skewed to favor Obama Administration.

This is self-evidently true, because the ReThuglicans
say so. Hell, they didn't work their asses off to shove
their pet narrative of "Obama fails to address jobs and
the economy" down all our throats for 4 long years,
just to have big government bean-counters prove that
they are the ones who failed, in their attempt to completely
sabotage Obama's policies for economic recovery.
