For the most part, I love the Internet. However, I do not like how it provides access to anyone with a computer an opportunity to masquerade as a credible news source. The Daily Caller is a muckraking rag affiliated with Fox News, and a pinnacle of yellow journalism. Case in point, todays headline (see below). Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz doesnt make any sort of admission about Obamas work ethic. She isnt even talking about Obamas work ethic. MSNBC interviewed Schultz about the Republican led effort to sue the President for abusing his power in the scope of and number of executive orders he has issued. Schultz made the following statement in defense of the President: “I’m going to go to the House floor and actually debate why we shouldn’t be voting for the first time in American history to sue the president of the United States for doing his job, and doing his job actually less often and at a rate that is lower than any other president since Grover Cleveland.” Cleveland is the last president to issue fewer executive orders than Obama. The Daily Caller has chosen to interpret Schultz words as admitting that President Obama does his job less often than any commander-in-chief since Grover Cleveland. Clearly Schultz is addressing the topic of the MSNBC interview--President Obamas use of executive orders and the GOPs decision to sue him for doing so. However, I just know that there is a whole slew of people with grits for brains who are gleefully sharing this story with friends and family of how President Obama is the most trifling, do-nothing President this country has ever had because even the DNC chair admitted it was so. Im starting to think that there are some people who should not be allowed to participate in the free exchange of ideas that the Internet encourages. Oh, alright, I know that would be wrong... foxnews/politics/2014/07/31/dnc-chair-makes-painful-admission-about-obamas-work-ethic/?intcmp=obinsite
