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.
What’s remarkable is what hasn’t happened. These episodes haven’t become metaphors for Obama’s personal and political character — or consuming controversies that sidetracked the rest of his agenda.
It’s a sign that the media’s 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?

There are signs the friendly tone toward Obama is ebbing. Case in point: a front-page story in The New York Times noting that Obama’s all-male basketball games drew fire from the head of the National Organization for Women, who called the games “troubling.”

It may be because BO is black that they treat him with kid gloves.  That's what his Big Money Backers counted on!

One thing is apparent - the last two presidents were major boobs (pun intended, Barackevileye).  No wonder Hillary didn't have a chance in hell - she wasn't what the BMB was looking for!

I think they're often looking for somebody mallable, and Hillary Clinton sure isn't that. The MSM have been giving Obama a pass since the beginiing also because he's black *enough* and he's very liberal. They would've vilified Bush for waffling with Aghanistan alone if he had done that. He's played more golf in nine months than Bush did in over three years and will retaliate at any negative coverage. The MSM are starting to resemt Obama, and rightly so.

Fox, I think it was Hannity, did this last night. It is clear the media fears speaking out for fear of being called a racist.

I am sick of it. I no longer care what I am called. What I see makes me sick.

I get so angry seeing "that one" doing phony photo ops with military. They cannot speak, he is spitting in their faces, and it makes me sick. This is  HIS war and he needs to send the needed troops. He is leaving those already there to die from lack of needed support. furious
