The newest nutty Fox spin

The newest spin from Fox spokesmodel Jon Scott (yes, the men there are models, too):

"I mean, you know, it's been pretty obvious since about September that he was going to win this presidency. It's not like he hasn't had some amount of time to gear up and get ready for the job he's got."

There are so many things wrong with Scott's spin.

First, in September, Fox News was practically declaring the race over -- and claiming that John McCain had won, thanks to the star power of Sarah Palin.

Second, just because Fox News opposes President Obama's agenda doesn't mean he's not prepared for the job. In fact, after running the most efficient transition operation in history, President Obama has now done more in 46 days as President than many presidents do in a full term in office.

Third, and most importantly, George Bush and the Republican Party didn't wreck this economy overnight, and President Obama and the Democratic Party aren't going to be able to fix it over night. There's a lot more work to be done, but even though Republicans are hell bent on blocking the administration's economic recovery efforts, their efforts are going to fail.

Despite Fox's bleating, the American public knows that this is the Bush Recession we're in, and they know that President Obama is leading the surest path to economic recovery, which is to bring this economy back to life through massive public investments in our future.

The Republican strategy of cutting taxes for the wealthy and doing nothing for anybody else has failed us for the past 8 years, and only the jokers at Fox News want to see the failed Bush legacy continue.

Update (11:34 AM, by Jed): Black Leather Rain points out an important point I missed:

Fox was among those bleating when Obama did take steps in the interim to ensure he could hit the ground running.  There was a lot of bitching about him "not (being) President yet!"
