Why do we need to know Obama has caught Lin-sanity?

So that the media can continue with the meme that all is well with the economy, so vote Obama 2012!  And while the media continues to ignore things like struggling home ownership, rising food prices, and an unemployment rate that doesn't include those who have fallen off the long end of benefits, we have our administration trying to talk out of both sides of its mouth.  On one hand, at the Supreme Court, we're told the mandate that all must purchase health care is, in fact, constitutional since it's not a mandate at all.  It's really just a tax, which the government can obviously impose. But at a congressional hearing, when President Obama's acting budget director Jeffrey Zients is asked repeatidly if the mandate is actually a tax, he informs us that it isn't a tax at all.

Thus, while such dalliances under a GOP presidency, not to mention threatening constitutional rights by telling outright contradictory statements at the same time, would warrant round the clock network news coverage preempting all other programing, the media must continue to keep our eyes off the man behind the curtain by such fluff stories as Obama's new love affair with Mr. Lin.
