A Ler: 'Journalists' Love for Obama Still Going Strong'

It’s been a year since the American public first said “I do” to Barack Obama and it’s still a honeymoon period for the mainstream press. The first year of marriage might have been a bit rocky, but journalists still have that crush on Obama.

The first time they ever really saw him speak, their hearts leapt. It was love at first sight. The media already had a betrothed who had promised them “Hillarycare” and taught them “It Takes a Village.” That all changed when Obama gave the keynote address to the Democratic National Convention in 2004. At ABC, Charles Gibson predicted: “Last night, a political star may have been born.”

By the end of a year, the relationship became one sided. The White House, like a nagging shrew, began picking at the flaws it saw in the press. The Associated Press and others were lambasted for criticizing Obama as talk of an "enemies list" filled the news.

Now comes their first anniversary. Somewhere along the way the bride who had the hope chest filled with "change" became the bride of Frankenstein. The media still love him and sing his praises. They just don’t recite “Barack Hussein Obama” like some New Jersey school kids. This anniversary, the “Wedding Song” has been replaced by Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me.”
