A four-hour stop in New Orleans, on his way to a $3 million fundraiser.
Snubbing the Dalai Lama.
Signing off on a secret deal with drug makers.
Freezing out a TV network.
Doing more fundraisers than the last president. More golf, too.
President Barack Obama has done all of those things and more.Whats remarkable is what hasnt happened. These episodes havent become metaphors for Obamas personal and political character or consuming controversies that sidetracked the rest of his agenda.
Its a sign that the medias echo chamber can be a funny thing, prone to the vagaries of news judgment, and an illustration that, in politics, context is everything.
Conservatives look on with a mix of indignation and amazement and ask: Imagine the fuss if George W. Bush had done these things?
And quickly add, with a hint of jealousy: How does Obama get away with it?

He would be called a Nazi.
Pray for America’s Freedom
George Bush would not have done so. He is a man of honor and decency.
Jealousy? You're projecting again, Politico.
Prone to the vagaries of news judgement??? Are you kidding me here? Vagaries? How about all out, in-the-tank, bias? Does that ring a bell?
The corrupt MSM trying to soft-sell it's own bias that has now become so patently obvious that they need to explain it away a the "vagaries of news judgement". It is raw bias on full and obvious display.
NOTICE: Each day more and more slowly but surely the media are unmasking the Obama cover-up? I think they see all the polls and know upcoming dem election losses all across the board are due to Obama. So they have to back peddle before it hits or they will have media bias (cought commie red-handed) egg on their faces.
The MSM is too busy wiping up their own drool to notice. That and shopping for heavy duty knee pads.
“How does Obama get away with it?”
Does anyone with the MSM have to ask this question???
Their water must be laced with LSD.
If President Bush was still in charge,the media would be in a frenzy over lack of swine flu vaccine.I’m sure they
would show a minority mother mourning the loss of her child and the media would say he’s letting poor children die. Of course,unden the headline KatrinaII!
what if GW had buzzed NYC w/ Air Force One?
Yep!!!!!!
The whole piece is basic a reiteration of Dem talking points. The scribbler ends up defending Obama.
So decent and honorable that he won't whisper a hint of criticism about his successor; letting instead "dishonorable" and "indecent" Dick Cheney do his dirty work huh? /sarc
Anyone can criticize any one given POTUS. But Obama is in a class all on his own.
Bush never put politics before our troops and national security. Bush never put terrorists on retainer and dissed Israel. Obama is a radical partisan hack with no experience but ties to the corrupt ACORN and radicals while voting ‘present.’
There’s a double standard. Normal people are held to a higher standard than liberals.
Instead the racists at those organizations treat Obama special because he needs the help because he is inferior to Bush. These hypocrites don't realize how bigoted and racist they are.
I really do wish the first Black President had been competent. A Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, Hershal Walker, or anyone that didn't need a Teleprompter to think for him.
Did you forget "Mission Accomplished"?
