Despite Josh Marshall’s apparent attempt to cut Obama some PR slack, tomorrow night, President Obama will do what other first-year presidents due in their first February in office.
Deliver a State of the Union address. (It’s listed as such in the Dallas Morning News TV insert.)
When a normally reputable blog/online newsmag does this, yeah, it does deserve to get a raspberry both from conservatives, and from left-liberals, and from anybody else who wants more honesty, less PR.
That starts with an expected 5 percent dropoff for the first quarter, followed by about 2 percent in the second quarter.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
