| Aboard President Obama’s plane, adviser David Plouffe argued that Mitt Romney’s victory in Wednesday’s debate was in part the product of a media desire for a certain narrative. “You guys may disagree with me,” he told the media he was critiquing, but “people are itching to write the Romney comeback story.” Plouffe said it would only be a true comeback if Romney’s poll numbers in key battlegrounds improve. “We thought he did a very theatrically aggressive performance,” he said.

Comments: Add this to the list of lame excuses, little Davie Plouffers is blaming it on the media. Unmitigated bunkum.

You know, you really have to start wondering at some point if Obama's inner circle have ever told the truth about anything in their lives. I'm guessing such habitual lying bleeds over into their family and personal lives as well... these people's lives must be a mess.

It's better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
Thank you, David Plouffe.

Having become comfortable with controlling the 'narrative' through manipulation of the press, Ploufie just KNOWS that the evil Republicans must win the same way. Now he will scold his presstitutes for taking the higher bribe from the Right.

The press, as everyone knows, wants Obama re-elected. What happened last night, however, was simply beyond the reach of the most artful spin. There was no getting around what everyone could see and hear for themselves. Obama's performance was not spin-able at the time. We are just beginning to enter the spin zone 24 hours later. It will be interesting to see how Obama apologists try to work their way out of this one. We can count on them to try their best. Obama, meanwhile, is taking the direct approach: he is carrying on the debate all by himself. Romney was just an annoying distraction anyway.

Last night America got to see Mitt Romney unfiltered through the lens of a media that wants Obama to sail through to re-eletion. When they haven't been telling us how bad Romney is in their 'news' stories, they simply refuse to cover him. Last night there was no way to do those two things.

With the fate of gun control legislation in doubt, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) accused President Obama of using the victims of the Newtown elementary school shootings as “props” to advance an agenda that would have done nothing to prevent the massacre.“I think gun control is a legitimate issue for our country to debate,” he said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast Wednesday morning. But the Kentucky senator said that looking at the parents of Newtown victims who have spoken in favor of gun control legislation, ”I think in some cases the president has used them as props.”

Mindful that Vice President Joseph R. Biden is eyeing the presidency in 2016, President Obama declined a chance Wednesday to endorse Hillary Rodham Clinton for president. “I think we’re very far away from that,” Mr. Obama said on NBC’s “Today” show when asked if he hopes Mrs. Clinton will run. “She’s earned a rest. I know that she’s going to be able, whatever she does, to continue to be a leader and an incredibly positive force for the causes I care about and that she cares about all around the world.”

A Tuesday statement from the Islamist group’s political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party, expressed “condolences to the American people and to the families of victims, with hopes for a quick recovery of those injured.” The party also says that Islamic law “firmly rejects assaults on civilians and doesn’t accept any means of terrorizing people, regardless of their religion, color, or gender

The State Department provided no reason for the change, which was announced just 15 minutes before the scheduled 10 A.M. session, but media reports have said that a Saudi national in the U.S. on a student visa is a "person of interest" to investigators probing the bombings at the Boston Marathon on Monday. The person being investigated was badly injured in the attack, sources said.

US Attorney General Eric Holder issued the course-reversing directive -- made public today -- without citing a rationale for his shift. Now Colombo wiseguy Joel "Joe Waverly" Cacace, 72, will face a maximum penalty of life in prison if he´s convicted at his upcoming mob murder trial in Brooklyn federal court.

President Barack Obama’s second term has so far been a story of high liberal hopes and scant liberal achievements. The president has been re-elected, demographic trends favor the growth of his coalition, his party has a technological edge, and his opposition is confused and divided. One might therefore expect Obama to be enacting the legislative agenda of that rising coalition. Yet the White House has to be disappointed, whatever it says, by the way the second term has been going.

Protocol: President Obama declined to send a high-level delegation to Wednesday´s funeral of Britain´s Margaret Thatcher. It´s a measure of how little he values the special relationship — and a sign of his own smallness. Back in more gracious times, vice presidents routinely attended funerals of foreign dignitaries. As such, the presence of Vice President Joe Biden — if not Obama himself — would seem fitting for as significant a U.S. ally as the late Prime Minister Thatcher, if not out of warmth of feeling, then simply to represent the U.S.´ gratitude.

At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast on Tuesday, Kelly said he would back an opponent to Flake if the "right candidate" was available and if the senator failed to support a background check bill, according to reports. Flake, who is not up for reelection until 2018, has been close to Kelly and Giffords. But Kelly said the issue of control trumped their ties.

"I think we’ve got a good chance of seeing it pass if members of Congress are listening to the American people," President Obama said in an interview on NBC´s "Today Show" that aired on Tuesday. "The notion that Congress would defy the overwhelming instinct of the American people after what we saw happen in Newtown, I think, is unimaginable." Obama was then asked by Savannah Guthrie how he could expect Democrats in red states to vote on this bill when he, as a Senator, didn´t have to himself.

As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.
