The media's infatuation with and providing cover for President Obama is old, old news. Whether the MSM is ignoring the illegalities of the automaker bailouts, the cost of the proposed health care bill, or any of the other serious Obama stories, it's been covered on some website somewhere.
What I find interesting are the almost daily news snippets about nothing. I don't know if your local rag has similar stories, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has been running small stories almost daily since the swearing-in.
Among some of the recent hard new stories about Obama are:
1. Obama's kids have to do chores (in today's paper).
2. Obama ate a hamburger (this was a story a few days ago).
3. Obama went swimming.
4. Obama played basketball.
5. Barack and Michelle like to snuggle.
As I said, the paper has been running these little fluff stories since January 20th. Certainly there are other more newsworthy events, yet the editors choose to devote precious column space (especially considering that the paper is now just a few pages long) to the most trivial events in Obama's day.
Even Elvis or the Beatles didn't get this kind of press. It's more than disgusting, it's weird. I'd like to sit an editor down and have him explain the decision to run a story about Obama going out for a hamburger.
Or maybe I wouldn't want to hear the explanation.
