Yes!! This has happened before in a slightly different context. It was JFK. His Presidency was certainly not as disasterous as was Carter's but the press was totally invested in Kennedy. Even the "Bay of Pigs" was played down.
Obama is getting a JFK style love fest which will intensify once he is actually in the White house. "Little" things like totally excluding any hostile press, will make this even more successful. That is saying a lot, remember the JFK fiasco got us LBJ who even the press eventually couldn't stomach. Mark my words , Michelle will be the new "Jackie".
>Even the “Bay of Pigs” was played down.
Do they even mention that in History classes?
