On the Chris Mathews show yesterday morning, Mathews was absolutely giddy that Obama might run in &#8217;08 &#8211; a half hour before the Illinois Senator announced his intentions on the Russert&#8217;s Meet the Press love-fest thrown in Obama&#8217;s honor. I thought Katty Kay was going to have to take a cold shower mid-program to get back her British demeanor after talking about the young Senator for five minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Even local news programs are Obama-gazmic over the news. Local female news readers in DC have had to fan themselves on-air to cool off at the mention of Obama&#8217;s name. I guess we can expect two years of this unprofessional behavior leading up to the &#8217;08 elections.<\/p>\n<p>And who is really surprised at Obama&#8217;s decision? Since his speech at the DNC convention in &#8217;04, that&#8217;s all the media can talk about on Sundays when asked to speculate on Democrat candidates in &#8217;08; Mathews in particular. Right after Hillary, Barak Obama&#8217;s name is second on the list.<\/p>\n<p>For the life of me,\u00c2\u00a0I can&#8217;t figure it out. What has Barack Obama done since he&#8217;s been in the Senate? What did he do before he was in the Senate? From the reaction of females,\u00c2\u00a0I guess he&#8217;s good looking. So that&#8217;s reason enough for Democrats? That&#8217;s the same reason they put that last idiot in office &#8211; panting and screaming and promising him oral sex if he&#8217;d only keep abortion legal.<\/p>\n<p>Given the performance of the last\u00c2\u00a0four Democrats in the Oval Office, I think they&#8217;d better come up with something more substantial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everywhere I look\u00c2\u00a0in the last two days, all I can see is the &#8220;news&#8221; that Barack &hellip; <a title=\"Obama-gazims\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=27\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Obama-gazims<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
