Is Fox News host Greta Van Susteren really a law school graduate? The language in her latest blog post today smacks of, well, some less-than-educated verbage. It also smacks of clearly partisan reporting.
Commenting on the back-and-forth between President Barack Obama's administration and House Minority Leader John Boehner over whether to extend Bush era tax cuts for the wealthy or middle class, or both, Susteren blogs:
What is wrong with President Obama and his staff? He gets what he wants and then the first thing he (and / or his staff) does is insult. Go figure. Bully? or Leader? Is that really the way to govern?
Republican Leader Boehner says he may vote for extension of the Bush tax cuts that exclude the wealthy (which is what President Obama wants) and what does the White House do? The FIRST THING the White House does in response to this news is go on attack.
I thought President Obama was looking for help for his policies and seeking bipartisanship -- instead he is escalating the war with the Republicans. This was so dumb to do. He should have embraced the opportunity for agreement. Is this about leading or winning?
When will President Obama learn that leadership is different from campaigning?
Will Van Susteren learn that partisanship is different from reporting? She also happened to link to a New York Times article to attempt to make her argument. Guess that paper is not as bad as some at Fox like to think.
