The following article in the NYT is very revealing. It is interesting to note the panic among Democratic candidates.
The NYT is stunned to learn that none of the Democratic candidates are not running for re-election promoting the success of the stimulus package:
Few voters know that the 2009 stimulus bill contributed heavily to the nation’s economic recovery, saving and creating 2.5 million jobs. Not a word of it is spoken on the campaign trail, where little credit is also given to the White House for months of promising economic news.
Few voters know this because it is absurd to pretend our economy is doing well. We have a record low number of people with jobs and changing the way we count unemployment is not a substitute for an actual paycheck.
The NYT is also shocked to learn that few candidates are not running on the success of ObamaCare:
Similarly, the Affordable Care Act, one of the most far-reaching and beneficial laws to have been passed by Congress in years, gets little respect even among the Democratic candidates who voted for it. Though none support the Republican position of repeal, most talk about the need to “fix” the health law, as if it were a wreck alongside the road rather than a vehicle providing millions of people with health coverage.
The reason Democrats are talking about a need to fix the health care law is that it actually is a wreck along the road. One has to wonder how bad it would have to get before the NYT noticed. If the NYT considers this to be success it is frightening to imagine failure.
This is proof positive that the main stream liberal media is not just biased, it is delusional. This opinion was written by the NYT editorial board. How much more out of touch can you get? No wonder these people believe in global warming. I am surprised they don’t believe the Easter Bunny is some reincarnated Deity.
It sure looks like Democrats running for election are finally waking up to reality. One suspects that their constituents are sending this message loud and clear. We are two weeks away from fundamental change in this country. Even if Democrats miraculously stay in power, there will still be major changes. If Republicans win they will consider this election to be a mandate for action. But even if they don’t, surviving Democrats are unlikely to rush back onto the Obama bandwagon. Those who survive will know that this happened in spite of Obama, not because of him. The NYT may not realize that, or more likely may not want to believe that but change is on the way.
