Breaking: Bush and Palin are out. Obama is in
How the media and, yes, Democrats "treat" Obama has nothing to do with Bush and Palin.

Get used to it. Obama is a big boy and can take care of himself. If he did not think that he could handle whatever comes his way he would not have run.

So perhaps the media is harsher on him and on Gibbs and on his nominees more than they were on Bush. So what? That Obama is faced with harsher questions that did Bush and Palin, and handle them well is a sing of strength.

Obama is not whining so why are DUers?

He will be the first to say that he does not walk on water. That he makes mistake and will make more in the future. He came out and invited other ideas to compete with his own. He certainly has a more self confidence in himself than many DUers here.

For certain DUers to bristle at any criticism of Obama, to feel that they have to defend him, to defend everything that he has done and said - when he himself admits for making mistakes - well, this is their problems.

Grow up.
