We noted that yesterday Politico posted a stand-alone news story about the fact that Sarah Palin had posted some tweets about grizzly bears.....That's it. That was the news.

So we'd be remiss if we didn't also note the Politico effort this week to document the ways Obama was losing his “cool.” Wafer-thin barely begins to describe the piece, as well as the 'proof' used to back up the pointless enterprise.

The first item:

It started on Monday. Speaking at the White House, Obama was just getting into a sharp defense of his economic agenda when one of the teleprompter screens holding his speech crashed to the floor and shattered into pieces.

Got that? Obama was at some official function and using a teleprompter and then the teleprompter, untouched by Obama, fell over and broke. That's the Politico's first, best evidence that Obama was losing his “cool factor.”

Okaaaay.

Last item:

And in one more embarrassing incident this week, Obama, a stickler for pronunciation, stumbled over the name of his surgeon general-designate's hometown – and had to ask Dr. Regina Benjamin for help pronouncing “Bayou La Batre.”

Oh my. At another one of Obama's endless public functions, he mispronounced the name of a very unusual and foreign sounding town. That was his “embarrassing” incident.

Trust me, after reading this piece it's not Obama who comes off as embarrassing.
