Reporters are supposed to be skeptical of everyone and everything, particularly candidates for electoral office. They often fall short of
that standard, but rarely so short as they have this election year.

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has swept most of them off their feet, much to the chagrin of Obama rival Hillary Clinton.
Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer discusses the latest turn in the media's adoration of Illinois' junior senator.

Reporters are human. Since most were programmed in "group think" tanks known as universities what is expected...think about it....those who do venture outside of the "group" know what I mean...the rest stay in their cage

B. Hussein Obama is SOOOO likeable, he has ALL of America's ENEMIES, swooning for/about him AS WELL as the Lamestream "media"!

ALL of the "leaders" of the militant muslim nations, Iran, Syria, Libya, Lebonon, the Palestinean Authority, Hezbolah, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip want Obama to win the Presidency because of his "muslim ancestry" and the fact that he WILL withdraw our brave troops from Iraq and probably Afghanistan to "appease" to THEIR interests. The Democrats and the Lamestream "media" are "on board" with America's enemies!

What has sHrillary soooo distraught is that the Lamestream "media" used to cover for her and Bill the way they now do for Obama (for Rev. Wright, "Tony" Rezko, his association with terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, etc.) and all she can do is cry "foul"!!

Mr. Krauthammer has it right in the last few paragraphs of his column when he states :

"Amazing. We've gone beyond moral equivalence to moral inversion. It is now dishonorable to even make note of Wright's bigotry and ask how any man -- let alone a man on the threshold of the presidency -- could associate himself for 20 years with the purveyor of such hate.

Watching such a display, you get a full appreciation of Hillary's challenge. The mainstream media are back in the tank. The "Saturday Night Live" skits parodying media obsequiousness toward Obama, followed closely by the revelation of the Wright tapes, temporarily forced the media to subject Obama to normal scrutiny. But after the "speech" and Tuzla, they have reverted to form as protectors of the myth of Obama.

The hagiographic treatment of a newly emerged Democratic leader is a recurring theme in American journalism. At the dawning of the age of Clinton 15 years ago, the cover of The New York Times Magazine featured a woman dressed entirely in white. The heading read: "Hillary Rodham Clinton and the Politics of Virtue."

Inside, under the title "Saint Hillary," the late Michael Kelly wrote a brilliantly detached, coolly ironic deconstruction of his celestial subject. Saint Obama awaits his Michael Kelly."

The Lamestream "media" have "discovered their mesiah" in Obama because he IS a "blank slate" mostly "un-known" (as long as they KEEP his "blemishes" Wright, Rezko, et al hidden), they no longer have to hide sHrillary's (lack of) virtue and truthfullness!

This is sooo beautiful, watching all this unfold. This looooong election "season" is going to be interesting, to say the least, the most interesting I have experienced in my lifetime.

I can hardly wait for the demcrat convention and hope it is long and MUDDY!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA! and PLEASE protect us from our enemies, both foreign and domestic!
