Obama was in Berlin today...the lovefest continues...

However, since he wasn't there as part of his presidential campaign, but was there as a citizen of the world, there was really no reason for any special media coverage. After all, the only reason why media coverage would be necessary would be if he was actually using this trip as a part of his campaign for president. Yes, of course I'm being sarcastic, the stated purpose was supposedly not campaign related but it's been an Obama media blitz 24/7 the likes none have ever seen before.

I find myself in the scary position of having agreed with Glenn Beck three times now in the past two years. Commentary: Coverage of Obama trip almost embarrassing. Part of what Beck pens:

According to the Tyndall Report, a service that monitors the three network news broadcasts, ABC, NBC, and CBS have spent a total of 114 of their national airtime minutes covering Obama since June. They've spent 48 minutes on his Republican rival, Sen. John McCain.

And then you have the almost embarrassing way the media have gushed over Obama's trip to the Middle East. There were 200 requests for the 40 press seats available on Obama's plane, and all three top network anchors (Katie Couric, Charles Gibson and Brian Williams) made the trip and are broadcasting live from each country Obama visits.

You can't buy that kind of publicity. And neither could McCain.

McCain made a trip to the Middle East in March and didn't have to worry about finding seats for any network anchors, because none of them wanted to go. And while Obama was flying from country to country this week in a plane packed with celebrity reporters, McCain flew to an event in New Hampshire. After his Boeing 737 landed in Manchester, he stepped out onto the tarmac and glanced at the one reporter who'd bothered to show up. Yes, one.

Obama may very well win, but what I can't help wondering is what will happen if he does? How long will it be before the media turns on him? Will it last through the campaign? Will this coverage that's become very blatant in it's lack of bias create the exact opposite affect as people start to wonder? Will people be Obama'd out by November?

I watch friends that believe, to the point where it's almost some type of a religious experience. They truly deeply want to believe that Obama means what he says, his message of hope is something that they can't even state what he would actually do when he's elected. They aren't interested in facts or reality, anything that he's done that's questionable is justified, if he changes a position? They hold that position now too and can argue that either what he said before was taken out of context or what he said before wasn't definite.

I truly do fear what will happen when Obama can't deliver the hope and the change that they have convinced themselves he will bring about...No President can...
