"...There is always a level of excitement when a new president is coming to town
-- new aides to profile, new policies to dissect, new family members to follow.
But can anyone imagine this kind of media frenzy if John McCain had managed to win?
Obama's days of walking on water won't last indefinitely. His chroniclers will need a new story line. And sometime after Jan. 20, they will wade back into reality."
Not only are the journalists and the media glorying in the "Obama Moment," they clearly intend to make money at it, too. The media became enthralled with Obama after ditching Hillary and dumping McCain. I suppose no one is immune to the Messiah complex that has been built up around him.
His honeymoon will soon be over when he assumes the reins of this country. He will have plenty of opportunity to show his stuff....and he's off to a decent start by appointing experienced people to his Cabinet, to counter his woeful lack of experience. We shall see if he can fulfill the massive expectations that the media has helped to create. We'll be praying for him.
