Since sounding the welcome alarm in a column about the media fawning over President-elect Barack Obama – “we seem to have crossed a cultural line into mythmaking,” he wrote – Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz has begun a feature called Obama Adulation Watch. The first two entries:
“Many women recoil at the thought of baring their arms in sleeveless dresses or blouses, but not Michelle Obama – half of the fabulously fit new first couple.” – Associated Press
“Experts: Obama Poised to Re-Brand America” — Huffington Post

Wow. The Wichita Eagle is just now figuring this one out?
Unbelievable.
Has anyone else seen Monty Python’s “Life of Brian” at time the phenomenon reminds me of that movie.
I preferred Obama to McCain and did vote for him, I think he is smart enough to help what is ailing the nation. But I also know that at the end of four years all will not be well he is merely human and it will take at least a decade to bring around.
“at time” should have been “at times”.
Getting out of hand? It has been a farce from the start. He isn’t a Black man by conventional standards. He is an Arab. He ran on change without telling you what change. He has had to deny everyone who would be a reference to his character. He has hid his education and accomplishments from scrutiny and the so called Media has done nothing to ferret them out, At least not like they did Joe the Plumber or Sarah Palin.
He got the black vote by posing as a black man. He got the white guilt vote the same way. You are now being told that the election was a historic event “The First Black American President” What you got was a fake Black Man with no experience, no idea how to run this country, and no character to manage it. People like that use force to cover their mistakes, like when they invite people to ask questions and they do, like Joe the Plumber. The Black movement will be set back once more.
You elected him so live with it. Hype, cover-up, lies, inaction, blaming everyone else, It is all coming.
If you are a Democrat like all that I have met you will say, “they all lie and cheat”. That makes you part of the problem not a wave of change. Bringing back the Clinton’s isn’t change by the way.
Yeah well I aint in love with him and never have been.
Heh, shrewd reference, dog!

More generally, we have a media culture that spent weeks obsessing over the death of Anna Nicole Smith.
This, too, shall pass.
this fawning over BHO has been going on for over a year, and the eagle is just now catching on…little slow on the uptake?
What are we supposed to wear a burka now? Since when did bare arms become a taboo? WTF.
From “spolson’s” whine –
“… He has hid his education and accomplishments from scrutiny and the so called Media has done nothing to ferret them out, At least not like they did Joe the Plumber or Sarah Palin….”
The Moose-Dresser has an education?
Oh, and btw, “spolson,” you left out that Barack Obama was a member of the Manson Family. Weren’t you reading “Franklin’s” pre-election posts?

Back to the subject, did anyone see Lewis Black’s absolutely hysterical take on the marketing of Barack Obama, all the more hysterical because it was so true. I was actually in pain by the time he got to Barack Obama’s place on “Mount Crapmore”.

“fabulously fit”?
Did Barack quit smoking?
Mr. Kia, Your “question” reminded me of this email I received recently.
———–
“YOU MAY BE A TALIBAN IF…”
1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to beer.
2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can’t afford shoes.
3. You have more wives than teeth.
4. You wipe your butt with your bare left hand, but consider bacon “unclean.”
5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.
6. You can’t think of anyone you haven’t declared Jihad against.
7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.
8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.
9. You think women are second class, but every man should own at least one.
Just waiting for an opportunity to post that eh Linda?
It is funny.
I don’t see how there is a correalation however.
I know lots of skinny people who smoke like chimney’s and chug coffee like it’s water.
I have plenty of vices of my own as well.
I wouldn’t describe any one of those however (myself included) as “fabulously fit” just because some happen to be thin.
yeah, spolson, yeah.
Whatever.

Mr Kia – I have worked in the healthcare field for many years and I’ve seen smokers outlive the people that routinely jog every day.
My own great-grandmother lived to be 105 yrs old and she ate fatback (not bacon) and fried eggs in lard every morning.
My grandmother just turned 94 yrs old, is only taking Motrin and also eats fried foods in lard daily.
Some people are just born with good genes and some other people can do everything the doctor tells them to do and will end up dead at age 50, while jogging.
spolson – can we all guess where he/she gets their information???
Liberals saying smoking is healthy because The One does it.
Yes, Obama mania is out of hand. LOL.
Obamamania.
Obama Nation.
Obama Adulation.
Obama Masterbation.
Obama Love.
Obama The One.
Obama God.
Obama Son of God.
Obama International.
Obama World Leader.
Obama Camelot.
Obama the Black One.
Obama the half White.
Obama the Uniter.
Obama the great White Hope.
Obama media feast.
Obama the more of the same.
It is the event of the century.
It is the act of God.
It is written in His Word.
Obama in the highest.
The prophecy has been fufilled.
The koolaid has taken hold.
Gee, maybe people are just enjoying a president who isn’t an effing idiot.
Can Obama help it if he’s the epitome of cool?
But you CONs can spend the next eight years sniping at the people’s choice. Why don’t you run ads in the newspaper with Obama’s picture and the words “Wanted for Treason” under it . . . just like Bunker Hunt did to JFK in Dallas . . . the day he was shot . . .
If Cool is the qualication why not run The Fonz for President?

re: Agnatha.
DNF anything Agnatha doesn’t like
There’s a damned good case to be made that if all the wing-nut idiots are so afraid of Barack Obama he must be doing something right.
I mean, when have the CONs ever steered us wrong?
(Except, y’know, always)
We’ve been saying smoking isn’t AS BAD as the freaks have made it out to be. Its about the only thing you can do all day every day and it takes 40 years to kill you. And that’s the person who is actually smoking the cigarette. The secondhand is SO overblown its ridiculous.
You could eat a cheeseburger every day and it’ll kill you in ten years.
“re: Agnatha.
“DNF anything Agnatha doesn’t like”
Not that simple. I respond to content filled posts I strongly disagree with.
but then there are trolls who are simply trying to get a response, whether it be from liberals, conservatives, or (in your case, to cross threads) MU fans.
