Ok, I’m totally for serious:
On top of Scott Brown, the breakdown of healthcare, the Supreme Court decision on campaign finance, we now get Obama’s decision to continue the Hotel California policies of indefinite detention (“you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave”) and the news that Ben Bernanke might not [...]

Obama to propose limits on risk taken by banks.
A charismatic popular President with a Democratic Congress started with an attempt to overhaul healthcare and end the generation-long shift to the right in America.  He failed.  Instead of continuing to think big, he moves on to little things that are tremendously popular, and are good policy, [...]

The belief that there is a major disagreement among scientists whether global warming is man made or not is a propagated lie from the US coal and oil industries. Their goal has been to create doubt about the science of climet change and present it as a theory rather than fact. A distinguished climate scientist, [...]

Have you heard? With a simple iPhone app (which is short for application-thank you Jimmy Kimmel) you too can sound like T-Pain, the man who brought you wonderful songs such as I’m On A Boat. It’s this awesome thing called auto tune and T-Pain uses it on Obama to bring out his musical side. I [...]

I really think Sarah Palin is insane. If You are not following her on twitter, I highly recommend that you do. Her cryptically worded tweets give me hours of entertainment daily (it really does take that long to decipher what she is trying to say…) But what is good is that most tweets are basically [...]

“I don’t know why President Obama thought that was appropriate. Maybe he thought it would play well in Japan. But it’s not appropriate for an American president to bow to a foreign one,” said conservative pundit William Kristol on Fox News Sunday. This was in response to the President’s greeting of Japanese Emperor Akihito. Despite [...]

On Sunday afternoon, Organizing for America (OFA) sent an email to supporters asking them to write thank you letters to their representatives for voting for H.R. 3962, the health insurance reform bill. I am not sure why I got this email, because my representative did not vote for health insurance reform—but not because she [...]

Is it going to rain? Will it snow?
As students at the University of Michigan, these are the questions we grapple with on a daily basis.  Michigan’s weather, as we are all aware, is more than temperamental and requires constant vigilance. Don’t worry! President Obama, our fearless leader, has again come to our rescue… well, he’s [...]

Despite being in office for a little over 8 months, President Barack Obama was the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, CNN reports. An honor that has not been bestowed upon a sitting US President since Woodrow Wilson won in 1919, the prize comes as a shock to most observers, including the President himself.
This [...]

 
So, American President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao have both given their much-anticipated speeches at the UN Summit on Climate Changecalled by Secretary General Ban Ki Moon. It was hoped that the leaders would offer signs of progress that would build momentum for the conference in Copenhagen this December. The international community is [...]

Today, Barack Obama will renominate Ben Bernanke to his post as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. This is a good move by our president, so some kudos are in order here.
Ben Bernanke may be one of the most boring men to hit CSPAN (see video below), but that’s to be expected from a Fed Chairman. [...]

College Democrats at the University of Michigan join the Pro-Health Care Protest in Jackson
Ann Arbor, MI – The College Democrats at the University of Michigan (UMCD) will rally in support of health care reform this afternoon in Jackson, MI.  UMCD has mobilized its members to push for President Barack Obama’s health care plan and will [...]

I know you all are probably a little sick of recaps of Obama’s first 100 days, but Slate has, by far, the most amusing recap I’ve seen. They’ve put together what Obama’s fbook newsfeed would look like. Check out the full piece here.

Have you seen the picture of Bo Obama, the new First Dog? Can you get any more adorable?!? Also, The Washington Post posted the photo (see above) on their website of Barack and Bo running through the White House. That’s one lucky dog. To read more about Presidential Pets, check out The Daily Beast’s photo [...]

Actor Kal Penn, whom most of us met during the campaign, will soon be working in the White House as the associate director of the White House office of public liaison. Penn, who has said he wishes to enter politics, likes public service, despite the significant pay cut, because of what his grandparents taught him:
It’s [...]
