Are the media morons beginning to show signs of life? Even they can only ignore his lies for so long. Now that they all look like lap dogs for Obama, they may have finally realized that this dog just don’t hunt.
Media starting to notice ObamaCare’s false promises?
By Ed Morrissey
Small wonder Barack Obama wanted Congress to pass his health-care overhaul agenda as quickly as possible. While the media has mostly swallowed the sloganeering from the White House over the last few months, there are signs of increasing scrutiny on the wild claims by Obama and Democrats on their ObamaCare bills. Both the AP and CBS review the false promises from Obama just one day after Obama did his “full Ginsburg” on the Sunday talk-show circuit.
Uh oh. Another rag turning on him? Or is this just their attempt at looking like a real news paper again?
Obama: a flop on the international stage
By Ed Morrissey
That surprising assessment does not come from the National Review or the Washington Examiner, both of whom would almost certainly agree, but from the New York Times. While Peter Baker attempts to put some gloss on Barack Obama’s ability to make the US more popular simply by not being George W. Bush, he has to admit that it has translated into few if any benefits for the US. Instead, the distinct impression left by other nations is that they’re relieved to have an American President willing to accept the role of doormat:
But eight months after his inauguration, all that good will so far has translated into limited tangible policy benefits for Mr. Obama. As much as they may prefer to deal with Mr. Obama instead of his predecessor, George W. Bush, foreign leaders have not gone out of their way to give him what he has sought.
