The Art of Being Presidential
Political Wire points us to Marc Ambinder’s Why The President Went Golfing Today which covers Obama’s Presidential non-response to the attempted terrorist attack. Let the authorities do their work.

Republicans Get Their Stoopid On
Part One: Many of you probably heard about the attempted terrorist attack on an airplane landing in Detroit, but what you might not have heard about was Republican Congressman Pete Hoekstra’s recent inanity.
