The AP calls this reporting?

Edited on Mon Aug-17-09 04:23 PM by Thrill

Liberals complain over Obama concession

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama's weekend concession on a health care "government option" drew complaints from liberals and scarce interest from Republicans and other critics on Monday, a fresh sign of the daunting challenge in finding middle ground in an increasingly partisan political struggle.

Huh? When did Obama do this? Of course the article can't back up an Obama concession on the Public Option.

2. Probably a reference to this.

=======================
In Colorado, Obama promises 'common-sense' healthcare

"The public option, whether we have it or we don't have it, is not the entirety of healthcare reform. This is just one sliver of it, one aspect of it," Obama said. "And by the way, it's both the right and the left that have become so fixated on this that they forget everything else."

5. The media are the long knives and they are getting things done

for their constituents; the Republican party.

Of course, they couldn't do it without us, and we are there and happy to oblige.

4. Of course not. AP doesn't even know what reporting means.
