Obama Now Not Tyrannical Enough

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


Ladies and gentlemen, your Republican Party:

Do you think Grunwald is exaggerating? Nope. The Wall Street Journal, for example, spent several hundred words acknowledging that Congress’s position on the 9/11 bill was embarrassing, “But not nearly as embarrassing as the junior-varsity effort by [the president], who made it easy for Congress to trample him.” Somehow, it’s always Obama’s fault, isn’t it?

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
