I will name WaPo the cover of the day as it catches the photo op with the miner’s widow in the right moment: as Obama rushes to disentangle himself from the yucky moment

other papers were more reverential in their choice of photo, but they demonstrate anyway Obama has just as much of a problem as W to pretend that he cares
Here’s USA Today with also great news for women (Thanks, Ben Nelson!)

.and Boston Globe with the next in time dispeptic image – you know he’s thinking “time to break away now” – leading to the WaPo pic

.Stars and Stripes celebrates the closing of a base in Iraq – but bellow there’s news of demonstrations against a US base in japan

.and in Long Island, a fallen local soldier is given page one

.Obama Times has some more news from the afghan front as well the Senate from and a sensibly miners photo op taken from a distance

.Wall Street Journal is predictably running with the financial bill

‘while Washington Times is less optimistic about its passing

.In DC, The Examiner brings up yet another potential disaster Obama’s historical Romneycare is cooking for us all

In NY, the theme seems to beĀ transportation:
NY Post reports on a cabbie trick

.The Daily News on a subway gate breach

.and AM NY says there’s an app for that

Honestly…. this is the first time I have ever seen a photo of Obama in which he looks compassionate. I am in awe!

“Will look compassionate for votes”….. An old trick both parties have taught me.
Though I have to admire BO for going into a raw audience venue, no one was hand picked.

Wow! How craven can one get? “Reconnect?”
“hey, how ya doin’? I trust you’ve been OK since voting for me, M’kay? Let’s do lunch sometime.

What a sad, bitter little rant. Picking apart the coal miners’ memorial like this, just pathetic.

What I learned today on the internets:
Obama going to the WV memorial is worse than his not going. Imagine the poutrage from the rightosphere had he not gone… insensitive!… arrogant!… thinks he’s better than them!.
I also learned that the mere mention of race in the context of a talk that seeks to rally the same voters who turned out in ’08 is “craven.” Apparently the race problem is fixed and any mention of race is racist.
On another note, the April 23 edition of the Record-Review of Bedford Hills, NY brings us news from Tea Party/Republican candidate Kristia Cavere in NY-19 that:
“The Republicans are the ones who liberated Europe in World War II.”
This I did not know. I checked with several WWII vets down at the Legion Hall and none could recall a loyalty oath to Republicans during their service. But it’s still good to know that if not for Republicans we’d all be speaking German and driving Volkswagens,

Some reading comprehension tips for de-lurking B0bots- my tabloids posts are about the media coverage rather than about the events themselves. When an event deserves my comment, I usually make a separate entry.
If I did I would have used this article
Obama preaches reconciliation with coal bosses
