Four years ago, the MSM was quite happy with “Yes We Can” and “Hope and Change” as specifics from the Obama campaign. Some promises were made, like cutting the deficit in half by the end of his first term. No MSM reporters/pundits questioned these things, and they asked for no specifics. It was all a fairy tale with no reality attached. He was anointed by the MSM.
Forward to today, the MSM continually demands specifics from Romney/Ryan while never really delving into the failures of Obama and Co. A 59 point plan is not enough for them. These are the same ones who saw “hope and change” as specific enough to root for Obama.
