Bloomberg News Shows How the Big Boys Spin

Today the MSM is absorbing two news items that I think can be fairly objectively deemed defeats, or maybe just setbacks, for the Lightworker.  First, today is the deadline for states to notify HHS about their intentions regarding establishing healthcare exchanges under ObamaCare.  Thirty states will be opting out and handing the task to the federal government.  It is a difficult task and there has been alot written about whether the feds can handle it.  Furthermore, although many on the left are not talking about it (because either they wish to treat the notion as a right-wing fantasy or because they know Obama will simply do what he pleases) there is a question as to the legal legitimacy of providing the necessary subsidies to make it all work through the federal exchanges.  Beyond all that though, ObamaCare was designed to work through state exchanges, so the lack of them is unambiguously a fallback, a Plan B.  And yet Bloomberg News can still spin this as an Obama victory.

"Obama to Control Most Health Exchanges As States Opt Out."

(One ticky tack thing...Obama to control?  Really?  I thought the federal government was to control.  Is Obama synonomous with the government?  I know the media wishes he were king, but...)  Anyway, see that?  The law's implementation has to revert to the fall back strategy, but that's a score for Obama?  Subtle.

Second, comes this one.

"Rice Withdrawal Clears Way for Obama Security Team Revamp"

Got that?  This wasn't a defeat, the realization that he couldn't get what he wanted (the world knows he wanted Rice).  No, no, it's an opportunity to do what he's wanted to do all along, revamp, make things even awesomer!

This is MSM spin nearly at it's most sophisticated
