Mini Super Tuesday, or whatever its called, came up snake eyes for Barack Obama. Not only did Hillary Clinton win decisively in Ohio and Rhode Island, and at this writing, remains slightly ahead in Texas--but Obama's charmed life with the press went south.
Most probably a Saturday Night Live skit last week showing the press bowing and scraping before Obama, catering to his every whim and fawning over him like the second coming of Jesus, snapped them to attention. Grossly embarassed, as they should have been a long time ago, beat reporters went after Barack at a press conference today like dogs after raw meat.
After tough questions about his slimy partner and fundraiser Tony Resko, who is on trial for fraud as we speak in Chicago, his Communist-party-affiliated advisor, his endorsement by Louis Farakhan and his lies about NAFTA and Canadian trade, an angry Obama abruptly ended the press conference and stalked off. When combined with a day of very mixed primary results, at best, the bloom may be off the Obama rose.
The press is even finally calling to account his sharp-tongued wife Michelle, who has said enough outrageoous things on the campaign trail that if she hadn't been Mrs. Barack Obama, she'd have been crucified. A child of privilege with the finest Ivy League education, cushy high level jobs with big salaries and few duties--Michelle shows an alarming lack of gratitude or touch for the daily trials of the common man.
Conservatives can cheer for the results of Mini Super Tuesday, which pretty well guarantee a bare-knuckled brawl for the Democratic presidential nomination clear through to the Denver convention in August. John McCain should be smiling.
