This is what we are seeing. The media ghouls are right there cherry picking a word of the day and running with it. Bad word...what could be better for them? The country is going to hell....hooray, that'll sell or get clicks. Good word...not so much, it won't carry over as doom and gloom to come.

If you pay attention, nothing this administration does is really "good enough" in the eyes of the doomers. He gets health care done....it's not good enough. He gets financial reform done...it's not good enough. Whatever it is, it's not good enough and the naysayers run it into the ground as if nothing was done and no one will ever benefit. It's like the country has gone all red, and wants nothing more than for the Obama administration to fail....and then they could sit back with a smirk on their faces and say "I told you so".

Obviously they're wrong. Which is why we go through this BS daily. They are furiously seeking the big one, the one that will stick and maybe come true. They scream doom and gloom, they scream it's not good enough and they wail that the sky is going to fall tomorrow if Obama doesn't do this or do that because they know it all.

But then we're part of the problem too if we believe them and their scenarios. Thankfully most of the Democratic Party knows bullshit when we see it.
