there are three stories critical of President Obama, and no stories critical of Republicans.

'nuf said.

"Obama Administration Won’t Show Secret Legal Opinions for Targeted Killings to US Senator"

"Obama doesn’t want to get around the debt ceiling, he wants to beat the Republicans on it. Obama seems to believe he can win at a game of chicken, despite his rather abysmal track record so far."

"President Obama holds a press conference on the debt ceiling at 11:30 am ET today. NBC News reports that he will announce the US is sending drones and surveillance equipment to support the French in Mali."
