Shove It to the OP-Ed Page

I don't think it's a big deal for Obama that three secretary nominees withdrew from consideration (Gregg, Daschle, and already forgotten the 3rd). The "tell me what I think" media says it's a big big deal " "fresh embarrassment," "rocked by setbacks" all in front page objective news pieces. Not a fan.

What IS a big deal to me: the stock market doesn't like the stimulus plan. Middle America (you know, the people who save their money to actually pay for kids' college or retirement) are watching their savings disappear and thinking about the mattress banking system as a real option. Not too much good information on this one -- must hurt the brain to actually think.

It'd be nice if the media could FOCUS on the issues and stop feeding and employing the wing nuts. One more thing, is it too much to ask the print media to shove their opinion to the OP-ED page??
