Why not?...... the rest of the freshman Senators did. Something wrong with that?
On Thursday, the new senators breakfast at the White House with the president and vice president. For lunch, Obama has a date with Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (R-Ill.), whose decision not to seek re-election opened up the seat for Obama.
Anyway, the media, both local here in Illinois and National, are really making a "star" out of this guy. Not only does he get glowing coverage, but if you notice almost everytime you see a picture of him it is shot at an upward angle.
Something sure smells about this guy and the media coverage he has been getting. He is being annointed by the liberal media as their new superstar. There is already talk of him being President in the future.
Watch out for this guy--he's as liberal as they come.
