A New MSM Meme?

This column by Howard Fineman is a jaw-dropper -- an MSM journalist writing for Newsweek (and frequently appearing on MSNBC) has critiqued the President in surprisingly candid terms. (It won't be long before Jimmy Carter's calling him a racist, too.)

Fineman pulls no punches; he notes Obama's self-reverence, his repeated invocations of President Bush as bogeyman, and even (gasp!) notes his lack of experience. In essence, he tells him to get off TV and get to work.

It's a pretty stunning admission that now, it's not just the President's political adversaries who are having some serious doubts about Obama.
