Remember all those painful Sundays when the Bush administration sent out its top officials to push its agenda? Well, now it's our turn. Today's shows feature several top figures in the Obama administration to talk economic recovery and jobs. Lots of Republicans today, too, of course. Now, will any of the hosts ask these Republicans why they want to destroy the economy and prevent job creation? Doubt it. But, they should have to defend their adherence to the failed policies of the Bush era. That's what got us into this mess, although the Republicans and the traditional media overlook that glaring fact.
The new GOP Chair, Michael Steele, should explain the major scandal he's got brewing, too.
