The best campaign counter-attack video I HAVE EVER SEEN. Obama 2012 

”So we’re going to call their BS when we see it and we need your help to call them on it too and set the record straight. So share this, tweet it, facebook it, I keep hearing about tumblr and whatever that is…please use that too. Thank you.”

-Stephanie Cutter / Deputy Campaign Manager at Obama for America.

If he was any smoother he’d slide off the stage.

Barack Obama Reading Where the Wild Things Are: Now in GIF Form

“As writer John Hodgman once said, President Obama is America’s first modern nerd President. He’s a huge Trekkie and loves Superman. A certified nerd.

So when Nichelle Nichols, perhaps best known for her groundbreaking role as Uhura in Star Trek, visited the White House for Black History Month last February, the President and her didn’t just get a photo op together in the Oval Office. Oh no, they got a photo op in which they gave Vulcan salutes.

While flashing a Vulcan salute in public is neither a first for President Obama nor Mrs. Nichols, flashing one in the Oval Office has to be a first for both a sitting U.S. president and a Star Trek star. Perhaps?

The photo was taken back on Feb. 29, but Nichelle Nichols uploaded it to her Twitter earlier this evening, adding, “A photo came to me in the mail that I’ve kept for myself for over a week, but now it’s time to share it with Trekkers everywhere.” Live long and prosper.”

I’m sure you’ve all seen this, but I have to say it’s one of the greatest things ever.  On so many levels.  Awesome.

This isn’t the case currently, but damn, a lot of people sure voted for Obama considering the results didn’t mean all that much.

We asked our members what we think change is. This is what we found.

“He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women,” the third-year Georgetown University law student said on “Andrea Mitchell Reports.” “And what was really personal for me was he said to tell my parents they should be proud. And that meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh had questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me. I appreciated that very much.”

President Barack Obama called Sandra Fluke on Friday to express his concerns to the law student who was called a “slut” by Rush Limbaugh. POLITICO (via brooklynmutt)

That’s the guy I voted for. That, right there.

It is our responsibility as lawmakers and educators to make this system work. But it is the responsibility of every citizen to participate in it. And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country – and this country needs and values the talents of every American. That is why we will provide the support necessary for you to complete college and meet a new goal: by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.

Barack Obama

Notice he’s not talking about just four-year college. What a snob.
