Crass Obama Campaign 'Event Registry' Barely Registers Any Establishme
This one of the most obvious "if the shoe were on the other foot" items I've seen in some time.

Most of the Truth About Obama's Business International 'Embellishments

The count of prominent Democratic Party politicians who have decided not to attend the Democratic Party's convention in Charlotte, thereby attempting to avoid direct association with the formal renomination of incumbent President Barack Obama, is up to seven.

AEI's Pethokoukis Slices, Dices, and Destroys WaPo's Romney-Outsourcin

CBS Plays Up Romney's 'Secret Summit'; Barely Mentioned Obama's NYC Fu
CBS This Morning on Friday spun Mitt Romney's upcoming meeting in Utah with prominent Republicans and top fundraisers as a "secret summit."

The Wall Street Journal reported that “U.S. job growth slowed sharply in May, the latest indication that the economy has lost momentum.”

ABC Reporter's Book Review: Obama's 'Unreliable' Retelling of His Own
According to ABC's Jon Karl, Barack Obama's retelling of his own life in Dreams Of My Father has been exposed as "unreliable."
