Do you get the feeling that the corporate media is trying to help paint Obama as a tax and spender

to help the GOP? I've seen one story after another lately about the exploding deficit and how future generations will pay for it, and now about the Obama administration not ruling out tax increases to deal with it. They tend to forget to mention how we got to where we are thanks to 8 years of bullshit economics under GW Bush which put us on the road to economic calamity which the Obama administration has to deal with.

1. They have to begin telling people how they will collect the funds.

Our large debt is making bondholders nervous.

3. Yes, and it contrasts the media coverage of the no tax and spending of George W. Bush

I've heard GOPer after GOPer whine and cry about how the "cash for clunkers" program and health care will burden our children and grandchildren for decades to come. But not once did any of these media whores bring this up when Bush wanted to experience "wargasm" and now we're out almost $3 trillion for that alone...

6. Yes, but not to help the GOP. They truly believe he is.
