Well, since you asked:
Truth! Justice! And the American Way!
What, exactly, has Obama ever done to warrant such glowing press?
Seriously, I'm not trying to be sarcastic, has he accomplished anything significant? Authored any legistation?
Climbed a tree to save a cat? Grand Marshalll of hometown July 4th parade?
Or, is he wonderful becuase Democrats and his acolytes in the media keep telling us so?
He's black and he's a Democrat.
Well, since you asked:

He is black. That is all.
In my opinion, as a black conservative, the reason he gets the press he does, is that he is a reasonable sounding Black Liberal.(I know, most people would say "is there another kind?" (black liberal, that is)
I guess he's the first black senator ever, or at least in a long time. As I posted to Peach upthread, if he were a black conservative, I dare say he'd be treated way differently.
And because he is black, and a liberal, he automatically becomes part of the "protected class" that Ann Coulter talked about (i.e. you can't talk about him, or oppose him, lest you risk being branded as a racist), joining the Jersey Girls, Max Cleland, Cindy Sheehan, any leftist who uses their military service as a weapon to beat over the head of "those who never served" (wished they'd do that to REAL draft dodgers Bill Clinton and Howard Dean)...
Anyway, that's my two rambling cents.
