This is a commentary piece meaning it is her opinion. It certainly doesn't make it true. Let's give a guy more than eight days to judge how well he can lead this country. How would we be judged based on our first eight days on the job. I probably would have been fired.

Brown's whole schtick is "no bias, no bull" (which has got to be one of the most mind-numbingly stupid names for a 'news' program in the history of history...), but she was said to be "in the tank" for Obama during the election and the subsequent period. She's trying to reestablish her "no bias" cred, so she's going after Obama. I get it. It makes sense. It's kind of a marketing move, but I want to keep Obama honest, too. It's not all about red/blue all the time. If we can't police people we generally agree with, as well, what are we doing?

I LOVE that right out of the gate it's clear they're going to hold his feet to the fire, even if this is a little harsh and too soon.

Poor wingnuts! if the Liberal Drive-by Leftist Media is critical of darling Obama, what will they have left? They wont be able to tack onto every crazy claim, "...but you'l never hear THAT from the liberal media!" Oh noes...millions of advertising dollars down the drain....

Better?

How much better can we stand than the shape the last administration left us in?

Too much better and we'll all be living in caves and knapping flint for a living.

I'm all for hoping our new President is successful, but it's not merely an "opinion," she is stating a fact. He proudly proclaimed just the other day that there would be no such lobbyists allowed to work in his administration and now he's going back on that promise. That is fact and not opinion.

Is a lobbyist a lobbyist if he or she no longer represents a company?

From my understanding, he has hired no lobbyists. He has hired former lobbyists.

Just saying.
