The First Lady now has a Twitter account . Or, rather, President Barack Obama ‘s reelection campaign has created an account using Michelle Obama ‘s name. “This account is run by # Obama2012 campaign staff. Tweets from the First Lady are signed -mo.,” the bio of @michelleobama reads. The first tweet was sent out around 8 a.m Thursday, simply announcing the creation of the account. It currently has just over 4,000 followers. As has been demonstrated time and time again, social media can lead to disaster in the hands of public figures (think Anthony Weiner and, more recently , Ron Paul ). Let’s see if Michelle can handle the power.

Comedian Jon Stewart embarked on a USO tour in Afghanistan over the summer. In an interview with “Newsweek,” he said there was nothing “not humbling” about it. Stewart also joked that the men and women risking their lives overseas needlessly thanked him as if he were “the real hero”: “It’s an incredible experience,” he says. “From the first one that I ever did until now, always the thing that strikes you the most is they’re thankful you’re there. It’s the most shocking part.” He shakes his head. “They’ll say to you, ‘Thank you so much.’ The guy who’s been clearing mines in Helmand province and has just lost a leg. ‘Hey, thank you so much.’ And you’re like, Really? You want to say, ‘You know, you’re right, I am the real hero here. Coming down to see you. You know that traffic on I-95? That Delaware Corridor? That is never not backed up.’” Read the full story here .

Former libertarian vice presidential candidate Wayne Root has a great column out today criticizing President Obama for his lofty vantage point of the nation’s economy. While the White House and TV pundits are talking about the possibility of a “double-dip” recession, many of us are still waiting for a rebound from the first: Obama finally got something right. Can you believe it? In a recent interview, Obama said he is confident we will not enter a double dip recession. Brilliant Sherlock. That is because we never left the first dip. Only Obama could get something so right, because he is so wrong. While Obama, Fed Chief Bernanke, Treasury Secretary Geithner, and various other Obama economists, lackeys and socialist cabal members drone on about double dip, or not to double dip, common folks on Main Street understand that there has never been a recovery. The continuing Great Recession started on Bush’s watch in 2007 and has never ended. Like Herbert Hoover, another Republican President who panicked, and failing Capitalism 101, abandoned fiscal conservative principles, George W. Bush turned to big government to “save us.” And as usual, the more government tries to save us, the worse it gets. So Bush channeled Hoover, starting the bailouts, stimulus, and insane levels of spending and government intervention. Then, just when you thought it could not get any worse, along came Obama with his “Axis of Evil” game plan. What is the “Axis of Evil,” you ask? It is the principles to which Obama’s life is dedicated: Taxation, Regulation, Government Strangulation, Unionization and Litigation. Continue reading…
