Does anyone remember Februry 2013?  I know people in general have short memories, but the media really can't remember anything, or they conveniently forget what they were previously so worked up over.  Back then the sequester had just been agreed to and the media was as usual spounting the Obama line that the economy would be ruined by the draconian cuts insisted upon by those selfish Republicans, in fact Obama was barnstorming the country like chicken little warning of breadlines and tent cities on the national mall.  Well, fast forward to January 2015, the economy grew 5% in the last quarter and unemployment has droped to 5.6%, but does anybody in the media remember their dire predictions, hell no.  What has really happened is the government has gotten out of the way of the economy allowing it to grow, now if it could only move over just a little more, say to the right, and reform the tax code we might see something great.  Oh, and by the way some lefties, specifically Martin O'Malley of Maryland, are blaming sequester for the shortfall in the state budget that his tax and spend policies created, and this guy wants to run for President, good luck with that buddy.
