Could the next Treasury Secretary be a woman? Since soothsaying has largely fallen out of fashion since Nate Silver's arithmetic renaissance, it's impossible to know for sure if President Obama will opt to go against the grain of the Wall Street boys' club and appoint one of the many qualified female candidates to…
A Super PAC hell-bent on unseating President Obama this fall has unveiled their genius plan for convincing America that its current Commander-in-Chief is unfit to lead.

Have you heard? Michelle Obama is a jealous, controlling bitch who, above all, hates Oprah for every reason listed in the ancient Book of Female Stereotypes. And everyone knows it is literally not possible for two powerful women to be friends.
Sarah Palin isn't too pleased that President Obama's campaign used footage of her in this recent fundraising video, and she's decided to fight back by challenging Barack Obama to a good old-fashioned debate. It's a curious strategy, but we have no choice to hear her out because she posted a 583-word missive about it…
When someone rises to a position of great power, there are often people from their past who come out of the woodwork looking for some favor or another—and that's no doubt happened many times to President Obama.

The First Lady is on The Tonight Show this evening, and here's a clip from her interview in which she reveals that Barack sings that Al Green song to her quite regularly. (Let's all take a moment to breathe through our jealousy.) But the real highlight is when she manages to make the perfect comment about Mitt…
Tonight's State of the Union address was fun! Everyone looked good, Obama delivered a solid speech, and we felt briefly warm and fuzzy about the state of our union. Let's take a look at some of the night's more memorable moments, foremost among them was this rockin' hug that President Obama gave Gabrielle Giffords.
Today is Betty White's 90th birthday, and NBC aired "A Tribute to America's Golden Girl" last night in her honor. As part of the festivities, our nation's charmer-in-chief, Barack Obama, sent a heart-melting and hilarious video greeting in which he says he doesn't believe she could possibly be 90 and asks to see her…
New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor has a new book coming out this week called The Obamas, about—as you might have guessed from the title—the Obamas.

Tim Geithner and Todd Stern are in, Caroline Kennedy's out, Leon Panetta is delayed, Susan Rice is paying attention, and Holocaust deniers are cheering disrepair at Auschwitz. It's quite the Tuesday.
You know what's a turnoff? Men who are picky eaters. I'm not saying it's fun in women, either, but I haven't had to live as intimately with women for a while now. So it was kind of shocking to learn that Barack Obama, our dashing president-crush-elect, is apparently rife with food neuroses. Since the campaign…
Bad news for Malia and Sasha Obama: They won't be getting that new puppy until after the Obamas move into the White House.
