Irony is not the right word. But a quick scan of a thesaurus finds none that provides the appropriate fit. That could be, perhaps, because nothing really fits since what happened last week is so surreal. Then it occurs. Surreal is not the right word either. Whatever the word, whatever the explanation, whatever we call it – whatever happened last week -  should not go unnoticed. But largely, it will. It will because the media, largely, are a cheering section for this president instead of serving their role as watchdogs. Last week, in a piddling blog post no less, the Obama Administration announced that it would delay, by a full year, the implementation of the major piece of its signature legislation. After telling us for years what a wonderful thing Obamacare is, President Obama was forced to admit it isn’t all that wonderful just yet/Dan Hammes, St. Maries Gazette. More here.

Question: Was the story re: delay in implementation of major piece of Obamacare legislation underplayed by media?
