Arts & Entertainment

http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/406852639658217472 CBS News correspondent Mark Knoller took to Twitter to report on President Obama’s Small Business Saturday shopping trip. http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/406854107891503104 http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/406856112130899968 Obama picked up over a dozen books, but Knoller noticed something glaringly absent from the list provided by the White House. http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/406857550416445440 Funny ’cause it’s oh-so-true!

General

http://twitter.com/#!/SMadurski/status/505327965794598912 President Obama might have “no strategy” to deal with ISIS, but when it comes to fundraisers, those plans are etched in stone: http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/505327582632771584 http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/505328161069215744 The ISIS strategy can wait, apparently, but a plan for fundraising?

Not so fast: http://twitter.com/#!/markknoller/status/505328508290498560 Priorities! (note: see update below) http://twitter.com/#!/JoeC1776/status/505329743903064065 http://twitter.com/#!/jasonhsv/status/505332951018930176 Odds are very good.
