President Finally Unites Americans: Everybody Hates Obama’s Budget

Let’s start with the most obvious signal of unity: If President Obama has lost a liberal like Taylor Marsh . . .

A Great First Sentence

One basic thing you learn as a journalist is that, once you’ve got the lead right, the rest of the story almost writes itself: If the news media hadn’t told you how brilliant Barack Obama was every day for  the last six years, you might have your doubts. Read the whole thing.
