Hear those footsteps tapping? That's NBA commissioner David Stern, dancing in his New York City office. After years of lethargic finals match-ups (Spurs-Nets! Spurs-Pistons! Anything with the Spurs!), Stern, and basketball fans, get a gift starting Thursday night: the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics, a rekindling of the sport's most thrilling rivalry. The much anticipated matchup has already been touted with endless clips of Bill Russell, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and, of course, Bird vs. Magic.

But it also may signal that as attention turns to the general campaign, Michelle could be a liability as well as an asset. Her speeches can sound stark and stern compared with her husband's roof raisers. He's all about the promise; she's more about the problem. It's not just that she says times are hard and "we're not where we need to be"; with that, the vast majority of the country agrees. She goes further...
