Swear to God, this is the lead
paragraph of a New York Times
article by Peter Baker:
President Obama must be touched by all the concern
Republicans are showing him these days. As Congress examines
security breaches at the White House, even opposition lawmakers who
have spent the last six years fighting his every initiative have
expressed deep worry for his security.
If the sarcasm of “touched” and the jaw-dropping deployment of
the word “even” don’t make it clear enough, Baker later writes,
“Yet it would not be all that surprising if Mr. Obama were a little
wary of all the professed sympathy.” And he finishes the article
with the sardonic phrase, “all with Mr. Obama’s interests at
heart.” What a rancid view of the world.
In unrelated news, The New York Times today
announced it is
eliminating 100 newsroom jobs, due to poorer-than-expected
financial results.
