Mainstream media Obamamania continues building. Today's Chicago Tribune includes yet another "souvenir section" titled "Obama: A Life in Photos." Moreover, there are articles in the newspaper's first section on the current owner of a 2000 Dodge Neon once owned by Obama, a doodle crafted by the senator that last year sold for $2,075, and how Illinois "bureaucrats are trying to figure out whether they should preserve for posterity the chair that cushioned his posterior." Page 19 carries "They met Obama when. . . " Also on the paper's Web site, the article begins:
After the man with the big ears and the funny name became president-elect of the United States, Chicagoans were happy to tell their stories, boasting to anyone who'd listen about that time they met Barack Obama.
Some recalled Obama's confidence; others were struck by his movie-star smile.
The people quoted in the piece include two of Obama's brothers-in-laws and Illinois Senate president Emil Jones, Jr., the former Chicago sewer inspector often described as Obama's political godfather. Talk about fair and balanced.
A minister who met Obama as a young community organizer says he "was very much impressed." The University of Chicago law professor who recruited Obama to teach found him "very, very forthright."
In case those encomia are inadequate, White Sox general manager Kenny Williams recalls being "very impressed by Obama's political passion."

Looks like we have a sitcom in the making here. “Everybody Loves Baracko.”

They have to reinnoculate with the KoolAid periodically so those in the Emperor Barry cult don’t snap out of it and go nuts
There was “Carter Country” during his administration .... so why not. Be neat to have a contest here to come up with a good name for a sitcom ....
Barrak Omainia ....???? (sounds like a third world county)
What an embarrassment.
Could 0bama be the antichrist? This is what the world has come to.
This period of euphoria will last until about March. Then reality will begin to set in, and reality bites.
I just don't understand what he is talking about.

The thing about making messianic promises is that it’s a bummer when nothing happens. I’m just hoping all the Obamaniacs have new pairs of tennis shoes when Hale-Bopp comes by and their beam-up doesn’t materialize.
The first Neo-Com.
Everybody at the Chicago Tribune Loves Barack.
I was filled with confidence that I knew all the answers at age 17. By age 21 I wondered if I had any answers.
Barry Hussein Soereto is 47, for gosh sakes, and should long ago have outgrown this conceit.
I’d be interested to see the sales figures on these magazine & newspaper specials. Did they, as these people assume, go sky high with Obama in it?
I wonder because part of their assumption that he is so popular is based on the number of hits he gets on Google and Yahoo.
Let you in on a little secret guys, a lot of that is opposition research.
I stopped bringing this rag into my home on 11/05/08. Glad I did.
That means you’re missing those outstanding “commemorative editions.”
