Obama's observation to a Florida television station that the United States "had gotten a little soft" before he took office seems tone deaf.
Column: C-SPAN founder lets you judge the news

Al Neuharth: Maybe Supreme Court will finally allow TV coverage, like Brian Lamb's gavel-to-gavel coverage of Congress.
Column: Will Obama fight for blacks, jobs?

Yolanda Young: It's time the president put his money where his mouth is and reach out to African Americans.
