The watchdogs of America

"Today, President George W. Bush nominated another tax cheat for his Cabinet"

"In an unprecedented move, President Bush has asked to move control over the census to the White House; it will now be run by Karl Rove"

"President Bush quietly OKs a massive troop surge in Afghanistan, sending 17,000 additional troops; refusing to hold a news conference or answer any questions"

"President Bush has said he will leave up to 50,000 troops in Iraq, after months of promising drawdown."

"The night after George W. Bush proclaimed we all have to make economic sacrifices, he introduced an unprecedented $3.6 trillion budget."

"Bush raises taxes by a trillion dollars to cover out-of-control spending."

"Bush takes first big step toward bank nationalization, buying a 36 percent share in Citigroup."

Now, substitute "Obama" for "Bush" and those stories go from the front page to page E-12.

Why?

The watchdogs have basically become a part of the executive branch. So who's left to watch them? Who's left to provide the checks and balances we need to keep our leaders in line?

Do I need to add my contempt for all Democrats right now, for knowing this is happening and enjoying it? No one should forget this.
