7 stories Barack Obama doesn't want told - John F.... →
The Obama White House argues that all of these storylines are inaccurate or unfair. In some cases these anti-Obama narratives are fanned by Republicans, in some cases by reporters and commentators.
But they all are serious threats to Obama, if they gain enough currency to become the dominant frame through which people interpret the president’s actions and motives.

Using Twitter, the popular social media tool, Talley dished out some “tweets’’ as the game unfolded that hit harder than any of the 1,137 tackles he recorded in 12 seasons with Buffalo.

So it wasn’t unusual for Keith and Brooke Desserich to find their little girl’s trademark purple hearts and “I love you” notes on scraps of paper and stray envelopes all over their suburban Cincinnati home.
