The First One Hundred Days of the Obama Administration are getting a lot of play today. The Dems want to give him straight 'A's' and the Republicans want to give him low 'D's.' The difference lies in what your political mindset happens to be. If you like what he's doing you're going to give him good grades, if not then you’re likely to think he’s a boob.
All that aside, we need to look at the REAL losers from the first 100 days.
In my mind it is the American press and their cousins in the media that get straight ZEROES. They have been mostly TOTALLY absent from ANY kind of critical analysis of this new administration - which is totally unforgivable. The man is far from perfect in MY eyes, but the press should be asking questions even if he is their hero - and he is. For the press to totally ignore what is going on is GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND DERILICTION OF DUTY. In some quarters the press would be shot for such a poor performance. Far be it from me to get in the way of THAT particular punishment for the press, but the fact that they can see their way clear to do NOTHING wrecks whatever credibility they thought they had.
This falls under, "Shame on you!!" I could be a LOT more abusive, but I’m trying to keep this as a family blog. That's how futile it is to deal with the lack of performance by the press.
