Chicago Columnist to Obama: Hey, the Excuses are Wearing Thin

Stop the presses! A recognized Obamamedia shill has actually criticized his Messiah!

Have you heard the news? President Obama inherited an economic mess from the Bush administration.

You say that's hardly news? But it's been the message sounded over and over by the White House. Top Obama adviser David Axelrod said on one of the Sunday news shows, "He walked in the door, we had the worst economy since the Great Depression." In San Francisco, Obama talked of being "busy with our mop." White House heavy hitter Rahm Emanuel used the worst-economy-since-the-Depression line on a public TV news show.

You'd think it's October 2008, the final month in the Obama presidential candidacy, rather than October 2009, nine months into the Obama presidency. Yet the Obama White House is in full campaign mode -- maybe because it needs to mask the shortcomings of the Obama presidency.

Take, for example, all the talk of inheriting the worst economy since the 1930s crisis. That came in response to the news that the federal deficit hit $1.4 trillion.

Yet just a few months ago, the Obama camp was singing a little different tune. It was under criticism for the $787 billion stimulus package it bulldozed through Congress on grounds that massive spending was needed to keep the unemployment rate from breaching 8 percent. When joblessness hit 9.5 percent in June, Vice President Joe Biden said, "We misread how bad the economy was."

They inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression, or the economy turned out to be worse than they thought. Which is it? It can't be both -- unless your brain is completely addled by the Obama charisma.

Folks, for those you you not familiar with Chicago, the Sun-Times has long been an unashamed shill, tool, whore and mouthpiece for the Democratic Machine. The words "journalistic integrity" and the "Chicago Sun Times" have absolutely nothing in common.

For them to criticize Obama and his "addled" supporters is amazing.

Can it be that some in the media are starting to see that this creation of theirs that they protected and helped install in the White House is past the honeymoon stage and now actually has to show the ability to govern?

Can it be that with most of the world laughing at us and our unemployment approaching 10% and rising with no end in sight, that all the spin jobs are starting to ring hollow and shrill? It is becoming very clear that his stimulus package has been a resounding failure in growing the economy or employing many folks.

I wonder how long it will be before the White House starts attacking the Sun-Times?

Hey, President Obama! As you have told us over and over again, you won. So how about you now act like it and start moving forward instead of blaming everybody but yourself for your own failed policies?
