President Obama broke out into his famous two-step when he made a special appearance at Senator Ted Kennedy’s 77th birthday celebration.  No surprise that the President  would show up, especially after Kennedy and niece Caroline endorsed him as opposed to their good friend Hillary Clinton during the election process. 

It may seem minimal, but here’s what the President’s appearance says about his character:

1)      He’s a loyal friend,
2)      He doesn’t forget those who have helped him along the way,
3)      He doesn’t mind loosening up and having a good time.

You’ve seen his moves on Ellen and now here; will Obama be breaking out the Electric Slide soon?

Although President Obama signed the stimulus bill a few weeks ago, it seems as though help can’t come fast enough.  Whether it’s the foreclosure signs in your neighborhood or the cutbacks you’ve had to make to stay afloat, signs of the recession are everywhere.  While the road to recovery looks dismal, TV One wants you to be encouraged and to HOLD ON.  We are all facing this tough economy but with a little hope, together we can overcome.

We want to know how you’re dealing with the tough times and what you are doing to make ends meet.

If you haven’t heard, filmmaker John Ziegler, founder of howobamagotelected.com, has been very busy shopping his new documentary Media Malpractice around on every network (well not EVERY network, he hasn’t come on TV One yet).

We at The Daily Obama have not see the film, but here’s a nice, lengthy (nine minute clip) to give you a taste of it right here.

The gist of the documentary seems to be: Barack Obama won because the left-wing media (read: every station except FOX) assassinated Sarah Palin’s character.

Being a part of the media, it’s tough to hear people make claims about us being biased. So we thought we’d offer a rebuttal on Ziegler’s theory. Remember Howard Dean? Four years ago he was a forerunner in the 2004 Election until this happend . . .

And with that video clip, Dean’s image was shredded and he fell in the polls faster than, well, Sarah Palin.

So, considering that Dean is a Democrat, he should have been helped by the so-called Left Wing bias, no?

Just a thought.

TELL US: Do you think Palin’s loss was due to unfair treatment by the media?

If you’re like most people, you don’t really watch the State of the Union Adddress. It mostly watches you while waiting for the show you’re REALLY watching to come back on.

Somehow, we here at The Daily Obama think this one was different.

On Tuesday, President Obama made his first State of the Union Address.

Well, that’s not exactly true.

His speech wasn’t technically a State of the Union Address, it was more like a 50-minute talk on the economy and his stimulus package before Congress. Tomayto, tomahto, right?

No matter, we have a feeling you watched it anyway. So what did you think?

UPDATE: New York Post Editor-in-Chief Col Allen has responded to Rev. Al Sharpton’s criticism of the controversial political cartoon with the following statement: “The cartoon is a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimpanzee in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington’s efforts to revive the economy. Again, Al Sharpton reveals himself as nothing more than a publicity opportunist.”

By now, you’ve probably had 15 friends forward this comic strip to you but here at the Daily Obama we just HAD to get your opinion.

In today’s New York Post, you can see a new comic strip by Sean Delonas which shows two cops talking after shooting a monkey. Now, on first glance, this seems to be nothing more than a crude reference to the recent news about a pet chimp that mauled its owner and was later shot to death by the police.

Fine, we get it.

But it’s the what the cartoon cop says that has thrown us for a loop.

“They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”

Uh, excuse us?

Is that a monkey reference to President Obama, the nation’s first African American President? Let’s restate that — is that a MURDERED monkey reference to President Obama?

It wouldn’t be the first time Black folks, or Barack Obama has been compared to a monkey — you remember the Curious George debacle last year? But this smacks of something more dangerous.

Seems Rev. Al Sharpton agrees.

In a Huffingtonpost article about the comic, Sharpton is quoted as saying “The cartoon in today’s New York Post is troubling at best given the historic racist attacks of African-Americans as being synonymous with monkeys. One has to question whether the cartoonist is making a less than casual reference to this  . . . ”

Question: Do you find this comic strip offensive or do you think folks are being too sensitive?
