Main Stream Media finally waking up?

The Main Stream Media (MSM), who have given Obamanation a free ride and a no cost support arm since he first announced his candidacy --- may be finally waking up. Apparently, his steam roller efforts to pass Obamacare in the face of public and private opposition has caused some concern.

Consider these Opinion pieces in these left wing or left of center publications this week:

The Seattle Times:

President Obama, Congress should set health-care reform aside

The Seattle Times editorial board drops its support of the health-care-reform bills, and says Congress should focus on bolstering the economy and ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

THE health-care dance in Washington, D.C., has gone on long enough. Congress needs to focus on the economy and set health care aside.

This is a change of position for us. This page supported Barack Obama for president, enthusiastically. We have supported the health-care effort until now.

The New York Daily News:
Pull the plug, Barack:
It's a mistake to try to
ram through health
care reform

Health reform: Down the stretch it comes. President
Obama has gone so far as to postpone an overseas
trip in a last-ditch push to get a comprehensive
reform bill to his desk.

He shouldn't waste his energy.

Not with unemployment justifiably the nation's top
concern and the possibility of a double-dip
recession still looming. Remember how Obama said,
in his State of the Union reboot, "Jobs must be our
No. 1 focus in 2010"? Well, apparently he doesn't

And from the Mother of all Left Leaning dailies, the Washington Post:
Health-reform vote deserves a reasonable process

Tuesday, March 16, 2010; A18

WE UNDERSTAND the administration's sense of urgency on health-care reform. But what is intended as a final sprint threatens to turn into something unseemly and, more important, contrary to Democrats' promises of transparency and time for deliberation.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Monday that she is leaning toward a parliamentary maneuver under which the House would vote on a package of changes to the Senate-approved reform bill, and the underlying Senate bill would then be "deemed" to have passed, even though the House had never voted on it. That may help some House members dodge a politically difficult decision, but it strikes us as a dodgy way to reform the health-care system.

The Post's comments may not seem strong at first blush, but considering that it's in the Post, it is indeed strong wording!!

What is it about arrogance and narcissism that prevents a rational human being from seeing the flags and posters waving in his face? The worst argument of all for steamrolling this though in the last days...... is because "we have been working on this for a year!". Well, duh! Nothing like an eraser and a clean chalkboard to start over again and avoiding the mistakes of the last year!!

If that's what he really wanted to do.........

By the way - when did we stop electing Presidents and start electing Kings?
