LAT headlines are humorous, unintentionally

Yesterday's LAT headline said that Obama is frustrated, poor thing. But how would they know? Did he say he was? If so then shouldn't "frustrated" be in quotes? If not, wouldn't editorial writers need to occupy Obama's skin or mind to know he was frustrated? Maybe he just looks frustrated. Or maybe the LAT thinks he should be frustrated.

Today's headline reads: "Obama puts the heat on Republicans." The LAT apparently refers to remarks Obama made yesterday arguing that some changes to the "stimulus" that Republicans favor are like the policies that caused the current economic meltdown. It's all talk and incredibly biased news reporting.

The "stimulus" is in trouble and Obama knows it. It deserves to be. The House bill is an abomination that only a Nancy Pelosi could birth. Obama can't be seen as caving to Republicans but the "stimulus" must be made less disgusting if it is to clear the Senate.
