...Intern Memo doesn’t plan on stemming its development. A recent addition to the Web site’s marketing strategy has been the use of campus reps—students at other schools hired by Intern Memo to spread the word and increase subscriptions. Maureen D. Barradas, a junior at Carleton College in Minnesota and a campus rep for Intern Memo, has been a fan of the site since she joined last June. “I believe in it so much that I decided to be a campus representative,” Barradas says...

Though the first wave of criticism focused on Obama's use of the word "bitter," over the weekend critics concentrated more on Obama's use of the word "cling" and the negative connotation it gave to people's attachments to guns and God.
