Obama’s days of walking on water won’t last indefinitely. His chroniclers will need a new story line. And sometime after Jan. 20, they will wade back into reality.

Obama hasn’t walked on water yet. The liberal media have portrayed him as everything from FDR to the second coming. When they find out that he is actually a mere man, and quite unqualified for the job, maybe the bubble will burst.

Now that the election is over, Kurtz lets us in on the “secret” – that the media heavily favored Obama in coverage. Just look at this video to see just a smidgen of the media influence.
these post election mea culpas are worth pretty much nada. where was Howie Kurtz when it mattered? Sitting on his hands, unwilling to jeopardize the MSM candidate of choice….
I’m not sure I agree with this analysis. I think there’s a good chance that Obama will be excused from every mistake he makes for a very long time. Certainly, anything that goes bad on the economy in the first two years will be blamed on Bush – maybe even longer. In contemporary American society, it is very difficult to criticize black people because of the fear of looking racist. We’re going to see this effect on the national level now. It will be interesting to see how editorial cartoonists and SNL make fun of Obama. These people all know that the slightest mistake could mean the end of a career.
I think there’s a good chance Obama will be one of most powerful presidents ever because of this sort of immunity. But we’ll just have to see.
Please don’t forget that Chris Matthews has promised that the job of journalists from here on out is to make sure that the Obama Presidency is a success.
That ‘tingling feeling in his leg’ must have affected his judgement as well.
