O - O - O - Mr Obama, Pick Me, Pick Me

The press groupies fawning all over Barak Obama have gone to the limit. He is going to see if he can find Iraq on a map seeing as how he has NO foreign policy experience. My friend Bob in the post from Ann Coulter says he has more governmental experience than GWB or Ron Reagan. OK, I could argue GWB since he was a governor and worked with his fathers administration and was on the field in China in his youth. Seems a little deeper.

BUT Ron Reagan. Two term gov of the 7
th largest nation in the world, California? I don't think so.

None the less. I won't argue, B. Hussein
Obama is a virtual child wonder in wonderland when it comes to governmental experience. What DOES a "Community Organizer" do anyway? Has he EVER had a REAL job like say planting trees or making cabinets? Don't think so.

None the less for a second time. This story about the sycophantic press is so over the top it's almost beyond belief except for it's truth:

The three network anchors will travel to Europe and the Middle East next week for Barack Obama's trip, adding their high-wattage spotlight to what is already shaping up as a major media extravaganza.

Lured by an offer of interviews with the Democratic presidential candidate, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson and Katie Couric will make the overseas trek, meaning that the NBC, ABC and CBS evening newscasts will originate from stops along the route and undoubtedly give it big play.

John McCain has taken three foreign trips in the past four months, all unaccompanied by a single network anchor.

Obama has "proven adept at generating excitement," says David Folkenflik, media correspondent for National Public Radio. He said the anchors hope "a little bit of that excitement will rub off on their newscasts if they can convey an American phenomenon abroad, if that's what it turns out to be. Senator McCain is not as magnetic a figure in that way."

How much in the bag for Obama can anyone be and still breath? As my dear old dad used to say, they don't have enough to do.

You watch the appropriate skewering over this.
