Will There Be Any Media Focus On Boehner Making Congress The Worst Ever?

[TomCADem]

President Obama has certainly raised the inaction of Congress during a period of economic crisis, but when will the media begin to hold Boehner accountable for making this Congress the worst ever? Indeed, it has gotten to the point where the House Republicans think they will benefit from poor economic news, which just encourages them to do even less. Or, worse, waste time engaging in useless symbolic votes such as their 33rd vote to repeal HCR.

1. The only focus there will be by the media is blaming President Obama

for the worst Congress ever under Boehner's leadership.

All the Sunday shows keenly avoided blaming Congress for the slow recovery, having more Republicans than Democrats on their panels while giving the lying Repubs ample opportunity to pontificate one lie after the other.

I watched Face the Nation and so wanted to strangle that Bob Schieffer when he barely allowed Stephanie Cutter a few moments to speak while he allowed that lying sack of s**t and new Romney adviser, Kevin Madden, go on and on and on, rolling out one lie after the other. The moment Cutter wanted to refute Lying Madden's claims, Bob cut in and directed the word back to Madden. I was near shouting at my television!

Bob Schieffer did, however, point out the senseless voting on repealing the PPACA - for the 33rd time. He didn't mention that it cost taxpayers $50 million dollars to vote on it over the course of two friggin weeks, but he mentioned that he believed "they can do better" and are expected to do better. Wow. Huge rebuke there. NOT.

Why even bother if you're going to do something half-assed like that?

2. Exactly, 33 Symbolic Wasted Votes To Repeal HCR

What can any President do with that, particularly when the media fails to hold Boehner and Republicans accountable for this B.S. Worse, as you note, the media blames Democrats for the craziness of Republicans.
