national U.S. auto dealers association said the Obama administration's new fuel standards goals were too ambitious.
Speaking to an Automotive Press Association audience at the MGM Grand in Detroit, National Automobile Dealers Chairman Ed Tonkin said, "We would all like to believe consumers would be willing to pay whatever it takes to reach such a worthy goal.
But will they? Or is this another example of getting ahead of the consumer?"
The Obama administration is studying a proposal to have auto maker fleets reach an average fuel efficiency rating of 60 miles per gallon by 2025. The current goal for the industry is to obtain an average of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016.

Philadelphia-- A 24-year-old streaker says he ran naked at President Barack Obama's rally in Philadelphia in hopes of winning $1 million offered by a British billionaire.
Juan Rodriguez was arrested after his stunt at an outdoor Democratic Party rally Sunday evening.
British businessman Alki David, 42, promises the big cash prize to the first person who streaks in front of the president with his interactive reality TV channel and community Web site, Battlecam.com, written across his or her chest and shouting it six times within earshot and sight of Obama.
"This is the first time anybody has attempted it. I still don't know if he was successful. If he has done it, I'll pay him in cash," David told the New York Daily News.

After complimenting the athletes gathered on the South Lawn -- "boy, this is a healthy-looking group here" -- the president congratulated them for their success in sports that don't get the kind of publicity as higher-profile NCAA sports such as football and basketball.
