Dana Milbank in The Washington Post: "...Job growth has stalled, the Democrats have been humiliated in Wisconsin, the attorney general is facing a contempt-of-Congress citation, talks with Pakistan have broken down, Bill Clinton is contradicting Obama, Mitt Romney is outraising him, Democrats and Republicans alike are complaining about a “cascade” of national-security leaks from his administration, and he is now on record as saying that the “private sector is doing fine.” Could get any worse? Early Monday morning, Obama learned that it could... " Read it all.

Barack Obama's Diary
Dear Diary: I had hoped for a round of golf at Andrews today, but it was not to be. My staff often remind me that Andrews Air Force base is now called "Joint Base Andrews," but after the recent fuss over my weed-smoking days in Hawaii, Axelrod now rightly deems it wise for me never again to utter the word "Joint."
I had scheduled a lunch with Joe Biden last Friday. But the geezer turned up for breakfast instead. It really is time for me to talk to him about staying on the ticket.
The fuss about me saying the economy is 'fine' will not die down, despite Carney's sterling efforts to silence the media hacks. But at least M. has apparently forgiven me for my joke in L.A. about her push-ups not 'going all the way down.'
There has been pressure on me to say what plans I have for the nation when I am re-elected in November's historic landslide. What I would like to do, of course, is to reword the Constitution, so it says citizens have the Wrong to bear arms. In spite of the enthusiasm my core supporters would have for this, I daren't foreshadow it. The flyovers would bust a gut and then some.
Well, I have already tucked up M. and after a quick prayer to Myself I will, Myself, retire to the Presidential Posturepedic, there to enjoy the soothing delights of Boo-boo, my blankey. Barry luv Boo-boo um-num-num...zzzzz

Barack Obama's Diary
Dear Diary: Another difficult day. Once those GOP attack dogs sink their teeth in, they are like pitbulls. OK... OK I get it. The economy sucks. I have admitted as much, but still they won't back off. Tonight I saw an ad that made me choke on my organically-raised chicken. I had me saying the private sector is doing fine followed by a group of bitter flyovers talking about the jobs they lost. This is plain misleading. I have said that the economy isn't fine but is regaining momentum. We need something new to distract the hordes, maybe I can persuade Joe to commit another juicy gaffe. Or maybe I should use an unannounced drone strike to provoke Hamed Karzai into a passionate ouburst. I forgot my prayer to myself last night which may explain the increasing number of challenges that confronted me today. So I shall pray to myself tonight and then settle in to sleep with Boo-boo my blankey, whose satin touch Barry luvs... um-num-num-um .

Barack Obama's Diary
Dear Diary: With the private sector now doing fine, I was able to enjoy a leisurely round of golf on the links at Fort Belvoir with staffers Brush, Nicholson, and Paulson. Between holes I approved a hit by a drone in northern Waziristan, eliminating one of the subjects on my kill list. I love to multitask. One of the group of historians I have occasionally asked to dinner to reassure me of my immortal place in the history of these United States, has been ratting on me anonymously, accusing me of conceit and hubris. Given my extraordinary talent and abilities, what else am I supposed to do: be humble and self-effacing? Get real. George Clooney told me an old Hollywood aphorism: "If you've got it, flaunt it." M. has warmed slightly towards me today after that unfortunate joke in LA about her not 'going down all the way'. She even allowed me to tuck her up tonight, as is my habit. Now it's time for me, too, to hit the presidential Tempurpedic where my blankey, Boo-boo, awaits. Boo-boo make everything better for Barry...um-num-num-um zzzzz...
High stakes poker
The al-Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab in Somalia has mocked the new $33 million bounty on its top leaders by offering its own bounty for President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton – 10 camels for Obama and 20 hens for Clinton.

What historians think of Obama
Soon after President Obama was elected, he invited a group of historians to dinner: "That evening Mr. Obama revealed the characteristics—arrogance, conceit, egotism, vanity, hubris and, above all, rank amateurism—that would mark his presidency and doom it to frustration and failure."

Bam is splitting the Democrats apart
"What would you call a General who abandoned his troops on the battlefield? I would call him "General Obama". The worst president in American history (Jimmy Carter just breathed a sigh of relief) -- who has set the country up for both fiscal and national security disasters -- is literally tearing the Democrat Party apart...
