The President traveled at our expense to Cleveland, or, if you remember when Dennis “the Menace” Kucinich was mayor, “The Mistake on the Lake,” to deliver a “major” address on our economy, being what it is.

The contrast at the Washington Post office of the “state run media” between the objective “journalists,” Karen Tumulty and Amy Gardner (We Love Barry) and the paid unobjective opinionator, the insufferable Dana Milbank (Milbank balks) screams for medical intervention!

The girls breathlessly report that, “The president’s 54-minute speech here, which at times had the ring of a State of the Union address, represented an effort to regain his footing and reframe his argument for reelection after two weeks of dismal economic and political news.” ‘Two weeks!?”  No ladies, three and a half years!

Milbank, who is not paid to be objective, an adjective that befuddles WaPo “reporters” hit his head with the nail.  Milbank writes that he “had high hopes for President Obama’s speech on the economy. But . . . the president gave Americans a falsehood wrapped in a fallacy.” (Emphasis added.) Ouch!

He added, “The falsehood is that he has been serious about cutting government spending. The fallacy is that this election will be some sort of referendum that will break the logjam in Washington.”

It is one more sad day in modern “journalism” when “reporters” wave the Pom Pons, auditioning to replace the demoralized “Obama Girl” whose crush has ebbed, and the opinionizers analyze accurately even though not paid to be truthful . . . as Milbank most often shows.
