The gyrations mainstream media reporters have to go through to not report on the economic success story that is the Bush administration tax cuts are getting harder and harder to hide. And I most definitely agree with the comment that the economic turnaround will be front-page news should Hillary Clinton be sworn into office. Republicans overseeing an economic recovery are, after all, just so much "dog bites man" news.

Unfortunately for Ms. Clinton, if elected getting credit for the previous administration's recovery will be a double-edged sword. If the inevitable business cycles cause a contraction during her hypothetical tenure I do not think the media will give her a pass. A Clinton administration failing to bring prosperity would after all most definitely be "man bites dog" news.
