The last sentence in this AP dispatch reads as if it's newsworthy if Obama fails to garner 100% support for his agenda. The first seven paragraphs lead one to believe that Obama is some sort of superhero for raising taxes. The final sentence admits that 'Congress is expected to resist significant portions of Obama's plan.'
One probably shouldn't be surprised that acknowledging there may be resistance to a proposal is what passes as 'hard-hitting journalism' with displays such as this. Unfortunately, you can't see Helen Thomas waiving her pom-pons because everyone is standing. But just think what a happy place it will be when Obama makes all the raindrops lemondrops and gumdrops!
