On Sunday, Kurtz continued his finger-pointing by accurately stating, as it pertains to the focus on the junior senator's trip to the Middle East, "the media in general, not just the networks, are -- seem to me to be covering Obama as if he were already president.

“the media in general, not just the networks, are — seem to me to be covering Obama as if he were already president.”
Definitely not surprising, and seeing that between McCain and Obama, there is only candidate actually running .....

Omama-Obama is going to stick his ear in his mouth during this little trip.
He's too stupid to not do it at least once.

I'm sure McCain will get as much coverage as other presidential candidates like Bob Barr and Ralph Nader. Won't he???

Indeed, why waste the time and money to have an election and to count the votes? Our vigilant media wants to save us time and trouble. Truly we don’t deserve them, they are too kind.

Does this qualify?
"(T)he objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.
Apparently, there's been a change in the number of years a president can serve.

This topic makes me wonder how Isvestia and Pravda covered Krushchev and Brezhnev.
...any correlations and anolgies for where the US is headed is purely coincidental... NOT.

The media have researched all of the available facts and determined that the only reason they were not able to get John Kerry elected in 2004 is they just didn’t try hard enough.

Not only does the media treat him like he is president, Oblabba already thinks he is president. No election necessary this year.

Apparently, there's been a change in the number of years a president can serve. Where've you been? The change was done when we admitted the 57th state.

I’m sure the world will notice just how one sided the coverage of Obama has become. /s
Between the alphabet soup networks sending their best talking heads on Obama’s plane and Fox news giving us constant updates (via breaking news alerts) on where he is and what he is doing, McCain doesn’t stand a chance. I can’t remember all this fuss on any of McCain’s many, many, many trips to Iraq and other points Middle East. ;-(

Obama is pretending to be President. The MSM are pretending to be journalists.
