On The Road, Obama Faces Mixed Reaction Over Jobs

Concerning the NPR article, “On The Road, Obama Faces Mixed Reaction Over Jobs,” I think there are several problems. First, no one put their name as the author of this article; they made it seem like an unbiased report of the facts, but it is important to know the author’s typical viewpoint. No reporting is truly unbiased. I would assume this writer, or team of writers, favors the Obama agenda so they are writing to help promote his position. Secondly, this article feeds into the wrong perception that the government is supposed to fix everything. I believe that the more the government tries to “fix” the economy the worse it gets. For example look at the Solyandra mess here in Fremont, a half-billion waste of so-called stimulus money squandered on politically-correct green technology, personally touted by Obama and pushed by white house staff. Should we trust Obama to spend more taxpayer’s money (actually he just creats more taxpayer debt) on his unproven, un-businesslike, politically-correct schemes? Obama has proven he knows nothing about investing in a successful business. The liberal technocrats want businessmen to succeed so they can tax them more (read “punish them for success”) and pay for their wasteful programs. Finally, this NPR article dismisses the Republican solutions and doesn’t give them a balanced hearing. The unknown authors have a strong pro-Obama bias and probably share his ignorance about how private-sector capitalism functions. They ignore what they don’t understand.
