Impatient Americans?

The article I read on MSNBC's website describes Bill Clinton criticizing Romney supporters. Bill Clinton is stating that American's are "impatient." Clinton states that, "Gov. Romney acts like from the minute the president took his hand off the Bible he was responsible for every lost job." Critiquing this article, I see it very biased towards Barack Obama and  Bill Clinton. Not that it's obvious because the article is on MSNBC, but there is no balance. I feel that the article would be much better if there was a comment describing what Romney, Paul Ryan, or Bush...anyone really from the Republican side to say what they believe the Americans voting for Barack Obama are in their opinion. I understand why they wouldn't but the article could have brought up the "freeloaders" statement Romney had thrown around. I believe articles need to be balanced even when biased. I feel it gives educated readers a sense of what they're reading is factual and is GOOD. Good articles and stories should be able to tell something about both sides if not equally but enough for the reader to get a better grasp as to what side they like, or what they are reading. I would rate this article about a 5/10. I support Bill Clinton, I support Barack Obama. This Article was just a quick read and didn't give anything that would make an independent feel that they should look into or lean toward any of the two candidates. It's just an article wanting you to see a rough explanation on Bill Clinton's statements. The explanation is very poor in the sense sounding more of an assumption than a thought out response. I felt like I was just reading someone just say something that everyone already knows. I know that it helps Obama's case, but articles like these are not what Americans need to read. We need INFO not silly words.
