For the past week, the White House has dealt with investigations into the attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, IRS targeting of tax-exempt conservative groups, and controversy over the Justice Department seizing AP records. The trio of scandals seem to have had little effect on the public’s feelings about President Barack Obama in new polling.

TIME Magazine named President Barack Obama its person of the year on Wednesday, dubbing him the “beneficiary and the author of a kind of a New America,” according to managing editor Rick Stengel. The announcement was accompanied by an instantly iconic photo of the President horsing around at the White House with a tiny Spider-Man.

Mitt Romney’s Tumblr has never reblogged anyone (except Romney Response, which is paid for by Romney for President, Inc.) They certainly haven’t reblogged one of my GIFs.
Today, the Chicago Young Republicans posted a recruitment video on YouTube that’s also a parody of “Call Me Maybe.” This will probably go viral. A few Chicagoans will probably sign-up to make phone calls for Romney because of the video. 
Maybe this GIF of the CJR’s dancing with Romney’s book could be the Romney campaign’s first legitimate reblog?

We bet a $20 donation to the Homicide Watch Kickstarter that Barack Obama’s Tumblr reblogs this first. That’s a challenge, guys.

Mitt Romney’s own senior adviser says Romney agrees with Obama that health care law is a penalty, not a tax

As a teenager, Obama was in a car accident while drag racing in Hawaii. Obama wasn’t behind the wheel of the car, but while he and some friends were racing, the car he was riding in flipped and landed upside down. The other car turned around and found Obama, who had crawled out a back window, laughing hysterically. “You can’t drive for shit!” he kept telling the driver.
