There is no longer any distinction between network news media and the White House and they don't care who knows it.  

Hey Janet Napolitano...I'm proud to be a Right-winger.

Later in the Bush Administration, we heard a refrain from mainstream reporters and editors that they regretted their "softness" on Bush in the early days after 9/11. They argued among themselves how, if they had only questioned Bush's policies from the start, we wouldn't have had Abu Graib, or the Iraq war, or Katrina, etc.

That's a crock, of course. But for the sake of argument, let's accept it.

Consider the same attitude with Obama, The press isn't just being un-questioning about Obama and these policies. They're actively leading the charge. They're giving Obama prime time space, and refusing opposition ads. A network (not just reporters) is clearing space for the president, and blocking opposition. The defense that "they've done it before" is hardly a defense.

If we don't stop these policies now, the inflation and deficit and damage to the economy later on will be immense. And if we hear these same reporters wondering "if only they had questioned," I think they should be held criminally disingenuous.

Two things, both concerning Mr. Human Dynamo, Tom Daschle. 

1) This selection committee must not require confirmation or release of tax documents.

2) With Daschle and Brokaw both being from South Dakota its obvious the state is waaaayyy over-represented.  South Dakota has a small and predominantly white population.  Where is the outcry from the Black Caucus?

So Tom Brokaw's new job amounts to cruising for interns.  How fitting.

Pretty soon we'll have nothing but 31-year-old aspiring ambulance chasers "running" every American corporation.  Wow.  Obama is the greatest President of all time.

 From the Kremilin.gov site:

Declaring that "a genuinely free society cannot be a spectator
society," President Lyndon B. Johnson announced the establishment of
the White House Fellows Program in the East Room of the White House in
October 1964. Prompted by the suggestion of John W. Gardner, then
President of the Carnegie Corporation, President Johnson's intent was
to draw individuals of exceptionally high promise to Washington for one
year of personal involvement in the process of government.

The White House Fellowship was created as a non-partisan program. It
has strictly maintained this tradition during both Republican and
Democratic administrations and, through the cross-fertilization of
ideas and experience, has enriched the practice of public policy for
more than three decades.

The first problem is that it came into being under "Great Society" Johnson; the second problem is that it originated with the Carnegie Corporation (whose board of directors is rife with peaceniks, at least one acknowledged Socialist, a couple of Carter administration types like Cyrus Vance, and various U.N. types); the third problem is what I put into bold above.

Good Lord!

One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).

The "Fellows" will be indoctrinated in promoting the Obama Agenda.
