The Spinning isn't working anymore

BHO has famously exploited the reluctance of the media to criticize him to spin his partisan version of events. But now that the President is pushing a bipartisan line, even CBS. C. B. S. - The Cronkite Broadcasting Service is pointing out the utter vacuous insincerity of his supposed bipartisanship.

CBS reports:

Mr. Obama said he “won’t hesitate to embrace a good idea from my friends in the minority party.” But he wants his way. He wants his energy policy enacted along with his jobs bill, his financial regulatory reform and his health care plan.And if the opposition continues to block his objectives, he said he “won’t hesitate to condemn what I consider to be obstinacy that’s rooted not in substantive disagreement but in political expedience.”

When a sitting president calls for bipartisanship by the opposition – he really means surrender. And if they block his proposals, its “obstinacy” and not political views they hold as strongly as he holds his.

Even the true believers are getting tired of his schtick, one year in. Without substantive change at the top, it's going to be a long four years for the Obami. But where does change come from with a callow and untested leader? Only catastrophe.

And we're not at catastrophic yet.
