Following a Walter Cronkite editorial report during the Tet Offensive that the Vietnam War was unwinnable, President Lyndon Johnson is reported to have said, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America."
Today one of President Obama's "propaganda arms, the Washington Post complained about the size of the federal deficit." It warned the President that a credible solution to the deficit must be developed or the economy will stagnate. Wow the Washington Post disagreeing with Obama. Is this President Obama's "losing Uncle Walter" moment? Or has it begun to snow in hell? But no fear because David Axelrod may have a solution, breaking another campaign promise:

They’re trying to stop the bleeding in circulation...red herring...
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.....
Well, if they do it by telling the truth, more power to them.
It doesn’t matter. He’ll just replace it with the Huffington Post.
“Well, if they do it by telling the truth, more power to them.”
they’re already working on the sixteen counter-balanced articles...
Who is the Washington Post?
...or the Workers World Daily...
The MSM are beginning to understand the depth of trouble Obama is creating for the economy, and America. We (conservatives) saw this from the beginning, but the MSM continued on their hell-bent path to get him elected. I really believe they thought he would be able to accomplish all he touted. It shows how totally out of touch the MSM are from main-street America. Now that the house of cards is falling—what are they thinking? Must be becoming a nightmare in most newsrooms these days.
Bingo - just trading in bad journalism for complete propaganda!
So that means there backing of the messiah all these months, proves how friggin stupid they are.
This huge mass of debt, which would stifle economic growth and reduce the American standard of living, can be avoided only through spending cuts, tax increases or some combination of the two. And the longer government waits to get its financial house in order, the more it will cost to do so, the CBO says.
It sounds like the WP is giving Obama ammo, as if he needed it, to increase taxes.
Does anyone ever read the article at the link? The WP is supporting a tax increase—something that Obama has been planning all along.
Obama losing the Washington Compost? Are you joking? It will never happen!
Yes, supporting Obama’s future proposals for substantial tax increases-starting with a tax on employer provided health benefits (union members excluded).
Exactly. They need at least 1 "I told you so" article in their archives for cover on charges of biased reporting.
I will reserve judgement on whether or not Ubama has lost the WaPost.
If Obama destroys enough billions of Buffet's weatlh, will Buffet stop supporting him?
But instead of attacking Obama and the Democrats on the economy, which was the issue Obama's supporters cared about and an issue we could have won on, many wasted their efforts with Hussein-Wright-Ayers. The undecideds decided more Dems would be better for the economy, and we lost. Yes, they're paying for it now, but so are we.
The only question is, will we make that mistake again?
Meh!
The Washington Post or ‘Pravda On The Potomac’, as I call it has been in the hip pocket of whatever Deomcrat who’s been in the White House for the past 60 years.
For all it’s supposed pre and post-Watergate ‘intergity’ (Woodward was a former Naval Security nobody and Bernstein was a feature writer for a Montgomery County, MD town paper)and ‘ground breaking’ hoopla; the paper has very liitle weight and readership outside the DC area.
Whatever resonance or traction this article has will be wiped away by tomorrow afternoon. With more on the deaths of Jacko or Billy Mays.
Jack.
