From Joan Walsh’s Salon Blog:
I don’t watch Fox News, but an alert reader saw it, and Alex Koppelman found a clip: The pro-GOP network did, indeed, call Michelle Obama Barack Obama’s “baby mama.” It wasn’t some freelance commentator spouting off; it was a network-produced headline featured more than once below a discussion by Michelle Malkin [...]

Eugene Robinson has a great piece on the improbability of Barack’s rise to the top of the Democratic Party…
Here’s the hot verse:
A young, black, first-term senator — a man whose father was from Kenya, whose mother was from Kansas and whose name sounds as if it might have come from the roster of Guantanamo detainees [...]

The New York Post just released a new story with the headline, “RFK,MLK,…OHB.” It talks about Barack’s connection to the 1960’s assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Can we PLEASE stop with the assassination talk? Lining up those names like that makes me very uneasy….

DeNeen L Brown from the Washington Post waxes poetic about the possibility of a Black president:
Two words profound and yet contradictory. Once thought of as an oxymoron, impossible to be placed together in the same sentence, context, country — unless followed by a question mark.
