Reply #57: A lot of the fault is the media's - Back in Ed Murrow's day,

[truedelphi]

Had some President said he felt we needed to include in our "reform" efforts the very people who made that reform necessary, Murrows would have been up and down that President's logic till the President reversed himself.

But sigh, I doubt that kind of reporting will ever come back.

Perhaps if Rachel Maddow quits with her major focus on the Tea Baggers and Sarah and spends some time parsing the statements of those, like Obama, who supposedly are on the side of the people, but she seems to be under control now too.
