NYT's Calmes Puzzled Why Obama Not Thanked for Saving Blue-Collar Town
New York Times reporter Jackie Calmes got a prominent Sunday front-page spot for a rather humdrum story on economic recovery in a blue-collar Indiana town and why President Obama wasn’t getting the credit he deserved for it.

Time and the Left Trot Out 75 Year-Old Excuses For the Poor Economy
It's so predictable.
Whenever a government or leader follows the left's playbook and the results "uexpectedly" don't turn out to be anywhere near what was desired, it isn't the policies' or the leader's fault. No-no-no.

Hey WSJ: Amnesty is the Hugest Cronyism of All

To wit: $80 billion of the 2009 “Stimulus” was wasted on “green energy” companies - 80% of whom were Barack Obama donors.

Why Does the Media Hate (Poor) People Having Cheap Food?
The media are, of course, almost uniformly Leftist - which means they just about always toe the Party line. Including the belief that in order to help the poor - government must perpetually grow.
