Mrs WBill gets "Rolling Stone". (I know....I know. It's an artifact from when she worked as a band promoter). Anyhoo, I peruse it occasionally (know your enemy!), and have been surprised to find a double handful of articles / op-ed type stuff that have been critical of Obama. Mostly, the authors can't decide if he's too conservative, not liberal enough, or just flat wrong. :-)
Remember that op-ed passes for "News" in RS. Will see if they get back to toe-ing the party line as elections approach. I'd suspect that they'll be amazed at how much "Obama has learned from his mistakes" or somesuch.
Yeah there's a pant-load of butthurt over there about Holder and 0 going jack-boot on the pot dispensaries in California. Then they have Matt Taibbi, in blind squirrel fashion he's done some good investigative work.

I'm guessing you are correct.
