You make an excellent point about what would happen were a Republican in office now. We all know it, but it bears repeating!
Oh Yeah! It would be sickening, the above-the fold headlines if McCain was president. Think about it.
“Housing Depression Unstoppable”.
“Millions on Food Stamps. No End to Hunger in Sight”
“Unemployment UNEXPECTEDLY Revise Downward Again”.
“Another Six Bank Failures as...”
“National Debt Reaches Catastrophic Levels”.
“Nothing Done to Improve the Job Front”.
“Unprecedendent Extension for Unemployment During Depression”
“Are Food Stamps the New Depression Soup Kitchens”
It would be murderous. With the 5th column MSM running interference for Obama, there is none of that. Even an unbiased MSM would be hitting him fairly hard. If McLame was president, the news would be suicidally depressing daily.
