The folks at Politico take umbrage when accused of leaning left. But once again, the site's headlines give away Politico's Dem-friendly game.
Compare these contrasting gems from today's edition, the first dismissing the GOP contenders as mediocre, the other using the old "rested and ready" cliché to describe President Obama as the campaign season begins in earnest:

Rested? I’d say, but then so are voters who’ve been out of work for 2+ years.

Shouldn’t it be referred to as PoLEFTico from now on?

I can’t really argue with the headline. Fairway Barry can’t possibly be any more rested if he’d been in a coma.

In the age of Obama mediocre sounds pretty good.

“GOP Challengers Are ‘Mediocrities....”

EVERY SINGLE one of the “GOP Challengers” is consummately more accomplished, with more actual real world achievements, than that of BOTH affirmative action sponges in the White House, combined.

The frothy mixture of reporting & propaganda at Polutico is vile and disgusting.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
The lightweight mediocrity in the WH is resting and relaxing while others load his teleprompters for another campaign of posing and reading to the voters.

The arrogant Obamas feel they are entitled to royal accomodations in highly exotic locales.
Aren’t the ChiComms gearing up for a Moon Shot?

Obama could not ever hope to rise to the level of "mediocrity".
I'm quite sure he's "rested" though, after 17 days of a lavish taxpayer-funded vacation, so that he can be "ready" to attend more $35,000-a-plate fundraisers with chic celebrities and multimillionaire funders of disastrous causes whose consequences they never have to live with.

This is just the beginning. Get ready for all out Obama worship by the MSM and repeated vicious attacks on any conservative or Republican.
This is what the MSM does. They are the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Mediocrity seems about the best we can hope for these days.
It, nevertheless, beats Obama by a long shot.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
Barry Hussein Obama is definitely “rested and ready”. He’s been on vacation for three years.
