On...Infatuation

Gettin' Away with the Goods

Robert Samuelson has written a great number of fine articles and I have posted a bunch in the past, but his latest needs to be blessed with a greater audience. The Obama Infatuation is a very non-partisan examination of the dangerous (or perhaps dangerous) love-fest the media has on our current president. The Crush they carried throughout the election (See SNL's awesome early take on it) has carried well past the honeymoon. As Samuelson suggests, we need a skeptical media. We need tough questions asked on our behalf. No government regardless of party can just skip around and do what it wills with no questions asked. That's a dictatorship or worse yet a banana republic.

I'm afraid that no good will come of this. For either the nation or Obama. He needs to avoid flying too high. The last step can be a doozy. We can't be blind. Honest people and courageous people need to debate his agenda and his view of the future. And we need it now.
