Things That Are Real: Fox News’ Shep Smith somehow owns the same-sex marriage debate.
After returning from a clip about President Obama’s support for same sex marriage today, Fox News anchor Shep Smith had a surprisingly astute quip: ”the President of the United States, now in the 21t-century.”
Then later, when discussing the issue with fellow-anchor Bret Bair, Shepard was quoted saying Republicans are very much, “on the wrong side of history” on the whole debate.
First he lambasted Gingrich and declared politics as “weird”, now he’s contradicting Fox News’ company line on camera. Call me crazy, but I’m starting to like Shep Smith.

14,000 people showed up to see Obama (and the First Lady) at his first campaign rally.

This is why I’ll be voting for him again.

Ready for the Fight: Rolling Stone Interview with Barack Obama
Later, after the interview ended, we found Hillary sitting in a small chair, scrunched between the desk of Obama’s secretary and the door to the Oval Office. The two former rivals now seem completely at ease with each other. Clinton joked about the popularity of the fake Tumblr site Texts From Hillary Clinton, and Obama began to air-thumb an imaginary text. “See, I’m hip,” he said with a laugh.
Favorite bits:
“A lot of how they approach issues is defined by “‘Will this help us defeat the president?’” as opposed to “‘Will this move the country forward?’”
“My hope is that after this next election, they’ll feel a little more liberated to go out and say, “‘Let’s redirect the Republican Party back to those traditions in which a Dwight Eisenhower can build an interstate highway system.’”
“I never bought into the notion that by electing me, somehow we were entering into a post-racial period.”
“I do think it’s important and useful to have a broader debate about our drug laws. […] We’ve had a discussion about how to focus on treatment, taking a public-health approach to drugs and lessening the overwhelming emphasis on criminal laws as a tool to deal with this issue. I think that’s an appropriate debate that we should have.”
“As several people have pointed out to me who have been in previous administrations, this is a hard job, period. It’s a really hard job when you’re in the middle of the worst financial crisis in your lifetime, and two wars at the same time, and major challenges involving terrorism and climate change.”
“I heard you liked the TV show Homeland.
I did, it was a great show. […] It’s a terrific psychological study, and that’s what I enjoy about it.”
BARACK OBAMA WATCHES HOMELAND!
“I don’t watch a lot of TV news. I don’t watch cable at all. I like The Daily Show, so sometimes if I’m home late at night, I’ll catch snippets of that. I think Jon Stewart’s brilliant. It’s amazing to me the degree to which he’s able to cut through a bunch of the nonsense – for young people in particular, where I think he ends up having more credibility than a lot of more conventional news programs do.”
AND LIKES THE DAILY SHOW.

This is great!
“I can’t believe I’m finally meeting Fred Armisen!”
Gotta say, I’m hoping the President pulls this out in November. These close polls baffle me; but I’m just going to start working with OFA. A friend of mine joined in; it’s easy and you’ll meet some great people.
Who knows: might inspire you to start doing pull-ups, too.
