Nothing to do with Obama, really but I suppose it will win him praise from Rush(ies) and money in his coffer from his impressed and equally civil base...

Obama on the Tea Party

Posted By Rod Kaufman
The WH responds:

I certainly enjoy reading the comments at the bottom of the link.

Glenn Beck Article

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Lee Spain said:

Time had a pretty interesting article on Glenn Beck. Unfortunately, the article spends way too much time describing Beck and his melodramatic hosting style and too little time reporting whether Glenn Beck is right about the connections between Obama and his circle of czars and advisors.

Obama Approval Ratings: Up!

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Watching a leader of the tea party gang on CNN state just the other day that Obama's approval ratings had dropped off the map, I knew the guy was full of it. Sure enough, CNN's poll of polls demonstrates the truth:
