World Warming to America Since Obama's Election, Poll Shows
By David Sessions - Politics DailyA new BBC poll shows that people in 28 countries have a more positive view of the United States since Barack Obama was elected in November 2008. It is the first time in the five-year history of the poll, which calculates world opinion of various nations, that American influence has been viewed as more positive than negative. Out of 30,000 people interviewed between November 2009 and February 2010, 40 percent view the United States favorably, another jump in an upward trend that began shortly after Obama's election. In 2009, 35 percent of respondents had a favorable view of the United States, ...
Dick Cheney In a Tie With President Obama on Gay Marriage
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyFormer Vice President Dick Cheney, in an appearance today at the National Press Club, offered support for marriage equality:"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone," replied the former V.P. "As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don't support. I do believe that the historically the way marriage has been regulated ...
Stimulus! 'Obama Burgers' Selling Like Hotcakes at Five Guys
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyAs I reported yesterday, Barack Obama's burger jaunt was cause for inter-network sparring, but for the burger joint in question, everything's coming up roses...or should I say, O'ses. (Sorry, that was my homework for Local TV News Copy 101.)According to a source at the Five Guys Restaurant, the President's visit has resulted in a more-than-doubling of business, and "everybody wants the 'Obama Burger.'" They even had to stay open last night to satisfy the demand.The "Obama Burger" is the unofficial (for now) designation for a cheesburger with lettuce, tomato, mustard, and jalapenos. There was ...

He was accompanied by an NBC News film crew.The subject of the President's trip came up at today's White House Press Briefing, where CBS' Mark Knoller cast a suspicious eye at the "day in the life" burger run, prompting a quick rejoinder from NBC's Chuck Todd:Here's the video of the President's visit to Five Guys: ...
Grey Poupon-Gate: President Obama's Burger Too Fancified For Hannity
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyI was gonna go with the title, "Hannity Smears Obama with Mustard," but I used that on another idiotic conservative food smear.First, there was Michelle Obama's imaginary lobster-n-caviar mid-afternoon snack. More recently, there was the bogus pizza story. Still, the right-wingnutocracy can't get enough of what Barack Obama is putting in his mouth. Paging Dr. Freud? Or maybe Wolfgang Puck?Sean, the President asked for spicy mustard, and mentioned Dijon mustard as a backup. If you check your "Fallutin' Level" flashcards, you'll see that in order to qualify as effete, Dijon must be your first ...
