Imagine the hand-wringing and teeth gnashing that must be going on in newsrooms throughout the country as the Obama Administration continues to lurch and stumble through its first term. Editors and producers must be pulling hair out by the roots as they watch the incredible incompetence of the incumbent executive branch and the breathtaking corruption of the Congress, while they remain powerless to do anything about it.

They could be reporting on the incompetence and corruption if they were not wholly handcuffed by their fealty to the historic president and the liberal Congress. Think of all the potential Pulitzer Prizes they have allowed to circle the drain as they hold fast to their rigid support of the Hope and Change Administration.

They could be reporting stories about the incompetence of President Obama to run a war, as they did with such joy with George W. Bush. They might even find fault with Mr Obama for his apparent total failure to manage the American economy, as they did with Mr. Bush, despite tax cuts that added 7 million jobs to a booming economy (largely unreported by the press). They could have addressed the real reason for the economic collapse last year: the mindless lending of money to people who could never hope to repay it, sponsored by the likes of Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) and Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT).

They might want to peek into the workings of Hilary Clinton’s State Department to determine how avowed Islamic radicals like the Christmas Skivvy Bomber are granted entry visas to the United States. Even more fun could be had by the denizens of the press if they took two seconds to examine the incredible corruption of the Reid-Pelosi congress, who are busy ramming a Health Care takeover through congress with the help of hundreds of billions dollars of bribes despite the overwhelming opposition of the American people.

Alas, the loyal leftists and socialists in the American press are simply unable to wade into the plethora of potential Pulitzer Prizes and do their jobs: reporting the facts to the American people. They are so beholden to the radical leftists in the Obama Administration and the Reid-Pelosi Congress that they continue to turn their backs on that Prize, for which journalist used to strive for their entire careers.

Editors nationwide must be pining for the good old days when a Republican administration was in town and would allow them to do their jobs. They might be able to report that the administration was dropping the ball on protecting the nation from terrorist attack. They could be reporting on the hopelessly inept dealings of the Obama Administration with the Iranian Theocracy, that is about to introduce nuclear weapons to Middle East.

Maybe the New York Times and the Washington Post will endorse the Republican candidate in 2012, so they can get back to work.
