Obama Doesn't “Take Fox On,” After All  —  The Fox News Sunday interview is over.  And Obama didn't take on Fox at all in any meaningful sense.  —  On Friday, a senior Obama adviser responded to criticism of his decision to go on Fox with a bunch of tough talk, saying that Obama knew full …
Ed Morrissey / Hot Air:
Obama on Fox: I supported Roberts when I opposed him  —  Give Barack Obama this: he performed a lot better on Fox News Sunday today than he did in the debate on April 16th.  He stammered less when challenged, allowed his considerable personal warmth to surface, and kept his annoyance and anger in check.

Ryan Grim / The Politico:
Obama stops the clock on Fox  —  Barack Obama finally appeared on “Fox News Sunday,” stopping the “Obama Watch” clock at 772 days and change.  And, believe it or not, it was a friendly exchange, touching on familiar themes.  —  Host Chris Wallace, who had started the clock …

Kevin Drum / Washington Monthly:
THE BUBBA GAP....Apparently this week's issue of Newsweek was guest edited by Mark Penn.  The cover story is blurbed like this: “Barack Obama is a Niebuhr-reading ESPN watcher.  The origins of his troubles with the ‘other’ tag.”  And the cover photo dramatizes this as arugula vs. beer.  Cute!

Kate Phillips / The Caucus:
D.N.C. Advertisement: McCain's ‘100 Years’ in Iraq  —  Using footage from the town-hall-style meeting way back in January when a voter and Senator John McCain went back-and-forth about how long the United States would stay in Iraq, the Democratic National Committee has begun broadcasting a new advertisement.
Hindrocket / Power Line:

Megan McArdle:
The nomination battle  —  Arnold Kling summarizes quite succinctly just how much the stars aligned to put Obama in the lead: … Arnold thinks that as soon as the dust has settled, the party will unite behind the nominee.  —  I would guess that this will be less true of a Hillary Clinton nomination than of a Barack Obama nomination.
