Wow...

The Globe really straps on the ol' kneepads for 0bama:

Amid war, recession, Obama presses on

Some select quotes:

But the vast majority of Americans still believe, according to polls, confident that the heavy work of the first three months will succeed in stimulating the economy while making meaning ful progress on improving national healthcare, reversing climate change, and restoring the country's image in the world.

"Vast majority"? Excuse me? I'm going to have to pull out the "put up or shut up" card here - let's see your evidence that the "vast majority" of Americans think 0bama's plans will succeed - especially with recent polls showing less than half believing the country is headed in the right direction.

Obama's actions have been so transformative - taking over governance of entire industries, changing regulations that touch most Americans directly - that his administration almost has to be a milestone, for good or ill.

Yes, America turning to full-fledged socialism is a milestone of sorts. Of course, a president could also declare full nuclear war on Russia, leading to complete and total destruction of the human race, which would also be "transformative" and "a milestone". Offer some analysis rather than soundbites, please.

Starting with the transition, Obama wisely prepared his supporters, so expectant of instant change, for a much longer haul. And his personal discipline - so different from Bill Clinton - and deliberate, well-spoken ways - so different from George W. Bush - have created an air of quiet diligence around himself and his administration.

You have *got* to be kidding me. Has anyone listened to this clown stammer on and on? Uh... uh... uh... Or watched him read the wrong thing on the teleprompter? This is "well-spoken"??? An "air of quiet diligence"?? Do they even know what that word means in this context? 0bama has "prepared his supporters"? How? What the hell does that even mean?

Obama's self-confidence has allowed him to let Congress take the lead on healthcare and climate change, two areas that were central to his campaign; he has resisted establishing his own task forces, like Clinton, or trying to impose his own will, like Bush.

Now it's a virtue that he's sitting back and let others do the work - and take the heat - for initiatives he promised to spearhead? Let's see this for what it is: the Boston Globe is suggesting that doing nothing is a positive attribute in a new president. Yeah. Get back to me on how that's gonna work when the president has an (R) next to his name...

In casting his refinancing of mortgage debt as a return to traditional lending, his spending programs as long-term investments, and his intervention into business as a curb on reckless speculation, Obama makes liberal programs sound conservative.

Uh, no. Hell no. Government intrusion into banking and housing markets is not conservative. Hell, it's even barely Republican. The Globe has, in this sentence, managed to completely argue 180º from reality. 0bama's heady rush to socialism is in direct opposition to conservative calls for limited government; his spending is so far removed from anything even resembling financial conservatism. One almost has to wonder if the Globe even realizes how silly it sounds...

To protect himself, Obama included in his budget some modestly painful cuts and plans to raise revenues, as he sought to convey the notion that he could be a responsible guardian of the spending spigot. Farm subsidies, many policymakers agreed, were ripe for cuts; only the beneficiaries seemed to think the nation's farm policy was working well.

Wow. Just wow. They find the one thing he's even hinted might get cut and simply gloss over the massive tax increases that are going to be needed to fund his utopian socialist ideals. Yeah. That's "conservative" in the Globe's fawning adoration of 0bama.

Foreign policy is another source of potential vulnerability. In moving to quickly implement his priorities from the campaign - assigning top-level envoys to the biggest problems, while sending conciliatory signals to some entrenched adversaries - he has arguably laid the groundwork for future success.

And alienated allies, sucked up to dictators, and projected massive weakness to our enemies and those that would do us harm. We've shuttered Gitmo, apologizing for detaining known terrorists, and wrung our hands over measures that have produced valuable information needed to protect American lives. Oh, and bowed to a foreign potentate.

Now Markey and other Democrats who lived through a quarter-century of intermittent Republican domination are hopeful that Obama will emerge as their equivalent of Ronald Reagan, an epochal figure who keeps voters aligned with his party for the long term.

100 days in, and they're already comparing 0bama to the man who won the Cold War? You're joking. To say nothing of the fact that if the media had cast 1/10th the critical eye on 0bama that they turned on Reagan, he'd have run back to Chicago by Day Three. The coverage of 0bama - since Day One - has, for the overwhelming part, been nothing short of fawning. The media has completely and utterly failed to perform even the most cursory of "journalism" when it comes to his background, his plans, or his policies. Had 0bama faced even the most basic scrutiny, they'd realize his name doesn't even belong in the same sentence with Reagan's. Well, not without a negative in between...

With "coverage" as slanted, stilted, and stunted as this, is it any wonder that the Globe is staring down the barrel of oblivion?

That is all.
