Middle America Cheers For Sandra Bullock Listening to National Public Radio handicap the Academy Award Best Actress Nominees, it’s clear that media and Hollywood elites think the movie The Blind Side has too much mass appeal and not enough edginess to win any serious awards. Within hours of the announcement of Oscar nominations, the Hollywood press had mostly condescending analysis of Sandra Bullock’s portrayal of Leigh Anne Tuohy, a real-life suburban woman who intervenes in a troubled teenager’s life.

huffington post/front page Obama’s Popularity Isn’t Translating Into Progress The White House staff should never allow Barack Obama to go to Copenhagen again. The last time Obama went to Copenhagen the United States got thrown out of the 2016 Olympic bidding process in the first round. This last week, Obama went to Copenhagen for the UN Climate Change Conference and he lost an international agreement on one of his priority issues. If Obama can’t convince the international community to go along with one of his signature issues then the President’s clout isn’t what some Americans claim it is. Other than…

USC.AnnenbergSchool/grenell CNN ran an op-ed by Richard Grenell of the USC Annenberg School about the challenges President Obama faces. “President Obama is in a unique position these days. As a Democratic president of the United States, he has a House of Representatives with 258 Democrats and only 177 Republicans and a Senate with 58 Democrats and only 40 Republicans,” Grenell wrote. “Obama is laying out a new Afghanistan policy and will be able to count on the Republicans to make sure it is funded.

i can’t keep up with the facebook messages, text mesages and emails that i keep receiving from my liberal friends. their messages aren’t the typical partisan banter that i usually get….their screaming and indignation has reached a level that i haven’t seen in my lifetime. my journalists friends have also reached a new high with their inability to keep their outrage from showing. i’ve exchanged phone calls or emails over the last 24 hours with reporters from cnn, abc, cbs, ap, the new york times, the la times, the washington post, politico and several bloggers and in every instance the…
