Ever since Obama stared running for office it’s been Obama mania out there. After Obama was finally elected the mania went into overdrive just about every news show has had puff pieces on almost daily. It’s just plain annoying!
Now don’t get me wrong, I do like Obama I really think he has admirable goals, whether or not he will be able to achieve them is another story. However foolish I think it is for Americans to think that one man can solve all our problems like some sort of super hero, I still like the message Obama brings to the table. Although I’m not too sure about the whole change media blitz. Change for the sake of change is pointless it has to be change for the better. I do really think Obama has our best interests at heart and is going to give it his best again whether or not it will work remains to be seen.
We have here our first rock star president. He has an awesome stage presence and gives great speeches but I hope there is substance here not just media polish. He is probably one the most active and full of life looking presidents we’ve had in a long time. Being 24 the only presidents I really remember are Bush senior, Clinton, and Bush junior so I guess that isn’t much experience. 
No matter how much I like Obama, I cannot help but be annoyed at the media fascination with him. I understand the first black president is a very big deal; perhaps because I’m not black I don’t understand the full significance of that but I know it’s a big deal.
I wholeheartedly believe the media fascination with Obama from the get-go helped him win from the beginning it’s been one puff piece after another. What if McCain or even Hillary had received the same amount of attention? I guess we will never know.
It would be nice if just for a wee bit the media would stop yammering about this guy. I’m hoping within the next month the frequency of Obama propaganda will trickle down to the normal frequency of presidental news.
