Obama and I Everyday

We have a standing appointment. Multiple times a day, I type "Obama" into my google search bar at the top of my browser. Then I select the news feed to avoid any edited images of him (for good or for bad) and his "Change We Need" personal website. I'm sure it has a lot of information...how truthful it is is anyone's guess.

Today's news stories include:

• Obama and Gov. Paterson's interaction and the confusion of most people on why exactly the President is now exerting his influence over the Governor race of New York.
• Obama is considering a strategy shift in the war in Afghanistan...oh really? It's about time. When our president was a lowly candidate, he seemed to give the impression that he knew exactly what needed to be done in both Iraq and Afghanistan, while criticizing the troop surge that was WORKING under President Bush's administration.
• Oh, ever so important, Obama's appearance on Letterman gave him the edge in the ratings!
• "Obama pushes peace in extraordinary meeting between Israel and Palestine..." Um really? Name a president living or dead who hasn't met with both sides of that eternal issue?
• This looks promising: Wall Street Journal opinion page "Obama and the Politics of Concession: Iran and Russia put Obama to the test last week, and he blinked twice." http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204488304574426880110463194.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

And then I blog or FB note it or just open window after window and take it all in! I love it. Obama, you give me something to search the news for! If only because I want to be overly informed on your every move when I talk to your supporters. Because they don't have much to say in reply.
