A much needed reminder of how the PL works

I'll say right off the bat that I absolutely hate the term "professional left". But it will suffice as a descriptor for those on the liberal side of the coin that seem to be able to find pretty much nothing about the Obama administration that they can approve of.

And when they don't have anything to get upset about, that's no problem. They just invent something. Here's the playbook for your reference:

1.Read the day's headlines.

2.Determine a spin that characterizes the President and his administration in the worst possible light.

3.If such a spin does not exist, postulate what the President and his administration's response will be. Make sure that it is as negative as possible, even if it contradicts his past behavior.

4.Write endless blogs on how the President has once again sold his "base" down the river and kicked hippies in the teeth (after punching them, of course.) It is not necessary for him to actually have done this. Your prediction that he WILL do this is sufficient.

5.When what you predicted turns out to be quite wrong, ignore that and focus on the next day's news item. No point in issuing a mea culpa. Just raise a fuss about something new and nobody will notice.

6.Lather, rinse and repeat.

Thank you for the timely reminder

Yeah, thank you, azmouse. Eclectablog has a good post over at The People's View now, too..

At some point yesterday afternoon, a legislative aide leaked that the White House was caving -- CAVING I tellzya! -- and was going to give up everything to the Republicans on raising of the debt ceiling. According to this very serious source, the deal between House Speaker Boehner and President Obama was all but a done deal.

yep, that's where I found this.

Funny thing about that "done deal" thing. Pres Obama is just about to speak on how the deficit talks have fallen apart. You'd think the whiners would get tired of being wrong all the time.

They don't care about being WRONG..they care about how much MONEY they're gonna get from the internet SUCKERS.

Yeah, they "will glady condemn him today what he may or may not do on Tuesday."
