Barack Obama's Webheads are getting ready to launch a new Twitter feed for President Change. But the White House already had a Twitter account. It has disappeared down the memory hole.
The president's its third televised news conference in as many months ended with ratings down 42 percent from their February peak of 49 million. The obstinate bastards at Fox win! Just look:

It looks like Barack Obama has an early Supreme Court appointment on his hands: David Souter plans to retire, according to various news reports. Souter was appointed by George H. W. Bush, but leans left.
A member of Barack Obama's security detail has contracted a suspected case of the swine flu—this outbreak has Barack "The Typhoid President" Obama's fingerprints all over it.
Remember Vivek Kundra, the White House chief geek who nicked shirts from J.C. Penney in his youth? In 2000, four years after his arrest, Barack Obama's future chief indiscretion officer played political fanboy.
The insular White House press corps is said obsessed with Beltway inside baseball. But it can also pander to the masses as well as any tabloid — or Hollywood studio.
The president finally let a few of these "newspapers" ask questions at his big TV news conference, and what happens? The New York Times asks a laughable question, and is mocked. Newbs.

Are you excited for Barack Obama's network-bankrupting fourth prime time national TV address, in honor of his 100 days of Presidenting? Fox isn't! They will be playing their regular Wednesday programming.

At 6 p.m. Eastern, following the declaration of a national health emergency, ABC News' Senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper filed seven paragraphs on the president's golf game. Golf Digest was cited.
