They virtually acknowledge every short coming and failure and then basically imply that it doesn't matter. And the characterize every legislative victory as "historic" just because it happened. They also use every number they can maximize to make it sound historic, and ignore every possible prediction that it won't reach those numbers. And they basically totally ignore the two wars he continues to fight, only seeing fit to acknowledge the one positive in them, he actually managed to execute Bush's SOFA in Iraq so far. Half of what they claim are historic achievements are things that haven't even happened yet. In one case even acknowledging that the outcome is actually unknown:
Obama has taken heat from progressive critics — much of it deserved — over the weakest aspects of his effort to reform Wall Street. It remains unclear whether the new law — the most sweeping overhaul of financial regulations since the Great Depression — will do enough to rein in high-risk trading and end the era of Too Big to Fail.
The White House couldn't have written a more slanted piece if they tried.
