The Wash Post's op-ed page today is a nightmare. Cohen and Will get petty about PrezO.

[Captain Hilts]

It reminds me why I cancelled my subscription to the Post after they hired Michael Gerson.

In summary, Cohen trashes the president for being all style, no substance and Will says the president is "vain," as if FDR, RR, LBJ, etc weren't.

Dreadful. Don't go there. Some 'liberal' paper, huh? Thank god for the NYDN, Toronto Star and the Guardian.

1. I'm holding on to "hope" but the time for President Obama to act is NOW ...

both on ending both Occupations as well as enthusiastic support of a robust public option.

If he doesn't come out and reveal STRONG leadership some f*cking way, then voting for him in 2012 is NOT AN OPTION.

2. +0.8

(I do think that we need to do something in Afghanistan, or it will come back to bite us in the ass.)

Obama is the greatest orator we've had in many decades, and I think his heart is in the right place; he needs to shake off the yoke of DLC shills he placed on himself and use that skill for more than getting elected.

9. WE don't even live in the neighborhood. GET OUT NOW! = That's the least worst of two scenarios.

p.s. we were attacked on 9/11 with BOX CUTTERS! :wtf: ... I think we've got that low-tech angle covered for the future.

13. If you get your news from George Will, you may as well buy into Rush etc

George Will is as much of a liar as the rest of them

[Captain Hilts]

3. Well, this is about how the Post writes about the prez, not about his actual policies. nt

[Captain Hilts]

4. I take it the UNrecommends are folks that like the way the Post writes about the Prez?

You'd think the hard right turn the page has taken would not be popular here...

[OHdem10]

5. Washington Post like most Newsapapers is owned by Republican

Family. Editorial leans Republican.

This is why they seemed to carry water for GWB.

[ellenfl]

6. you left out the bush vanity. eom

[mimitabby]

7. yeah, REALLY!

[samsingh]

8. bush was no style, no substance, just awful

[Captain Hilts]

10. But, but...he had that "sunny nobility," according to Chris Matthews. And he "means what he says."

[Cha]

17. Yeah, "Bring it

on":silly:

[emulatorloo]

11. Will is a Republican Operative with an Agenda. He is one step up from Glenn Beck when it comes to

"accuracy" of his analysis.

[CakeGrrl]

12. I've seen people make the "all style, no substance" claim right here

There's a weird schism of being outraged about the MSM putting this out while people here say the same thing.

[Cha]

18. They can't bring up all that he's done so far..that would

get in the way of their "all style" meme.

[kwassa]

14. Cohen is a crackpot with no coherent point of view.

I don't know why he gets column space anywhere.

[Cha]

15. When I see "wash post"..I see

Red Flag..it's been that way for years now.

It's a rw rag. All Rag and no substance.

Fired Dan Froomkin and hired some rwinger..forget who?

[Captain Hilts]

21. I adored Froomkin. And hired Kathleen Parker, Gerson, Kristol....nt

[ProSense]

16. You're surprised that Cohen and Will are trashing Obama?

Really?

[Captain Hilts]

20. Did I say I was surprised? No, I did not. Attack me for something else. nt

[Doctor_J]

19. All Dems need to realize that EVERY MSM outlet is the enemy

these people WANT to destroy America for all but the upper 2% income bracket.

[Cha]

22. Yeah, that would be progress if your statement would materialize..

"All Dems need to realize that EVERY MSM outlet is the enemy and these people WANT to destroy America for all but the upper 2% income bracket."

This is the most important thing that needs to happen.
