    In general, the media has no currency because they have printed journalist of one political viewpoint without restraint. As a result, they generally have little value other than to enable those of similar belief. They will, without doubt and equivocation, state it was a steep (if not steepest) climb but it was performed in unbelievably excellent manor by the new administration. If there are any problems, the press, in general, will point to those outside the office of the new President as being unreasonable in some manner. If it is certain, in some circles, that the blame (in particular incompetence/corruption) lies with the new President, the press will rationalize the events by cherry-picking the facts and repeating those cherry picked fact over and over and over again until the majority and history believes.

    Gotta kick out of the first sentence...as if the answer to question was unknown.

    Seriously now, you've got to be kidding. We're going to fault the incoming president for the evil-doing of an outgoing president and his minions--currently busying themselves with 11th-hour nastiness in the form of Machiavelian regulations--who seem to have brainstormed ways to destroy faith in and operations of the federal government.

    If it goes off without a "hitch" it will be the direct result of The Chosen One. If there are issues, it will be all Bush's fault, says the koolaid drinkers!
