Unpossible! The Rush Limbaugh led Republicans say that President Obama is losing the American people… but the facts disagree.
The American public gives President Barack Obama a strong 67% approval rating for the way in which he is handling the government’s efforts to pass an economic stimulus bill, while the Democrats and, in particular, the Republicans [...]

The latest sign that the Senate needs to quit diddling around and pass the stimulus is here.
The country moved into its second year of uninterrupted job losses last month, with companies shedding another 598,000 jobs — the most since December 1974 — and the unemployment rate moving up to 7.6 percent, the Labor Department reported [...]

POTUS Writes

President Obama has written an op-ed about the stimulus package in the Washington Post.
In recent days, there have been misguided criticisms of this plan that echo the failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis — the notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems; that we can meet our enormous tests [...]
Howard Fineman, STFU

I realize it’s Super Bowl weekend and Fineman’s looking for a hook. But this one trying to put President Obama and Steelers coach Mike Tomlin in the same boat is ridiculous. God bless Mike Tomlin’s accomplishments on the football field, but he’s the head coach of a football team. He’s part of the entertainment [...]

Republican response to the Democratic president’s budget proposal.
Now, Republicans and some Democrats in Congress heard the message you sent us last November. You wanted us to cut spending first — and we had a plan to do just that. It was a good plan. We tried to eliminate the President’s requested tax increases. We tried [...]
Above Limbaugh’s Game

I’m not a big fan, but Michael Wolff nails what President Obama is doing by invoking Rush Limbaugh’s name. Like Rove, Rush is more hype than anything. And Limbaugh has not tangled with someone at President Obama’s level, not even Bill Clinton. At some point, we’re going to carve this into the White House lawn:
I [...]

Bwahahaha
President Barack Obama expressed frustration Wednesday after members of his cabinet failed to recognize his allusion to the 24th issue of the comic series Savage Sword Of Conan during their first major meeting together.
Obama, whose upcoming challenges include organizing a massive effort to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, was reportedly unprepared for the confused silence he [...]

All this handwringing reminds me so much of the campaign, when in some quarters people were comparing Obama to Michael Dukakis when at that very same point in the race we now know he had it in the bag.
Look, while President Obama is the top Democrat in the nation now, he is also the leader [...]

Dear Obama White House Web Team: This Is Not Acceptable

Sorry guys, but press briefing “highlights” don’t fly. While appealing from an aesthetic POV, the White House web site has been a clunker in the one department it can’t be: information. That means full transcripts of press briefings (and video), full text of presidential speeches, proclamations, etc. Its one of the few things the Bushies [...]

President Obama gives an interview to Arabic station Al-Arabiya. Frankly based on what I’ve read about what actually gets watched in the middle east, he should have gone on Al Jazeera. But any step is a good one here.

Fixin’ it.
President Barack Obama began reversing the climate policies of the Bush administration on Monday, clearing the way for new rules to force auto makers to produce more fuel-efficient and less polluting cars.
The president told the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider immediately a request by California to impose its own strict limits on vehicle carbon [...]
