Less Tingling, More Reporting (Obama Coming Undone?)
http://www.spectator.org ^ | 3/31/2008 12:08:17 AM | Jennifer Rubin

We have come a long way since Chris Matthews told us his leg was "tingling" when he listened to Barack Obama. Well, sure, the liberal punditocracy is still playing defense for Obama -- insisting he is not really all that liberal (as the New York Times did last week) or trying to convince us that he was actually wise not to break with Reverend Wright (as the New Republic did). But more and more you see the MSM sharing tidbits of information that show him to be less than the Gandhi-like figure he originally was made out to be.

...Obama blew his chance at snatching John Edwards's endorsement by sheer arrogance.

Newsweek's largely biographical cover story did a little digging and found that his personal life stories as told by Obama are frequently contrived, and not entirely accurate...

The Washington Post follows up with an examination of his oft-told tale that the Kennedy family helped bring his African father to America where he met Barack's mother, concluding "the key details are either untrue or grossly oversimplified."

IN SHORT, OBAMA is short on authenticity and long on imagination, putting him in the same league with Internet inventor Al Gore or Sir Edmund Hillary Clinton. It's possible that the Illinois senator lacks the ability to tell the difference any longer.

These are distinct signs Obama's media free ride is coming to an end...

First, there may be some guilty recognition that the media fan club overplayed their hand...

The second factor may be the media's own reaction to the Wright episode. These overwhelmingly liberal reporters were the cheerleaders...

Nothing offensive whatsoever in your post, IMO.

“Is it me, or is Hussein just the mullato version
of Jean Pierre Kerry, a consumate liar ?”

Obama is worse. Obama sought out and allied himslf with marxists, extremists, Farakhan, this Wright guy, leftie professors. He’s a died in wool leftist. His manner and media bias are the #1 things making him seem moderate.

Just ask yourself: Who has really challenged him on his opposition to Born Alive Infant act? Or his cap gains tax hikes?

The story now is a simple one. It is not if Uncle Jeremiah will continue to hurt him. The story is how long can Obama keep him bound and gagged.

That's what Rush was saying today...and this the reason they are trying to get Mrs. Clinton packed up in the car heading home. Rush thinks that McCain can beat either of the two easily and that the Dems know this. Hence, their panic to get Mrs. Clinton off the stage so they can protect Obama.

The difference is that Obama is even more dangerous.

Agreed.

The old man was a bum, a polygamist and a drunk.

That explains the Kennedy endorsement anyway.

See this article about his grandmother who raised him and whom he sued in a sick moral equivalence with the ghastly racist preacher of his.

I’m not too sure you can say he isn’t a Muslim. I think he is but just goes to his racist church because he likes the anti-American speach there.

It is not often that liberal media outlets make life uncomfortable for one of their own, but when they do, it is usually with the vehemence of a scorned and disappointed paramour. It's not every day this conservative can say: Keep up the good work!

Excellent article but still keeping my fingers crossed about the writer's read of the media.

Obama is just the far left status quo in a new improved Hershey wrapper.

Rush said to prepare ourselves for a Reuters article which will state that 50% of docs support socialized medicine...due out at 5 p.m. today.
