At least he gave them a reason to as far as the way he conducted himself - with grace and dignity. Do either of those terms ever spring to mind when thinking of the game show host that is in there now? :D


Personally, I thought giving him the Nobel Peace Price was....bizarre. But that wasn't the media.


Much of the "liberal media" spilled too much ink on/gave far too much screen time to Ayers/Alinsky/Wright and the birtherism stuff, IMHO. I realize it's the job of the free press to be in opposition to those in power, but giving that stuff a pass on the MSM was ridiculous when there were far more serious an adult critiques to be had. Let the crazies like Alex Jones and Breitbart swim in that swamp.


As usual, the best commentary came from the truly progressive voices, which often pointed out the many, many ways in which Obama was right-leaning in actual policy, and they were typically scathing in their criticism of him.


As you might expect, I don't really consume much MSM.
