Interesting ... last I heard the world economy was in meltdown, there is no free-market solution in sight yet, and state intervention is running out of zeroes. And what really interests the media is stories about other smaller parts of the media dreamed up by microscopic portions of the media ... about the person on whose desk the buck has apparently stopped. So at least the focus is squarely on Mr Obama's economic competence - not. Charles
