I heard this term recently attributed to the Huffington Post, "business up front, party in the back" was the meaning. A front-end that has the attributes of legitimate, credible first source news but on the inside a mash-up of opinion, discussion of views that is not necessarily news.
Dan Rather recently warned us that modern journalism has become a series of 'views-cast', and not 'newscasts.' My hunch is that with the ability of anyone to publish, comes the need to find something newsworthy. Not all opinions are news, and not all news needs to be sensational, controversial ... so please give us your best, not your worst.

Rahm Emanuel , President Elect Obama's - White House Chief of Staff
Rahm Emanuel (D) was chosen for the position of White House Chief of staff . I personally did not know much about him. The best thing I can say is that he worked under Leon Panetta who was the Chief of Staff for Clinton 1994-1996. I have a great deal of respect for anyone who has worked for or with Leon Panetta.
With that said we will have to see how Mr. Emanuel handles things, but I feel he is the right man for the job, at the right time.
If you would like to know more about the work of Mr. Leon Panetta, visit The Panetta Institute.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce - Leading Authorities
Charlie Cook, Cook Political Report Editor and Publisher, National Journal Columnist, on the Colbert Report or on CSPAN could be interesting to watch. I'm watching him on CSPAN.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Leading Authorities presentation 11/7/08 he reminds us, "53% to 46% popular vote, 364 electoral votes, Indiana , Ohio , North Carolina, Virgina, the totality of the effect of the election , there are some profound problems within the Republican BRAND."

What a thing to say. Imagine.
The strategists will be deep into brand marketing when it comes to issues and politicians in the future you see he understands that the Obama political warchest an "IPO" and people have invested in a 'new brand'.
He feels that the character/brand of Barack Obama is not linked to the voters and the American people, and is linked to the Senate, the pundits, the journalists.
Stuart Rothernberg, Rothenberg Political Report, needs to digest data and wait for the other shoe to drop.
My conclusion is that it is up to the President to set the natinal agenda, communicate it to the American people, lead them to the expectation that the priorities of the President are their priorities and get them to voice that to their congressional representaiton. It won't be a honeymoon, it will be work , it will be leadership, and certainly we don't have time to wait.
Yes, the problem is worse that we know because it had been known and hidden. Greenspan knew about, Soros wrote about it, and the Bush adminsitration orchestrated it, and somehow all of the brilliant pundits are still waiting to to be told how bad the situtation really is with the economy.

Who is Barack Obama ?
This may be the funniest bit of political humor you may ever see. After 21 months of campaigning we needed to have something that says, "he's a human being and yes we can enjoy ourselves as Americans...with comedy. Take a look and remeber, "laughter is the best medicine."
