I've noticed something about the Barack Obama campaign and the press
The traditional media have very little to write on Obama. I mean, very little substantively to rough up Barack. So in their attempts to appear "neutral", they resort to blowing up inconsequential stuff to try to look like they are doing their job.

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."
-- Mahatma Gandhi

1. The press spends most of their time
concocting scenarios for Clinton to win and Obama to lose, despite the astronomical odds.

2. No one has anything substantial on Obama, and that most decidedly
includes the Clintons, so they are all resorting to 'molehill' politics:

3. This is some parallel universe you're living in right?
Or in Egypt, near Da Nile?

4. All the corporate presstitutes care about is keeping the Dem primary going.
They're making millions off of it.
