Snide remark from the LAT

LAT reporter Robin Abscarian, writing in the "On the Trail" column this morning, said, "When Obama was in the Illinois legislature, not getting any executive experience, he voted "present" rather than "yea" or "nay" more than 100 times."[Emphasis added.] This was an attempt to ridicule Republican claims that Obama had no executive experience and it has no place in a news report. A piece on the editorial page would be another matter.
