1 hour ago | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
On Wednesday, the Morning Joe panel took a look at a new anti-Obama ad put out by the Romney campaign saying that President Obama is "giving taxpayer money to big donors," and paying special attention to the Solyndra failure. While host Joe Scarborough felt that the Romney campaign has put forth some very good, "moving and compelling" ads in the past, this particular one, was less than stellar.

Michelle Obama Weighs In On President's Past Drug Use
8 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
First Lady Michelle Obama weighed in on recent revelations about her husband's past drug use on Tuesday, acknowledging that President Obama realized at a young age that he "could do more with his life."
During an appearance on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" to promote her new cookbook, the First Lady was asked by host Jon Stewart about the president's high school and college years. An excerpt released last week from David Maraniss's forthcoming biography of the president contained details about Obama's marijuana use as a teenager. Stewart joked that the stories about the president as a young man resembled the "script of a Cheech and Chong movie."
While the First Lady didn't directly address the claims in Maraniss' book, she did say that her husband underwent a change during his college years.
"By the time he was in college, like so many young people, he realized that »

Wolf Blitzer to Donald Trump: 'You're beginning to sound a little ridiculous.'
10 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Beginning?
Ugh, both of you: Shut up. Shut up! Shut Up Shut Up Shut Up Shut Up Shut Up.
More birther nonsense on CNN today. (Don’T) Watch it here:
If you can make it through more than a few seconds of this “conversation” about President Obama’s birth certificate between Wolf Blitzer and bloviating ignoramus Hair of the Dog Wigster, you may notice something I hadn’t before: Donald Trump’s favorite word is “many.”
I thought it was “money”!
Is this killing you or are you okay? Do you want to kill me because I’m perpetuating the problem? »

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Tangles With Donald Trump Over Obama’s Birth Place: Video
15 hours ago | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
What can you say about Donald Trump‘s refusal to accept that President Obama was born in Hawaii? Even though the president has released his birth certificate, The Donald dug in his heels in an interview with CNN‘s Wolf Blitzer. ”If you’d report it accurately, you’d probably get better ratings which are pretty small,” Trump said. Probably not the kind of publicity that Gop presidential candidate Mitt Romney wants leading into his appearance tonight at a fundraiser with the star of NBC’s The Apprentice.

Mitt Romney is taking a lot of heat for appearing with Donald Trump at a campaign fundraiser on May 29. On May 27, conservative pundit George Will questioned the wisdom of such a move and didn’t pull any punches in insulting Trump, who’s continued to raise the birther issue about President Obama. “I do not understand the cost-benefit here,” Will said on ABC’s This Week. “The costs are clear. The benefit — what voter is going to vote for him because he is seen with Donald Trump? The cost of appearing with this bloviating ignoramus is obvious, it seems to me. »

Megyn Kelly Panelist Compares Obama Campaign Slogan To New Coke: ‘Nobody Likes It’
19 hours ago | Mediaite - TV | See recent Mediaite - TV news »
Barack Obama's previous, successful commitment to "Hope" and "Change" places his campaign in a rather difficult position this election. As The Hill very eloquently phrases it, the lack of a clear (and catchy!) 2012 campaign slogan is "raising worries among his supporters — and hopes among Republicans — that he is having trouble articulating a concise case for a second term." Fox News' Megyn Kelly took some to discuss all this today on America Live. »
