This article at TPC has the Obama campaign fundraising T-shirt that tries to piggyback off of the statement Joe Biden whispered into the ear of President Obama, "this is a BFD", when Obamacare was rammed through.

President Obama tells UAW workers that he will be buying a Chevy Volt when he leaves office in five years and just days later GM suspends production due to slow sales. At the same time this same "Green" President is otherwise willing to keep Air Force One in the air to watch a basketball game between the NY Knicks and Miami Heat.

The First Family has been a somewhat infrequent participant in Sunday morning mass through the years but has attended three times in the past month. Mere coincidence or is campaign season now really in full swing? I wrote about it at The Political Commentator here: http://bit.ly/wdDsz8
