Obama in full, and full of it
(Scott Johnson) President Obama appeared on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart the day before yesterday. Video of the extended full episode (I think) is posted below. Obama is playing before a friendly audience and Stewart does everything but give him a French kiss. He wants to, but modesty somehow intrudes.

Carly Shows How It's Done
(John Hinderaker) Reporters love to cross-examine Republicans about social issues and their supposedly "extreme" positions.
