On Monday, the network morning shows were openly gleeful that former President Obama used his speech accepting a Profile in Courage Award from his liberal friends in the Kennedy family to trash Republican efforts to fix the mountain of problems created by ObamaCare. The ABC, CBS, and NBC broadcasts managed to ignore any of those failures as they cheered on Democratic efforts to use the issue to tear down the GOP.

ABC’s Good Morning America devoted three segments to the topic, with co-host and past Democratic operative George Stephanopoulos opening the show with this excited announcement: “Overnight, former President Obama takes aim at Republicans....Members of Congress come under fire....The angry town halls and now the new ads about to hit them hard at home.”
