That Shrinking Feeling

The decline was a “surprise” according to the headline writers, who always seem surprised when anything bad happens in the age of Obama


Even as George Bush is a fading memory, it's still the Republicans' fault ...
White House press secretary Jay Carney helpfully explained that investors were frightened by the appalling spectacle of Republicans in the House of Representatives balking at the president’s prudent plan of massive tax hikes and endless deficit spending during the recent “fiscal cliff” negotiations, and he even blamed the defense cuts on those notoriously anti-military Republicans. The reason the Republicans insist on such shenanigans, Carney further explained, is to make sure that “tax loopholes remain in place for corporate jet owners.”
 
What's making me very afraid is that the press is swallowing and regurgitating this and that people are actually eating this dog's breakfast.
