To Realist: Seriously — did you ever look hard at the topics and themes of the articles appearing here and at the other right wing/conservative blog sites? It’s all pretty much random rubbish based on two things: a really, really fuzzy grasp, to put it mildly, of facts and context, probably due to getting info from really poor sources; and trying to portray Obama plus liberals and Democrats in the worst possible light by whatever means, however mean or stupid.

This this very article, the title of which is: “Obama’s Moscow Retreat –
The president showed the Russians equivocation and weakness. The ball is now in the GOP’s court.” But into the article itself, you find this jewel of an admission:

“Before even arriving in Moscow, Obama had seemed to set a genuinely new foreign policy tone that offered the possibility of reestablishing American moral leadership. Where George Bush met with and honored Putin’s homicidal goons in the White House — namely Chechnya war criminal General Vladimir Shamanov, who also led the Russian invasion and annexation of Abkhazia last August — Obama offered defiance of neo-Soviet aggression.”

Obama and Medvedev met on Monday and announced a ‘framework agreement’ on cutting nuclear weapons. The agreement works overwhelmingly in America’s favor.”

So Obama did good, but admitting that would amount to treason, so you have to spin it any which way you can to somehow still make him look bad.

Your long vilified “MSM” boogieman on its worst day (not counting Fox News, which I count as a right wing nut house) still had 10x the journalistic integrity of this BS that’s so typical than not of the so called “new media”.
