7 stories Obama does not want told
Which means the media will probably never tell them. But, let's just say someone lost that chill up the leg, or didn't think the President and the first lady looked so gosh darned stunning. What would be the stories Obama doesn't want out for public consumption? The Politico has an article out that covers just that - including one thing about Obama's apparent lack of emotion that has bothered Glenn for some time now. Ref. Source 1
President Obama spoke with USA TODAY and The Detroit Free Press
President Obama spoke with USA TODAY and The Detroit Free Press today in an interview that covered a wide variety of important issues. On his safety in the wake of the state dinner security breach, Obama said of the Secret Service, "I trust them 100%, not just with me but with my wife and my children." And on the job outlook for minorities, he said he does not want to think in terms of "particular ethnic segments of the United States rather than to think that we are all in this together." Ref.

Obama poll hits new low
It's the soonest a president has dropped this low in the polls (47%) dating back to President Truman.

How did Press Secretary Gibbs react when asked about the poll? HINT: 'Six year olds' and 'crayons' are included in his response. Ref. Source 1
Say what you will about GWB, but at least his decision to send about 30,000 additional troops to Iraq didnt require as long as it is taking to agree to send 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. Not to mention, GWB wouldnt tell the enemy how long they would be there for and how much it cost.
The only thing that would have saved his most recent speach to the american public would have been after he announced a pull back date and fielded the first question about the wisdom of telling our enemy when we are going to pull out of Afghanistan is if he said "well, I forgot to mention that the majority of the Taliban will be exterminated 3 months prior to the pullout date, so there will be little risk".
International Level: International Guru / Political Participation: 863 86.3%
His next move is to try and stay as far away from the Lyndon B Johnson, Jimmy Carter and GWB analogies as possible, because if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it probably is a duck.

Journalists attack...Obama?
Journalists seemed to go on a little break right about the time of the election. Instead of focusing their resources on sensitive troop locations and fake National Guard memos about the President - they've put their feet up and kicked back. Why bother? President Obama is perfect! Well, it appears that the skies might be getting ready to open up again. Are the journalists starting to actually criticize this President?
