Obama Approval Falls as Unemployment Rises
By Emily MillerA new poll released Thursday shows that President Obama's approval rating slipped following news that the country lost another 467,000 jobs last month. Meanwhile, Obama supporter Warren Buffet said on ABC Thursday morning that he predicts the current 9.5 percent unemployment rate still "has a ways to go" before it peaks. ...
Yanqui, Don't Go Home! Race, Gender, Oil and Honduras
By Carl M. Cannon
Too bad we're fixated on Michael Jackson (not my thing) and Sarah Palin (mea culpa) because the power play taking place right now in little ole Honduras has a bit of everything, including the politics of race, gender, oil, democracy, and Yankee imperialism. Toss into our high-drama soap opera a Nobel Laureate, the human lightning rod known as Hillary Clinton, a martyred Honduran boy, and the first black president of the United States, and, well, the Honduras coup has something for everyone. ...
Obama to World: We're Back and Ready to Ratify
By Jill LawrenceIn Russia and Italy this week, President Obama is taking steps on nuclear weapons and climate change that are in line with his pledge to rebuild U.S. alliances around the world. It's a window on what we could see in the next four to eight years: The birth of new treaties and the revival of old ones that have long been stalled, some for decades. ...
Michael Jackson, Grover Norquist and Denny's: Politics Dailies - July 7
By Michael KraskinI am very pleased to say that after months of waiting, conservative activist Grover Norquist has accepted my friend request on Facebook. He's a fan of Sean Hannity, which I have to say, I would not have guessed. The average work week for an American is 33 hours. If you're trying to figure out what this means, it's terrifying. Americans now prefer generic Republicans to generic Democrats. Enjoyed this tweet from lillieyiyuan Tuesday, and not just because it linked back to us: "Palin quit 5 schools, a city, a board, a state. Obama is trying to quit smoking. http://tr.im/reDh" Having dealt with ...
In Moscow, Sasha Obama Wakes Parents To Chat
By Lynn SweetPresident Obama reports that daughters Sasha and Malia are having a great time in Moscow during the second international swing of their summer vacation. Sasha was so excited that she woke her folks up at 4 a.m. to talk about the trip. ...
Barack Obama and the Little Memoirs That Could
By Robert Schmuhl
As the last presidential campaign gathered steam in 2007 and barreled full throttle through 2008, I kept saying to anyone who'd listen: Polls don't tell the whole story. Keep an eye on the best-seller list. Besides raising money, hiring a staff and divining a strategy, every serious White House candidate nowadays also has to provide an antidote to the ever-shrinking sound bite: a book. Word is out that Mitt Romney is composing another volume (following his 2004 "Turnaround") timed to hit bookshelves well before 2012 dawns. But what made 2007 and 2008 distinctive was the sustained ...
Frederick Douglass' July 4 Challenge Answered
By Carl M. Cannon
Martin Luther King Jr., in his famous 1963 "I Have a Dream" speech on the National Mall, memorably described the Declaration of Independence as a "promissory note" that had guaranteed freedom to Americans of every color. Redeeming that note required a bloody Civil War. Redeeming it fully required a Second American Revolution -- the civil rights movement. ...
Obama's 'Common Ground': Slogan or Substance?
By Robert Schmuhl
While the Obama administration seeks without much sloganeering success to brand itself as the "New Foundation," another often-uttered two-word phrase more tellingly defines the early months of this presidency. ...
Obama, Wolverine, and Rising Unemployment: Politics Dailies - June 29
By Michael KraskinMeghan McCain wants you to forgive Mark Sanford. Wasn't Huckleberry Finn a troubled youth? Hardly the image I would invoke to describe "a picture-perfect political family." E.J. Dionne argues which is stronger: stone tablets or an iron will. The Supreme Court may be doing its part to add some extra money into the economy in 2012. Three superhero comic book reviews: Wolverine, Batwoman and Obama. One more unemployed American. Does this mean Jonathan Tobin is hoping the other four justices fall ill? And lastly, watch old media and new media duke it out on CNN: ...
Forty Years After Stonewall, That Lavender Hour Uncertain
By James DaubsMonday night in the East Room of the White House, President Obama meets with gay and lesbian leaders to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. It represents the first time Stonewall has ever been officially recognized in the White House. Press secretary Robert Gibbs has said that no substantive announcements are expected at the reception. (The president will not, in other words, officially legalize same-sex marriage in all 50 states; being a president and not, alas, a Supreme Leader, he has no authority to do so. Nor is he likely to apologize for his supposed foot-dragging on ...
