CBS and Predicting the Future

I saw a fascinating news story on CBS this evening. It dealt with the difficulties President-elect Obama may encounter in passing his stimulus package. Not terribly interesting, in all honesty, but the tone of the piece was simply astounding. CBS spent perhaps five seconds on Obama's plan and closer to thirty forecasting the landscape of desolation inevitably accompanying its failure to survive Congress's scrutiny and be enacted. I'm willing to give Obama's fiscal/economic policies a chance (though I have my doubts), but I wish someone would let the guy be inaugurated before commenting on how wonderful his presidency has been. Just an idea...
