Obama is a rock star with groupies and those that idol warship him. I'm shocked that they don't have life size posters yet of him so that people can put up in their rooms. From girls fainting, national conventions that were nothing more than a music concerts and shows devoid of any substance, to his pretty suits and big white teeth and slender figure which he showed off during the campaign, Obama is nothing more than the Brittany Spears of politics.
Because the electorate is ignorant, the fact that the Democrats have had the financial reigns in their hands goes unnoticed and Obama can blame a previous administration that was more or less going along since 2006 with whatever this Congress was putting in front of him. Obama is getting a "free pass" on both the state of the economy and spending because he can appeal to ignorance. Of course the "so called" watch dog of the government treats him like the messiah and feel compelled to act as a sort of unofficial press agent for the Obama administration. His popularity, novelty, the ideological leaning, and the political symbolism of what Obama stands for is so overpowering for the media that they have near zero objectivity.
