You Know It's a Slow News Day When ...

You know it's a slow news day when you see a headline like this.



















This headline is from CNN.com.

Isn't it awesome? It is so great that Obama will "do what's necessary" to fix the economy. It is so great that Obama will do his job.

Yes. Fixing the economy is part of his job. He is supposed to fix the economy. By law, he has to provide a budget, too. (I mean, doesn't he? Don't answer. I know I'm right.) His budget, one would think, is supposed to address this financial crisis. One would also think that lawmakers will pass a few bills that outlaw all of the overleveraging that led to America's current financial mess. One would think.

Anyway, and I don't want to pick on the writers at CNN, but perhaps a better headline would have said something to the effect that Obama insiders insist that the Pres.-elect's financial plan will work. That should be CNN's headline.
