Recently, Dick Morris said that election attacks take one of three forms: strategic, tactical, or throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks. The third is a clear sign of desperation. About four weeks ago, Democrats started attacking John Boehner. Before and after that, they attacked the Tea Parties. Republicans have been accused of pushing tax cuts for billionaires. Then, Obama and his staff chided some of their frustrated and weary supporters.
Now, yesterday, President Obama again chose to attack another
favorite whipping boy. Fox News.
You had folks like Hearst who used their newspapers very intentionally to promote their viewpoints. I think Fox is part of that tradition – it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view,
They are even attacking
liberal bloggers.
Greenwald disagrees with Daou’s argument that bloggers like him are the “crux of the problem for Obama.” If anything, he thinks the White House pays more attention to blogs like his, and the effect that they have on the “chattering class and media elites,” than it probably should.
It seems that every week there's a new line of attack by Obama and his allies.

When you have a moment, I was wondering if you'd take a look at the proliferation of mortgage fraud that has caused GMAC to enact a moratorium on foreclosures in 23 states.
I look but mortgage fraud has not recently proliferated but was a major problem all throughout the crisis.
Now JP Morgan is suspending foreclosures to make sure their paperwork hasn't come from fabricated sources as well.
