-Obama's agenda already losing steam-
McClatchy Newspapers
March 31, 2009
E. Thomas McClanahan - KC Star
------------
This is a well rounded article. There is some praise, and some criticism of BO, but not the usual in-the-tank writing. If other journos would just tell both sides of the issues, no one would want to lose any source of information. I don’t care if McClanahan is left or right, he is sensible. I see some hope here.

By the end of 2009, who knows who will be working. All I know is that everyone would hate to see the one who organizes the office parties go... It's worked so far. Its a team building activity.
Lets start building stronger department teams.

'Hartford Courant' Replaces Publisher -- Combines Newsgathering With TV Stations
------------
The paper and TV station combine newsgathering? That sounds economical, but if one is slanted, the other is useless also.

Cutting back [again] is becoming a common phrase.

Media General is cutting back again in Florida, saying there are no signs yet that the economy is picking up. Its Florida Communications Group [cut 53 jobs], [eliminated] 12 vacant positions, [closed] two niche publications and [added] three more days of [unpaid furlough] to the 10 that employees were already required to take.

PRINCESS KATHLEEN SEBELIUS pays her taxes at long last. What's new? Under no circumstantial is she wanted back in the state of Kansas. Good riddance from Kansas, let the other 56 states deal with the incompetence. Watch the old MSM duck and weave start. This is getting ridiculous, even the hopeless liberals ought to see the big picture any day now.

ANOTHER OBAMA NOMINEE FORCED TO PAY BACK TAXES...
@ The Drudge Report also.
The cat is out of the bag now, or the bag is out of the bag in this case. She is the pits, the real pits.

OK... I am done with the mindless Obama bashing. Look.... he has a large budget and he is spending a lot of money but his solution to raising money is brilliant.

He will continue to appoint tax cheat democrats until they all pay their back taxes and we will be home free.

Give the man some credit. It is a brilliant strategy. No way these tax cheats would have come clean if it were not for Dear Leader. The man is a genius.

The Tea Parties plans are growing by the day. A good old fashioned tax revolt is what we need. Why should we pay taxes when these so-called elites cheat us ten ways?

I think it is getting difficult for even the in-the-tank MSM to lie away this many tax cheats. How many stories can they spike a day? It is always a small error or miscalculation, odd how that only works for Democrats. I thought Palousy was going to drain the swamp. Clearly, she is the snake in the swamp.

The tax stuff is trivial compared to Sebeljevich's habit of loading the judiciary with cronies and major contributors. Then there was the sellout of KU Hospital to Missouri business interests (speaking of screwing up healthcare).

This woman is one of the biggest political bimbos you will ever see, everything's for sale.
