The Roanoke Slant

-
Roanoke Times, 6-1-11, Pg 6: Things look rosy for second Obama term. He is benefiting from achievements and the absence of negatives political experts say.
-
Seventy square inches of unadulterated free proObama political propaganda and hype. These Roanoke Times Editorial Girls have no shame or remorse. They’re reminiscent of Russia’s Pravda crowd.
-
So what are some of the Negatives that Obama doesn’t have:
-
RT, same page: House votes down debt limit proposal with 82 Democrats voting against the Obama proposal to raise the debt limit with no spending cuts.
-
RT, same paper, Pg 10: Index hits new low as home prices take a ‘double dip’
-
RT, same paper, Pg 10: Higher prices cause huge drop in consumer confidence, a key indicator of health for 70% of the nation’s economy.
-
RT, 6-2-11, Pg 3: The administration said the $14 BILLION losses on taxpayer money given to GM & Chrysler are less than expected and a good thing.
(since when is loosing $14 Billion of tax dollars a good thing?)
(not mentioned were the widows, orphans and retirement funds that lost all their bond investments as part of the Obama-GM-TakeOver --- for many their life savings)
-
Pg 8: Shortages and $4 gas have stalled US auto sales in May.
-
USAToday, 6-2-11, Pg 1: Dow drops 280 points on sour economic news.
-
Pg 1: Treasury Bond 10 year yields fall to 2.9% -- (Another Obama ‘good thing” for retirees and retirement funds that depend on this income)
-
Pg 4B: Sluggish manufacturing & hiring pull stocks into a hole. High energy prices negatively impacting the economy.
-
RT, 6-3-11, Pg 1 & 7: Recovery losing steam based on manufacturing, car sales, home prices and unemployment claims all pointing to a weakening economy.
RT, Pg 7: Economists say recovery may see prolonged slowing.
RT, Pg 7: Pinched by gas costs, shoppers pull back.
(sure looks like a double-dip recession --- doesn’t it!)
-
Much of the middle-east is in turmoil and chaos with no clear Obama strategy or plan to guide the outcomes to be compatible with American and Israeli interests. GITMO is still open and the 9/11 and Ft. Hood bad guys have not been tried and executed and Obama still can’t say “Radical Muslim Terrorist”.
-
A cursory view of the above data, much of which is buried within the RT papers should cause one to wonder if the RT Editors are brain-dead in order to run a free Obama political ad with the heading: “Things look rosy for second Obama term. He is benefiting from achievements and the absence of negatives political experts say”.
Don’t these girls read their own paper and follow the real news?
-
Obama may well be reelected but that will be the result of Republicans once again causing self-inflicted wounds upon themselves with lots of TeaPary assistance and not because Obama doesn’t have lots of big negatives.  Also the big indebted labor unions, George Soros & associates and the massive liberal press will employ all means possible to reelect Obama.
-
Yet more Obama negative 'nonnegative' news:
RT, Pg 1 & 3: Unemployment back up to 9.1%:  Bleak jobs report for May dampens hopes of steady recovery from recession.  "Plunge in jobs refuels doubts about recovery"
Are the RT Editorial Girls reading these news items or what?
