A White House in Denial

More cracks in the previously unfettered support of the MSM for Barack Obama.

"The White House wants us to present all this as part of a larger “anti-incumbency” mood surging throughout the country. But it’s much more than that. President Obama and the rest of his administration would be wise not to dismiss these findings, as they tend to do with any sort of negative criticism. Rather, they should take heed and reach out to Republicans in Congress to forge a series of bipartisan solutions to some of our most vexing problems – the kind of solutions that bridge rather than widen the ideological divide."

"Apparently, there are many Americans out there who – while initially inclined to give the new president the benefit of the doubt – have, with regard to many of his domestic policies, seen little benefit and are left only with doubt."

"It’s up to the administration to act responsibility and alleviate those concerns. It’s part of leadership."
