Politics: Obama’s trying to get better at handling right-wing attacks

  • In a world with Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and the Drudge Report and everything else that makes up the right-wing noise machine, nothing is clean and nothing is simple. You don’t stomp a story out. You ride the wave and try to steer it to safe water.
  • An Obama administration official • Regarding the attacks that the administration often faces from the right. The administration often finds itself on the wrong side of issues they find absurd and borderline laughable. They managed to win the battle with Obama’s speech to students last week, but are working on ways to handle it in the future, as the right is trying VERY hard to discredit him right now. • source

About, Politics: Why we’re adding a “Chatter” category

  • Ultimately, we need a spot for opinion. We’ve been wavering back and forth on this for a while, and while we do a pretty good job covering the news, there are some pretty smart things being said by columnists and bloggers worldwide that should get their due, too. And when we have an opinion – left or right – we should have a spot for it, too. Someone actually asked about this a couple weeks ago, and we didn’t have a good reason why we didn’t. Seems necessary in this day and age. Like it? Dislike it? Post your opinion here.
