"and surely never lighted on this orb, which he hardly seemed to touch"

As many of us on the right side of the spectrum have mentioned, commented on, bemoaned for months, Obamamania is raging all around the world. In the eyes of many, Obamessiah can do no wrong, heck, he can walk on water, save the economy, and bring about world peace all with a smooth as silk speech. Really, Obamessiah's main good points are his impressive oratory skills and pearly whites.

We all know that the press is biased, either slanted to the right, or to the left depending on the editors (or owners). This is to be expected. However, it used to be that even biased reporters would still stop at nothing to dig the dirt, come up with the exclusive, now with most of the mainstream media decidedly left-wing the only targets gone after are right-wing politicians.

With Obamamania, all we get is utter claptrap, so slanted to the left that even molasses in January have no chance of sticking. We are left to the blogs to get other perspectives. Where is the objectivity in the media?

Now even Rex Murphy bemoans this trash. Read his latest column in the Globe and Main for some eye opening treatments of Obama.
The columnist wrote, gasped, thrilled, vibrated that Mr. Obama was “… that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health-care plans … but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve.” Rhapsody is too timid a word.

In checking out the history of the big OWE I think it is important to realize that he is indeed the media's creation. There is absolutely no substance here at all. The man is a complete empty suit but the media was able to take the extremely thin gruel that is the president elect and hoodwink enough Americans into believing there is real substance here. I wait for the day that America receives its wake up call with trepidation.
