Obama Leaves Beltway Bubble to Visit Ordinary Americans; The Trip Was Short
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyWith all the partisan bickering going on in Washington, it seems only natural that President Barack Obama -- like so many other presidents before him -- would yearn to get beyond the Beltway and hear the concerns of ordinary Americans. On Monday, the commander in chief did just that -- sort of.

The residence is beyond the Beltway, but only just so -- about 14 miles from the White House. "You're in a bubble when you're president," Obama ...

Joe the Plumber Doesn't Know He's an Anti-Union Stooge?
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyJoe the Plumber is a nice guy, but up until now, he's contributed little of value to the national political dialog. All that has changed, now, with his statement to a reporter about his opposition to card check legislation:(h/t Dennis DiClaudio)Joe, as Wonkette points out, is on the road shilling for management, but wearing workin' man's drag. This has always been my problem with Joe. Without a big assist from John McCain, Joe the Plumber would just be another nice, ill-informed guy on a construction site. Instead, the Republicans use him as a way to dupe others into believing that they ...
