Want further proof that his race won it for him???
NOT one word from the MSM that he was "BLACK"....WHY? Because they would be considered "racist"!
With the Democratic Party defeated, ObamaCare set for repeal, and incoming President Donald Trump poised to revoke a host of his executive orders, Obama’s actual legacy will likely fall far short of what his media fan club once imagined. But one aspect of his place in history seems secure:
Barack Obama has been the lucky recipient of more biased, positive “news” media coverage than any other President in history.
When Obama ran for President four years later, news reporters led the cheers. “
It’s almost hard to remain objective because it’s infectious, the energy, I think,” then-NBC reporter Lee Cowan confessed in an MSNBC.com video posted January 7, 2008. On CNN a few days later,
Politico editor John Harris admitted: “A couple years ago, you would send a reporter out with Obama, and it was like they needed to go through detox when they came back — ‘
Oh, he’s so impressive, he’s so charismatic,’ and we’re kind of like, ‘Down, boy.’”
As a candidate, the Associated Press celebrated Obama as “
something special,” while as President-elect, the
Washington Post drooled over his “
chiseled pectorals,” on display during a vacation in Hawaii. As President, reporters touted his “
prodigious talents,” his “
amazing legislative agenda,” and his “
huge achievements.” And as an individual, journalists fawned over Obama, calling him “
one of our brightest presidents,” a “
huge visionary,” “
the perfect American,” “
our national poet,” and “
the most noble man who has ever lived in the White House.”
“I like to say that, in some ways, Barack Obama is the first President since George Washington to be taking a step down into the Oval Office. I mean, from visionary leader of a giant movement, now he’s got an executive position that he has to perform in, in a way.”
— ABC News correspondent Terry Moran to Media Bistro’s Steve Krakauer in a February 20, 2009 “Morning Media Menu” podcast.
“When you watch the President like that, I always feel he’s got so many pluses, doesn’t he? In a sense, he’s personable, he’s handsome, he can be funny. You know, abroad he has this great image for America. A lot of things are just perfect about Barack Obama.”
— Host Piers Morgan to Obama strategist David Axelrod on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight, December 5, 2011.
