Obama and the Media
Obama and the Media
by Ron Powell
The media is handling the Obama Presidency like a child with a new toy on Christmas morning. They will play with it until they wear it out or break it. We would be hard put to remember a time when so much attention has been paid to the smallest details of a new president's administration. This observation includes the love affair that we had with JFK's administration and family. Would we be hearing and seeing so much detail and analysis if McCain had won the election? Perhaps the media should be reminded that Barack Obama will still be the first African American President four years from now and, even if he is just mildly successful, will most likely become the first 2-term African American President.....

It's a Democrat thing. Dems are more like normal people so the press gets obsessed with the small stuff when a Dem is in. Just look at the Clintons, they're the perfect example of when press obsessions go wrong, it took for Obama to get elected for the press to stop watching for everything they did. The press is actually still obsessed with the Kennedy's.

The key here is that Obama can handle it.
