Less Tingling, More Reporting (Obama Coming Undone?)

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...

Don’t forget Al Gore.

If someone has the talent to do the artwork, I have a great idea for a bumper sticker.

It would read:

Don’t Obama n’8 My Country!

Para-Ord.45,

You`re correct by half, but only in terms of spell check.

That makes you a Spellato.

Might have been his deadbeat Dad's story - his Dad walked out on the family and didn't support Obama... or that's the story I heard.

When the Tingle Became a Chill

On the March 31 edition of MSNBC’s Hardball, discussing Sen. Barack Obama’s bowling performance at a March 29 campaign stop at Pleasant Valley Lanes in Altoona, Pennsylvania, MSNBC political analyst Howard Fineman asserted, “[I]f you can’t do something like that, you shouldn’t do it. He should have stuck to shooting hoops — which he’s very, very good at, by the way, and which translates racially, too, especially during the NCAA basketball tournament. Don’t do something you’ve never tried before in front of a national television audience, OK?” Addressing MSNBC political analyst Michelle Bernard, host Chris Matthews responded, “You know, Michelle — and this gets very ethnic, but the fact that he’s good at basketball doesn’t surprise anybody, but the fact that he’s that terrible at bowling does make you wonder.” While showing the video of Obama’s bowling, Matthews asserted, “[I]t isn’t the most macho form there.”
