After ObamaCare Win, NYT's Landler Praises Obama for Expanding 'Safety

Landler was passionate about the "change we can believe in" wrought by the president through the Affordable Care Act, which Landler called his expansion of the "nation's safety net"…
Conservative Arguments Against ObamaCare 'Misguided, If Not Frivolous
New York Times legal reporter Adam Liptak used his Friday lead (five other reporters contributed research) on Obama-care being upheld at the Supreme Court to take another crack at the argument by conservatives and libertarians, the so-called broccoli argument "as misguided, if not frivolous."
Conservatives took comfort from two parts of the decision: the new limits it placed on federal…
Tonight Show Airs Mock Video of Obama Dancing in White House After Hea
Barack Obama, in his statement after Thursday's Supreme Court ruling upholding the individual mandate in his healthcare legislation, did his best not to appear that he was spiking the football.

AP Report on WH Bus Tour Plans Reads Like a Campaign Press Release
It seems that there will be little reason for the Obama campaign to bother issuing press releases as long as Julie Pace of the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, is around to breathlessly relay the information for them as some kind of exclusive, insider report.
If there's any difference between campaign hype and what Pace wrote in a theoretically objective news piece, it must…

Time Magazine: Romney Is 'Too Focused' on the Economy
It might sound ridiculous, but Time magazine writer Michael Crowley actually grumbled in an article on Monday that the GOP presidential candidate is “One-Note Mitt” Romney, whose campaign defines this year's election as merely “a referendum on Obama's handling of the economy.”
