I firmly believe the point of no return happened with the Officer Crowley/Prof. Gates debacle. Obama revealed himself to be a racist and not post-racial. The fact that Obama ceased having formal WH press conferences for nine months after his off the cuff remarks at the Press conference was the telltale sign that he had committed a major mistake.
I think the media covered his rear that time, but there isn’t much they can do about this latest episode.
(Personally, beyond the original 'sin'; took great offense at the 'shirt sleeves' turned up and Obama/Biden appearing w/o jackets that made this photo-op most offensive whereby both Obama and Biden as hosts, knew their guests would not be showing up showing rolled up, shirt sleeves. Thought the contrast most insulting; as Libs cannot help to be, in their hypocritical assumptions of another's place in the world.
That said; relating to Obama. . .my first fear and loathing came upon me, when Obama gave his first major, prime-time sermon - a power-lusting portent - speaking - August 28, 2008 at DNC Convention. . .
