Can you imagine the uproar if a major conservative publication ran an image like this?

The image is from New York Magazine, however, and it’s in support of gay marriage, so the response will be muted, Obama Gay Marriage Evolution Watch: Day 468.

A writer at WaPo does take some offense:

This video is sure to result in great mockery, as Romney says that a couple of times in his life he feared getting a pink slip.

But remember, fearing a pink slip a couple of times is a couple of times more than Barack Obama ever feared a pink slip. 

Because mysteriously funded...

The tease on the homepage of The Hill for an article about Obama’s Christmas vacation dilemma reads:

The tax fight could force Obama to spend the holidays in an empty White House listening to Elvis’s “Blue Christmas.”…

How often have we heard that portraying Obama as out of touch with the American people constitutes a racially tinged and undertoned use of Otherness?

Just the other day Rick Perry was accused of invoking Otherness when he said Obama had been privileged:

The editors of the San Francisco Chronicle:

The Obama White House’s restrictions on media access to its fundraising  events makes a mockery of its claim to be the most transparent administration in  history.

If anything, there is almost a Nixonian quality to the level of control,  paranoia – and lack of credibility –...

From Gallup, which registers Obama’s lowest approval rating ever:

President Barack Obama’s 11th quarter in office was the worst of his administration, based on his quarterly average job approval ratings. His 41% approval average is down six percentage points from his 10th quarter in office, and is nearly four points below his...

Not long ago The Washington Post was digging up rocks from 30 years ago to find dirt about Rick Perry.

Now WaPo is digging up immigration papers from 50 years ago about Marco Rubio’s parents, Marco Rubio’s compelling family story embellishes facts, documents show.  The gist of WaPo’s dramatic claim is that Rubio’s family did...

The untold or at least not sufficiently told story here is the role of the Canadian firm AdBusters in organizing these protests.  Your links and info. would help me in pulling that story together.

During a visit today, Obama signed the guest book at Westminster Abbey “24 May, 2008.”

I’m impressed that he got the month and day correct.

This will be about a three hour laugh.

Why did he wait so long, almost three years after Clinton supporters first claimed Obama was born abroad, for Obama to release the original documentation?

There certainly were political strategies involved.  But that cannot explain it all.

It was Obama’s enormous ego.  Challenged, he sought to control the dialogue...

So much for our media, which has been telling us — contrary to the actual law as I explained previously– that Obama could not obtain original documents of his own birth records. 

Succumbing to the realization — which I also predicted — that the “Birther” strategy was failing, the White House...

Perhaps this is why Obama was so annoyed when a local Texas reporter asked Obama why he was so unpopular in Texas, found on a car in Austin bearing various liberal bumper stickers:

If Obama is losing the Austin crowd, how long before the base turns on him in Berkeley, Ithaca and Cambridge?

(I can’t find the e-mail from the reader who sent this, so please send again for a proper h/t)

Update:  Thanks to William, a Cornell grad, for the photo above.

Media Matters, as part of its new “get Fox News” agenda, is spinning a tape of Bill Sammons of Fox News made in 2009 as reflecting dishonesty as to “mischievous speculation” in 2008 as to whether Obama had socialist tendencies.  Needless to say, the left-blogsphere has reacted with glee.
