Thank you all for your comments. I see this diary is no longer up on the recommended posts list on TPMDC. Do they have a 24 hour rule and start the counter over each day? In any case, although I have a few more thoughts, I'll save them for another post in a day or so.

MiddleClass,

Your's is prcisely the mantra I am referring too. Neglect of our energy future and a healthcare system that burdens our businesses and workforce and denies basic human dignity to so many is exactly what fueled the democrats to their electoral victory in 2008.

To "slow down" and accept the policies that built our unstable economy and created the widest gap been rich and poor since the guilded age would, in my view, be an admission that the campaign "change" theme was nothing but a slogan.

And where is the evidence that continuing to neglect energy, healthcare, and rapacious income inequality will produce a future any better that the one we will get if we bite the bullet and address the big issues that face us all?

dcben Commented on FOX is the Ashley Todd Villian: Fire Moody by dcben

The Fox Sunday panel has just spent almost its entire discussion on how the MSM has "drunk the Obama cool aid." Not a mention (surprise, surprise) that its own VP for News Ops has written, without a hint of criticism, that it "had to happen" and that the American people would make a negative judgment about a candidate because his father came from Kenya when faced with a random act of violence perpetrated by a unrelated black man against a white woman on a Pittsburgh steet.

Bias indeed.
