SNL pokes fun at the president and the NYT issues a warning

It's a big deal when generally left-leaning Saturday Night Live parodies the president as it did regarding Obama's recent meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao in Bejing and Jintao's resultant lecture on America's mounting deficits and dangerous fiscal policies including ObamaCare. This video indicates a crack in the absolute confidence the left has shown toward Barack Obama.

Then, according to MoneyNews.com (Newsmax), the New York Times wagged its finger at the Obama Administration. U.S. Racing Toward Debt ‘Shock’ - A page one, top-of-the-fold New York Times report Monday warns that U.S. debt is rising so fast that the federal government is careening toward a "payment shock" in the not-too-distant future. ∴ The Times lead headline read: “Federal Government Faces Balloon in Debt Payments: At $700 Billion a Year, Cost Will Top Budgets for 2 Wars, Education, Energy.” ∴ The Times headline appears eerie just as the Senate moves to push forward on a radical healthcare reform — with CBO estimates for a final bill costing nearly $1 trillion dollars over the next year.
