Obama's Western Strategy (Contessa Brewer/Ari Melber msnbc)
Ari Melber discusses Obama's Western strategy with Contessa Brewer on MSNBC. Politico column: www.politico.com Barack Obama's best path to the White House runs through the Mountain West, where a growing number of independent and Hispanic voters are breaking the GOP's grip on red states. In 2005, Democrats won Colorado's Legislature for the first time in 40 years. Then they took back the governor's mansion in a 16-point rout last year. In federal elections, Ken Salazar picked off a Senate post from Republicans in 2004; Democratic Rep. Mark Udall leads the race to replace retiring Sen. Wayne Allard, in a seat that Republicans have comfortably held for three decades...

Joy Behar & Ari Melber: CNN Covers Battle Between Fox News and Obama
On CNN Headline News, Joy Behar interviews NPR's Peter Sagal, The Nation's Ari Melber and Politico's Nia-Malika Henderson about the war of words between Fox News and President Obama. Excerpt BEHAR: Didn't Bush look really bad when he sent Helen Thomas to the back of the room? That was bad. SAGAL: Bad to whom? I mean this may be one of these issues where the average person in America could care less... it's been going on forever... MELBER: And Helen Thomas was asking hard questions about our foreign policy. Glenn Beck is asking stupid questions about birth certificates.So there's a difference in whether we're talking about icing out people doing real journalism, or people who are just screaming at The President and stoking -- in Glenn Beck's case, again -- racial hatred, which is wrong...

Msnbc guest host Matt Miller was leading Dylan Ratigan's self titled show and ended with a rant about Republican obstruction from The Nation's Ari Melber. I don't have tell you this was music to my ears, because I am a fan of Ratigan, but yesterday, he was just flat wrong, when he said the Left funded corporate and Republican deregulation policies in the late 1990s. Republicans passed it in the US House and Senate, and a former small southern state gov, Bill Clinton, no man of the LEFT signed it. I am sick of republican policies being blamed on me. No one has TRIED my plan. And that is the bottom line cause stone cold said so.

Obama's White House Reality Show! (Politico column Ari Melber)
Ari Melber & Eleanor Clift on MSNBC -- www.politico.com Barack Obama's reality-show presidency We are now living through the first reality-show presidency. The trends began in the early 1990s, with 24-hour cable news and reality programming, and intensified in the past few years, with the rise of celebrity culture and micro-broadcasting technology. This is the first administration, however, to fuse iterative, real-time lifestyle coverage with the star power of a true celebrity politician. The White House is deftly serving the huge public and media interest in President Barack Obama, not only as a leader and celebrity but also as a character in a fascinating story far beyond politics. So far, it is working. Historically, the most favorably viewed figure in any administration is the first lady, regardless of her husbands popularity. That is largely because first ladies avoid the political fray and are ritualistically presented as a warm, human presence in the White House. Take Laura Bush. She left the White House with a 67 percent favorable rating, according to a January CNN poll, more than double the ratings of her husband and his top officials. So far, Obama is garnering the kind of coverage more traditionally associated with first ladies, partly because he is covered not only as a president immersed in policy but also as the star of an exciting reality show. Sometimes the press takes the lead on the set. This week, for example, while many wonks debated Obamas health care <b>...</b>
