CNN is warning Americans that already making Barack Obama into one of America's greatest "heroes" may not be a good idea. Despite the fact that Barack Obama has yet to take office, despite that he has yet to really do anything to earn that status, CNN is saying that "already, he's being compared to the most remarkable leaders."
It might make one amazed that now, after cheerleading for him for the last four years, CNN suddenly finds that calling Obama a hero is not necessarily the best idea. "The Americans who are comparing him to those remarkable predecessors," CNN warns, "are putting a lot of faith in a man they barely know."
And why do we "barely know" Barack Obama, CNN? Is it perhaps because the American media never took the time to vet this man? Is it because all we've gotten is hero worship from the media?
Still, CNN is quite right that putting Obama on a pedestal before he has even done anything is quite dangerous. In contravention to all of America's past notables that became national heroes after they actually achieved something above and beyond, the media has bestowed this status upon Barack Obama ahead of any such achievement. Unfortunately, this sort of sycophantic deification undeserved risks a crash-and-burn greater than that of any other public figure in history and also courts an increase in racial tension that might seem to have been tampered by his election. As Obama fails to live up to the glorified hype the fall back retort to detractors will be to claim that they are racists. This will not help the US at all.
I seriously hope that Obama is at least an adequate chief executive for these United States. If he is not, this country could be in a serious mess both socially as well as politically.
But, I am afraid that what we are seeing with this CNN report is an early example of the media attempting to claim that it "warned" us all that things might not be so wonderful in Obamalot, a sort of plausible deniability of their complicity of hiding his past so he could win election. Even as the media is a chief reason that Obama became president in the first place, some outlets have begun to act as if they are now interested in "truth" and the "news."

December 1, 2008 - 06:52 ET by flyingmonkeyIf CNN wants to know Obama, all they need to do is check out some conservative websites that took the time to actually vet the man.
I know Obama. He is the first Affirmative Action President who has conned his way through election after election with no serious opposition. Since he's hidden his high school and college transcripts it's conceivable that he's a below average student who counted on his minority status and the kindness of strangers, rather than his grades, to further his education. He even had to count on an anarchist to write his book and give him false notoriety as an author.
Does CNN need to know more??? I've got a million of 'em.

Let's not paint a broad brush here, he was able to surpass the Clinton machine, that is something, but I think that may have to do more with the media helping him though, but he still did beat her (something about mentioning Hillary and a beating makes me feel happy - Beat her!

December 1, 2008 - 07:05 ET by Indiana JoeNow that the media's loving blitz in the name of The One has born fruit, CNN has remembered that they're supposed to report the news, not make it or "frame" it, or use it to interfere with the governance of this country.
They've also realized that their sycophancy has alienated a major bloc of their viewers. Honestly, how many real far-left socialist types actually watch CNN? So they're trying to regain the "gravitas" they jettisoned in their starry-eyed adulation of their "post-racial" messiah.
But mainly, it's probably a case of "lowering expectations," so that any failures on Obama's part tarnish the halo the media placed on him to the minimum extent possible.
Suddenly, they seem to "get" my latest tag-line! ;^)

December 1, 2008 - 10:36 ET by SQL_SamIt is a CYA, and it's pretty pathetic one. What I mean by that is - was it covered and mentioned through out the day on top of the hour? Or is just a blurb, I'll bet it's just a blurb, or the scrolling text on the bottom that no one reads. Like how the papers hide it on the back pages - you'll never see it on the front page.
I also went to a 7-11 this weekend and saw a barack Obama magazine - I don't remember Reagan getting a magazine put out before he was even the president. The love fest is just discusting - believe me it's going to get worse. I'm just waiting for his doo doo to show up on Ebay and laugh as I watch the nutt jobs who'll bid on it (I'm sure CNN will put in a bid)

Does Wolf Blitzer have a bad memory, convenient memory, or is he stupid? Who knows? For a prominent news person on a prominent (supposedly) cable TV news channel to not know about Joe Biden's plagiarism is all I really need to know about CNN.

I think this says it all. They know that Obama can not possibly live up to the expectations hoisted upon him by ALL the MSM so they are gradually trying now to soften the blow when things go wrong. But, this website and others have essentially documented the fawning of Obama by the MSM, and reported the lack of vetting of him, and the plain "non-reporting" of important facts that they didn't want out there. It will be fun to throw this back in their faces when they claim that they "warned " us.

Media Confused on Character
December 1, 2008 - 09:26 ET by legacyrepublicanUntil the media admits that they "Fast Tracked" Obama into the White House, they cannot say they fulfilled MLK's standard in the "I have a dream" speech by examining his character.
Quite simply, no one knows this man's true character because Obama was not put into the crucible of media scrutiny.
However, the early signs are not good.
MLK was pro-life, Obama is not. In fact, he wishes to fund more black abortions here in America and use his influence to increase abortions throughout the world -- especially Kenya, his father's native land. ( BTW, did the media ask Obama if he knew that abortion, except for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, is illegal in Kenya. If we have a supreme court that is looking at other courts throughout the world for guidance, wouldn't this be a problem? )
MLK advocated peaceful change and feared a police state. Obama wants a police state to enforce change that is as well funded as our military.
There are more, but it is too late now. The Dem's got to take responsibility for him whether they vetted him or not. And we gotta live with his time in the White House.
Well, DUH!!!
December 1, 2008 - 09:52 ET by mizflame98The Americans who are comparing him to those remarkable predecessors are putting a lot of faith in a man they barely know.

December 1, 2008 - 09:57 ET by jackie3Deflect any possible blame from himself onto his staff, republicans or greedy corporate America. When minorities decide to open their own small business because they have inspired to better themselves by Obama they will find a ton of regulations, taxes and glass ceilings.
Even as Obama's policies fail the press will blame Bush by falsely connecting the new policy to the past president. The media is simply lowering expectations as it discovered they have created a monster.
But it's really too late to lower expectations now. Once he's in office and the dems are in full swing the mayhem will commence. First attack will be with a "new fairness doc" that will force radio to have lib talkers but exempt CNN.
Then onto the internet. Stories of cyber bullying will become headlines till regulations are passed.
Onto guns; kiss them goodbye. A national handgun permit will put in place. (Now the NRA has been pushing for a nation handgun carry concealed license--but no restrictions on carrying open) The government will seize on a nation based gun permit. This can only be trumped by states with even more regulations like NYS.

December 1, 2008 - 10:06 ET by dscottThe MSM hyped Obama as the panacea to get him elected, they know he will crash and burn and the MSM will at this point has to backpeddle as much as possible to lower expectations. The big question is whether he crashes and burns before the MSM can deflate him.
This is a case of be careful what you asked for, you just might get it. So now Obama has been elected on the premise of the New Deal by FDR (CHANGE), a failure on Obama's part NOT to enact (Change) any of the libs tax and spend programs means a repudiation of their supposed effectiveness. The inertia is on implimenting all the failures of FDR (Change). Any claim that enacting a policy such as carbon cap & trade (on coal), raising taxes or card check would be harmful to a weakened economy would essentially be an admission such a policy was bad in the first place. Libs can't really admit to that possibility, so they are stuck and we all are screwed. But this is a good thing in the long run as much of the country will once again be cured of listening to the bad ideas of Socialists like Carter at the end of the 70s.
Now if the Dems can pull off the Clinton line of "that was then, this is now" as he did on the promised tax cut which then turned out to be a tax increase, they may yet save themselves from their own bad ideas. First to go will be the $500 tax credit, if they can't do this then quite frankly they don't have the political will to save themselves from indulging in their own crapulence. Obama speaks of audacity, but the Clintons actually had it.

I truely wonder what goes on inside Obama's mind
December 1, 2008 - 12:05 ET by OxyCon...when he looks out at the 100,000 or so sycophants who flock to hear one of his empty, callow speeches (especially since he must know his speeches are pathetically empty and callow); or when he hears that a school is named after him (an honor usually bestowed posthumously to someone who had actually done something); or when he is campared to all of the greatest American heroes like Lincoln, FDR and Reagan, again without ever accomplishing anything.
A good man would look at the ridiculousness of these situations and and feel sickened and remorsefull at the fraudulance. But to my eye, it looks like Obama is basking in his diefication and I think this has to do with the way in which both of his parents abandoned him when he was a child. This has to do with abandonment and the lack of self worth that result.

December 1, 2008 - 23:59 ET by JudithBig article but can't remember what blog, on Narcissict Personality Disorder and multiple psychiatrists on the panel agreed this is Odumba's problem along with your keen insight about his abandonment by his parents. Also he has a hang up about being bi-racial (hates the white part). I think that his real father is Franklin Marshall Davis, not Obama Sr. If you can google Davis, you can get a look at his picture and he and Obambi look very much alike. Of course, if someone, anyone, could force a birth certificate to the surface, we would know father or not. He looks nothing like Obama and I don't think he has any Kenyan relatives.

December 2, 2008 - 17:46 ET by nandrelliPersonally, I do NOT wish 0bama well as President. I remember Carter (most people under 45 don't, which partially accounts for 0bama's popularity with young people). Carter's policies were disastrous, and we are STILL butting up against them (the mortgage meltdown and the CRA, for instance). 0bama's playbook is right out of Carter's, so long-term look for disaster if 0bama gets a 2nd term.
My big fear is that, on a short-term basis, 0bama may actually have some success in pulling us out of this financial mess, which will mean another 4 years of him, the Dems, and their socialist/Marxist policies. That would be a killer for the U.S. Better to take a couple of years of tough times and be sure 0bama and his Dem cohorts get bounced out on their kiesters, and we get back to restore some sanity in the country, and in the government (not that there was ever much sanity in the government to begin with).
