The media gets-it, the economy, stupid, that is

Why do "Americans Hate their Fabulous Economy" from a "professor at a major research university, a registered Democrat and a liberal by most measures"

My take on this: It's the fault of the old-stream media. If it were Clinton in office, then this would be the greatest economy of all time, according to the consensus from the left leaning media. The media is powerful, because their push-polls drive public opinion. They've managed to take a good economy, and tar an feather it with their unrelenting negative opinion. Why? They dislike Bush in particular and desire to let the Democrats take back control of congress. The old-stream media likes to wield their power, and they like big government. When are they going to realize that between the Democrats and Republicans, there isn't much difference as far as the size of government is concerned. They both grow government and bureaucracy. So for we the people the choice is between the lesser of two evils, so to speak.
