White House Correspondents Dinner Weekend: It's a Wrap
By Annie Groer - Politics DailyPresident Obama used the glitzy White House Correspondents' Association dinner Saturday night to take a few shots at himself, his staff, the press and, of course, the Republicans. In turn, many of the 2,700 guests from the increasingly overlapping worlds of media, politics and celebrity used the annual black-tie dinner to anchor more than a dozen other weekend parties with heavy groupie overtones. Obama, who by many accounts upstaged the headliner, Jay Leno, spoke first. "There are few thing in life that are harder to find and more important to keep than love," he deadpanned. "Well, love ...
1 Year Later, How's Obama Doing?
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL NewsWhether or not Tuesday's voting turns out to be a referendum on President Obama, people are already making it clear how they feel about his job performance one year after his election. Obama has a 54 percent approval rating in a new CNN poll, nearly matching the 53 percent of the vote he got last November. What's changed in a year is that he's gained popularity among liberals and lost it among conservatives. And while the president remains above 50 percent in overall approval, most of the Americans CNN surveyed don't like the way he's dealt with such key issues as unemployment, health care ...
HuffPost, the White House and the New Media

By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyCaleb Howe is in a self-promotional frenzy over at RedState, trying to steal the thunder from another righty whiner who didn't like it when Awianna was mean to him:What is it with Democrats and airplanes? Stephen Bainbridge writes today about what happened when Arianna arrived in a huffpo and bypassed boarding with the peons. By bypassed, I mean she just pretended they didn't exist and line-jumped without a word. Well not without any words ... she was, after all, yakking on her cell phone. From Professor Bainbridge:Allow me to paraphrase the prof: "Wahhh!"First, let me say this to Caleb, whose ...

Arianna Huffington says it wasn't George Bush: Original Post: At a dinner party in Los Angeles not long after the 2000 election, I was talking to a man and his wife, both prominent Republicans.
