A Short Honeymoon?

Anyone watching with an open mind would have to admit that Barack Obama's first two weeks have been full of contradictions, misstatements, errant selections for nominees and basically non-professional behavior by the White House. Hell, Obama admitted he "screwed up" on Daschle and that was one of his lesser mistakes.

The compliant media may be taking note to as the circus of the last fortnight even permeated their Obama-adoring brains.

The San Francisco Examiner;

The irritating Maureen Dowd almost goes there;

The ultra-liberal Guardian even has a piece that is not rah rah;

Even his hometown is being critical.

Now this doesn't mean they won't have their heads firmly planted in his ass next week and going forward. They are the media and they are liberal by definition, but it does says something that Obama's "hiccups" have been so glaring that the MSM is reporting them.

He may well have lost a major political ally after these revelations and if he loses House leadership and the MSM, he's going to get a really rude awakening once the public starts to sour on him.
