Liberal Media For Change

I don't like to get too political, but I want change too. But not in some of the ways the liberal media might want.

Curmudgeon mode on! (Do you have to be 40 for that?)

From this article titled "Obama Weighs Quick Undoing of Bush Policy"

"In January 2001, on his first full day in office, Mr. Bush reinstated the so-called global gag rule, initiated during the Reagan administration and overturned by President Bill Clinton, which prohibited taxpayer dollars from being given to international family planning groups that perform abortions and provide abortion counseling. "

I didn't see ANYWHERE in the text that Obama was considering undoing that. The title of the piece was "Obama Weighs Quick Undoing of Bush Policy". The damned dirty hippies at the NYTimes put the above quoted paragraph in the article, THEN move on to mention some stuff Obama MIGHT actually do.

Evidently their (or do they expect our) line of reasoning to wind its way thus: Obama's in and might change some stuff-=>Obama's making a list of stuff he could change-=>here's one thing Bush did-=>Hey, Obama's for abortion and Bush was bad so we are/should be too!

Did you actually need that paragraph? NO. I love how it's slipped in to snag the careless reader and start that ball rolling.

In other news, Obama MIGHT:

• normalize relations with Cuba
• Legalize marijauna
• wear nothing but leisure suits the entire term
• return all his excess campaign funds as a taxpayer rebate
• have the letter 'M' stricken from the English language
  

You heard it here first folks! We might as well get everyone's wished for changes into the rumor mill going if we want it to happen.
