The liberal Media-at-Large has spent the last year or so in spasms of rapturous ecstasy, hyperventilating like Beatles fans in 1964 at every idle utterance of B. H. Obama, our soon-to-be President.
Brainwashing generations of willing Republicans, Democrats, and their liberal/leftist hangers-on--and browbeating the rest of us—they carried him to the White House, by endlessly regaling Americans with tales of his imposing brilliance, his blinding greatness and his totally awesome awesomeness.
I’m glad the election’s finally over, if only to get a break from the ceaseless praise and worship of His Unapproachable Greatness, Lord Barack the First.
Now, however, comes the Media’s “Cover Your Backside” period, in which they’ve begun referring to various, rather innocuous, items concerning him, his schedule and manner of doing things, as “creepy”.
Yes, this Great Man for whom they were endlessly cheerleading a little over a week ago, the Media Elite now somehow perceive as “creepy”; also, now that he’s in, they’ve finally begun admitting that they “really don’t know much about him. Who is Barack Obama, really?”
They would ask this now, questioning the weird Cult of Personality they, themselves, constructed around him. I mean, maybe they should’ve considered that, oh, perhaps a year or so ago? Might’ve been nice to look at that first, way back then, rather than just diving in and breathing deep? Why do they do this now, you may ask?
Well; they threw the whole might of the American Media behind an almost total unknown; all they knew, and required, of him was that he was a handsome, seemingly intelligent, nominally eloquent, liberal Democrat. Oh yes; and he was black; that didn’t hurt, either, I’m sure.
But….if/when he turns out to be a massive, stinkeroo dud, this will enable them to pretend that the yearlong orgy of blatant propaganda didn’t happen; they’ll just say “see, we tried to tell you! He's creepy!”. Also, it gives them the appearance of objectivity, even though everyone knows the Media haven’t been truly objective since…? Well, before I was born, anyway.
Also, His Exalted Greatness seems to have conjured, out of the ether, an altogether-new bureaucratic entity. Called the “Office of the President-Elect”, it did not exist in The American Republic, in any form, until Obama’s Ascension; it wasn’t required by any incoming President-elect in the 200-plus years of the Presidency. And, he was granted his first conference/briefing with the sitting President less than a week after the election, an honor traditionally not accorded, I understand, until a month or more after. Of course, when you’ve elected a Chief Executive whose record is naked as a newborn babe, I’d suppose as quick a jump-start on things as possible is advisable.
So, congratulations to Barack Obama, the Democrats and their liberal comrades (a particular word I do not use lightly); and good luck to the rest of us. I suspect we may need it.

Two things may come out of Obama’s presidency:
1.) Thanks to Political Correctness, one may not be able to seriously criticize the man, without being called a racist; this is a very common occurance, and we see it happen all the time.                                                                      

Or:
2.) The absolute necessity of open criticism of government to a free and democratic republic might, finally, serve to put the first nail in the coffin of Political Correctness.

I would hope for the latter, but fear we’ll get the former.
