Office Of The Primadonna Elect
It’s a testament to the media’s continuing love affair with Barack Obama that in all of Googledom, this is the one photo, the only photo, that shows Obama’s spiffy new Office of the President Elect logo. (It comes from a Fox story, natch.)
The rest of the media continue to write about how brilliant and well-oiled the Obama campaign was, largely overlooking the numerous flat and troublingly egotistical missteps it took: The “presidential” seal, the “President” embroidered onto his airplane seat, the quest to be JFKesque in Berlin, the massive flag over-kill following criticism that he wouldn’t wear an eensy-teensy flag lapel pin.
While Obama learned and adjusted throughout the campaign – you didn’t see a second Che poster in any campaign office, did you? – his egomaniacle compulsion to brand himself continues. No other president in the history of America has felt compelled to create an Office of the President Elect until now.
Is this just more change we can believe in, evidence that Obama is looking at the presidency in a new way, or is it just another negative character clue that makes us very nervous? While I appreciate the former, I find myself spending more time considering it as the latter.

I dunno. It seems to me that if the horserace aspect of story is where will find <a href=”http://www.fairandunbalanced.com/?http://www.testimoanials.com/blog/blog1.php/2008/11/28/pro-obama-pro-american-press/“>the evidence of media bias</a> we have to find more than anecdotal evidence that it was not simple reporting of truth. Was the election result caused by reporting on who was ahead?

Or was the candidate ahead because of what the media was reporting?

“Another negative character clue”? That’s priceless.
And speaking of the Office fo the Vice-President Elect, where’s Joe Biden been?
