A LOOK AT OBAMA’S CURRENT MEDIA STRATEGY: “As Ben Smith points out, during the campaign, Obama played down any notion of his opposition as extreme, confrontational, or otherwise divisive. In essence, he didn’t want America to become afraid of him as a candidate due to his being too controversial. But things have changed.”

CHARLIE MARTIN ON political threats theater. “Talking Points Memo, Daily Kos, and other paradigmatic left-side blogs are collapsing in waves of maidenly vapors over this. . . . It’s political theater, and poor theater at that.”
