But it is quite astounding that the mainstream liberal media — NY Times, Washington Post, NPR, PBS, Time, Newsweek, etc. — has simply offered no substantive criticism of Obama’s flips on renditions, military tribunals, wiretaps, intercepts, Iraq, or — given their past fury over the Bush deficits — the Obama plan to run up more red ink in a year than Bush did in eight.
New theory: There apparently is nothing that Karl Rove cannot do. He got a fake Democrat elected to keep the Bush presidency rolling. Because there is no way that the Hope and Change guy would be doing what this guy is doing.
It’s been four months, folks. What’s the place going to look like after four years?


At first glance the MSM response to Obama and Gitmo etc. looks like a double standard. It is not. Remember, behind every apparent double standard is an unconfessed single standard.
The single standard in play here is; Republican actions are evil, Democrat actions are good.
It could be worse. McCain could have been elected.
I’m going out on a limb here and guessing ‘very bad’.
McCain recently called “waterboarding” torture in a Fox interview.
I don’t agree with him….in certain circumstances
But then again I didn’t spend 5&1/2 years as a guest of the North vietnamese.
