The Messiah's media support is already beginning to peel off

It's been quite eye-opening lately to see how mainstream Democrats in the media are not only finally recognizing the Messiah for the socialist ideologue that he really is instead of the centrist Democrat he proclaimed himself to be during the election, they're also starting to document how Obama is already merrily breaking scores of his campaign promises. Some of those same pundits are also now beginning to complain about being targeted for abuse by Obama and his minions for writing and discussing their new-found realizations publicly, and for straying even a little bit off the administration's talking points reservation (We could have told them such tactics were coming; such treatment of journalists is unfortunately all too common with repressive socialist regimes).

Here's liberal columnist Maureen Dowd of the New York Times, who once elbowed other journalists aside to get to the forefront of media Obama supporters, now taking notice of the President's distancing himself from yet another of his campaign pledges, just like he did the one about not having any lobbyists in his administration :

"In one of his disturbing spells of passivity, President Obama decided not to fight Congress and live up to his own no-earmark pledge from the campaign.

He’s been lecturing us on the need to prune away frills while the economy fizzles. He was slated to make a speech on “wasteful spending” on Wednesday... Yet he did not ask Congress to sacrifice and make hard choices; he let it do a lot of frivolous redecorating in its budget."

One must assume that she must be quite outraged at that behavior, if she's willing to take Obama to task in print for blatantly breaking his "solemn" campaign vows to her and other fawning scribes.

And here's Jim Cramer of CNBC, a self-proclaimed lifelong Democrat and formerly proud Obama voter, after seeing the havoc that his preferred pick for President's terribly naive policies are wreaking on the financial markets:

"But Obama has undeniably made things worse by creating an atmosphere of fear and panic rather than an atmosphere of calm and hope. He's done it by pushing a huge amount of change at a very perilous moment, by seeking to demonize the entire banking system and by raising taxes for those making more than $250,000 at the exact time when we need them to spend and build new businesses, and by revoking deductions for funds to charity that help eliminate the excess supply of homes... To be totally out of the closet, I actually embrace every part of Obama's agenda, right down to the increase on personal taxes and the mortgage deduction... But these are issues that we have no time for now, on the verge of a second Great Depression. This is an agenda that must be held back for better times. It is an agenda that at this moment is radical vs. what is called for."

It sure seems like Cramer feels that he was sold a bill of goods, doesn't it?

Finally, here's traditionally liberal commentator Juan Williams of Fox News and NPR, on the harsh treatment he's received from far-left liberals for the heresy of analyzing Obama's legislative proposals independently and objectively, and for politely disagreeing with some of them on intellectual grounds:

"I've come to understand that when I say something that doesn't hold to the orthodoxy of the far left, they are far more vicious and personal, you know, ad hominem in their attacks against me, than anything on the right... I've discovered the far left is extremely harsh and punishing when you don't say exactly what they want you to say and stick to their orthodoxy." (O'Reilly Factor, Monday, March 2, 2009)

It would have been ever so much more helpful for these talking heads to have noticed the proclivities of the Messiah and his gang before the election, now wouldn't it?

One can only hope that these newsies will now fully embrace their long-neglected task of revealing Obama's plans in all their America-wrecking glory, in order to help stop them from being fully realized.
