From AnnArbor.com, a report on a letter published in the Detroit News/Detroit Free Press by Mitt Romney where he skewers President Obama for not having any business experience. We love the part where the reporter notes that Romney wrote an editorial in the NYT at the depths of the auto crisis in 2008 entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." Does that reflect good business sense? We wonder, what chance has he of winning Michigan?
Might be a little early to crow, but news from the Commerce Department today says in the last quarter the economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.8% up from the previous quarter by 1%.
Talking Points Memo with a followup to the State of the Union address, stated, "President Obama’s State of the Union address was premised on two political bets: that there’s a broad national appetite, spanning conservative and liberal ideologies, for certain populist reforms; and that Republicans in Congress are too deeply committed to opposing his agenda to back those reforms."

Jonathan Atler, at the Washington Post tries to dispel "Five myths about Barack Obama" and we think he almost accomplishes the task (with the exception of #3 that we think doesn't even belong on the list).
Now, here's a headline in the Washington Post we didn't expect to see: "Romney and the rest are far to the right of Bush."
Talking Points Memo's Brian Beutler reveals why Romney says "income inequity...has no place in our political debate" because it's going to be a central theme of President Obama's campaign.
This is what it's all about folks. Ruth Marcus at the Washington Post reminds us what this Presidential and Legislative campaign really is all about.
Okay, this you've got to see. Talking Points Memo has a piece on "Mitt-isms" some of which are a stitch. "I'm also unemployed" takes the cake as far as we're concerned.
We think this article is a little unusual, but for those few of you who might have a little bit of geek, here's an opportunity to discover something about our elected officials that might end up turning one of them out of office, but like anything rewarding, it'll take you a lot more work than we're willing to devote ( although we've downloaded a .zip file we can hardly wait to open).
