Kathleen Parker analyzes Glenn Becks Restoring Honor event on the Mall as a 12 step style revival focusing on healing recovery and restoration. She notes Becks public journey from radio host to political evangelist, his self mockery and the blend of faith patriotism and media spectacle surrounding Palin appearance and King homage. The piece questions the line between recovery and grandiose messaging.

Biden as recovery pitchman fuels GOP critique of stimulus
Rich Lowry argues Biden presides over a flawed recovery narrative. He criticizes the weatherization program's delays and auditor concerns, cites weak June employment and home sales data, and accuses the Obama administration of overpromising. He compares Biden to a persistent huckster and calls the stimulus a fiscal overreach.
