Gotta disagree with Rush on this one.
I think there will be an extended love fest well into the first year, but someone that is put on this high of a pedestal is bound to fall down...the media will be there to cause damage to his image...it’s just human nature.
[but someone that is put on this high of a pedestal is bound to fall down]
Obama isn’t going to be able to fulfill any campaign promises because they were all whoppers. Iraq: as soon as we start to leave thousands of Iraquis will die. Increasing capital gains will kill New York. Taxes cuts to 95% utterly impossible. Increased healthcare: there is no money.
You may be right about his fall.
The problem is that the MSM are not observers and reporters. They are him and he is them. They have the same world view and the same moral compass-none. This is not your father’s or grandfathers media. This is a generation and a half of ‘journalists’ that were raised and indoctrinated in the public schools and colleges for the last 30 years and became part of the profession to ‘change things’ and ‘make a difference’-i.e. make things more liberal and ‘progressive’.
“but someone that is put on this high of a pedestal is bound to fall down...the media will be there to cause damage to his image...it’s just human nature.”
I agree. I was part of the MSM when Carter was president and fawning over him his first year made me gag. As time went on they began to chuckle at his stupidity and eventually were laughing out loud. I recall a famous headline to a story that read “More mush from the wimp.” It was put over the story as a joke, but slipped by the editor.
