Obama chews with his mouth closed. You should too.
Single-serving tumblr of the day also teaches table manners.
I love the Internet.

Obama told the crowd that his famed “Hope” poster from the 2008 campaign was based on a photograph of Obama sitting next to Clooney when Obama was a U.S. senator. Clooney had been in Washington advocating on behalf of Darfur.
“This is the first time that George Clooney has ever been photo-shopped out of a picture,” Obama said. “Never happened before, never happen again.”
President Obama poking fun at George Clooney during their Thursday night fundraiser at Clooney’s house. I love that our president acknowledges the ungodly beauty of The Clooney.

Great cover.
The New York Times explains that private sector growth is not the source of sluggish job gains in the U.S. The problem is in the public sector: government jobs have been cut at local, state, and federal levels.
So the next time you hear the phrase “big government,” know two things: (1) It’s a lie, and (2) Some government cuts are part of the problem.

Will more prominent, respected conservatives come out of the woodwork to defend Obamacare’s constitutionality? This is the fifth.
“The individual health mandate surely passes constitutional muster under settled judicial principles. The Constitution’s Commerce Clause grants Congress the authority “to regulate commerce … among the several States.” The Court’s precedents establish without question that Congress may regulate intrastate economic activities that Congress (not the Court) reasonably concludes have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. The existence of such congressional authority is especially clear when the challenged provision itself is part of a comprehensive legislative scheme that regulates interstate commerce.”

I hope Barack Obama originally adopts a dog just to make his daughters happy but ends up kind of falling in love with the fluffy thing.
Happy third anniversary, Bo.

Taken 2/29/12 in the Oval Office - Live Long & Prosper!Someone emailed this to us with the subject line: “Tumblr worthy?” Yes. We would say so.
Practically crying because nerd president + classy actress/civil rights champion = the most epic Resolute Desk photo op imaginable. Geeking out in the Oval Office for the win.
The Republicans are going to feel pretty stupid for spending the last three years fusing “Obama” and “care” in the public mind.
As David Axelrod put it the other day:
“Can you imagine if the opposition called Social Security ‘Roosevelt Security’? Or if Medicare was ‘LBJ-Care’? Seriously, have these guys ever heard of the long view?”
Amen to this!
