Credibility

President Job and his cohorts long ago lost any credibility they once claimed. New polls show that the vast majority of the American people agree, given that Job is hovering somewhere around 34%, which is a pretty ugly approval rating. So why does the press insist on playing objective and treating this admin like it actually has something to say, something to offer, or as anything other than a dead in the water disaster? Like, why even report that Job is "confident" they'll catch Bin Laden? Clearly confidence isn't doing the dude very much good. Job, that is.

Unrelated: how come in old cartoons, comics and movies, military punishment was always potato peeling duty? What were they peeling all the potatoes for? Stew? French fries? Just wondering.
