Cool animal related musical medley. Buried a bit into the episode since the old links are dead.

Has Obama Waged A War On Religion? : NPR
A loaded headline to be sure but not too bad of an article.
I would argue that Obama is probably more of a Christian than any president we’ve had since Carter. You could argue with me, but you’d probably be wrong. He hasn’t cheated on his wife at any time we know of. Can’t say that for Reagan, Clinton, and probably Bush the Lesser. He actually hasn’t started a war. Sending bombing runs into Libya might count I suppose but it wasn’t “our” war in the traditional sense of the word.
Bush did what he could to stop profiling of Muslims after 9/11, but given the mob that elected him, that wasn’t much at all. Obama turned over DADT, belatedly, but he did.
So where is he “anti-Christian” except in expanding the rights of more Americans than others before him?
Face it, he wasn’t elected to be a secular pope. He was elected to lead ALL Americans to be more free and prosperous. No, not to let bigots reign or to let one hard-lined version of Christianity oppress people.
No, he’s a family man who acts like one probably would given the same job. Take care of the neighborhood, let the psychos down the street yell about secret Muslims, birth certificates, and whatever other BS bangs around in their tin foil hats, and just do what is right for the most people.
I wouldn’t want the job. Or, rather, you wouldn’t like me much either if I had it.

Our First Lady always seemed to be a classy lady who took care of her family first and foremost. Glad to see she took the same sensibilities into the job she didn’t want.

Simply put, well said.
MAKE | Adam Savage on NewsHour, Discussing Maker Movement
My browser took a steaming dump awhile back and I had all these old links I meant to post here during the transition from IonWeb to Hostmonster.
Anyway, this is a start in clearing out the backlog. Also, following this video is the larger NewsHour program on the Makers.
