The media's fawning over Obama....

Fellow ODBA blogger Jim Patrick in Shenandoah Valley has a good post exposing the media's hypocrisy in covering President George W. Bush versus Barack Obama. Jim wrote:
Michelle Malkin quotes the press attacks and snide treatment about George Bush’s physical fitness, and then contrasts that with their raving adoration of Barack Obama:
“. . . he was photographed looking like the paradigm of a new kind of presidential fitness, one geared less toward preventing heart attacks than winning swimsuit competitions. The sun glinted off chiseled pectorals sculpted during four weightlifting sessions each week, and a body toned by regular treadmill runs and basketball games.” –Washington Post
Barf and double barf !

That’s the language of romance novels, not newspapers. But the press adores Barack Obama. It is not "like," it is not favoritism or approval; it is fawning, nauseating adoration. The adoration teenagers have for their heroes. So here is a rule to remember in the coming presidential term:

Clinton had Monica
Obama has The Press
The honeymoon may end, but to start with we will have to endure the "my man, he can do no wrong" that star-struck lovers gush.
And so the media hypocrisy continues....
