Losing WaPo?
Playing Politics With Tax Records
After being dutifully asleep at the switch for the past 4 years, the Washington Post seems to have been roused from its slumber, at least for a moment or two.
The editorial linked above is surprisingly strong, and the reader comments are highly atypical for a liberal newspaper.
The problems of the Obama Administration are suddenly piling up, foreign and domestic; "All-Politics-All-The-Time" is neither governing nor leading, and the bill for that is coming due:
Benghazi was an inexcusable fiasco, and so is the quickly disintegrating cover-up, Obama flopped in his cheap attempt to produce a sequester panic; there is still no discernible policy to deal with the increasingly toxic Arab Spring that Obama had earlier claimed to be "leading from behind;" patience is fast running out for Obama's failing programs for jobs and his failed approach to energy production; nervous Democrats are publicly referring to ObamaCare as an approaching Train Wreck; the personal capital Obama expended on gun control yielded nothing because the advocated controls bore zero relation to the mass shootings that supposedly inspired them; the Chinese and the Russians long ago pegged Obama -- President Red Line -- as a weakling and now hardly bother even to pretend to pay attention to his jabbering; and so on.
What's becoming increasingly clear is that Obama's abilities are limited to basically these:
First, he's a gifted campaigner and speaker, at least in settings where he can't be challenged about the truth of what he's saying.
Second, he's very good at currying favor by promising people free stuff paid for with somebody else's money.
Third...there is no third.
If the lame-stream media ever wakes up, notices that the emperor has no clothes, and starts doing its job -- lately there are hints that some in the liberal media actually may be rousing themselves -- then the Obama Regime is kaput. There is no there there, and never has been.
