Obama will now truly be tested
On her realityexists JHub blog, notes from the left edge, Elena Webb wrote:
"Later, (Fox Commentator Chris) Wallace went on to say that there were more news-worthy stories that viewers might be interested in & maybe it was the media's fault for keeping the spin going: Far be it for me to be a spokesman for the Obama campaign, and I will tell you that they would laugh at that characterization, but you know, the fact is that after giving a speech on race earlier this week, on Tuesday, he gave a major speech on Iraq on Wednesday and a major speech on the economy yesterday. And so, I think they would say that in terms of deflecting attention away from the issues people really want to hear about, maybe it’s the media doing it, not Barack Obama.Well... the end of the world may be near when even Fox commentators are feeling guilty about how out-of-control the media has gotten." It is very true, and very unfortunate that the media is out of control. Money drives it, which is the reason we hear more about Britney Spears than about the war in Iraq, global warming, education, etc. But I also knew that Obama is dealing with the height of the most complex human issues, on the world's biggest stage, with the highest stakes possible. I was wondering when the honeymoon for Barack was going to be over. It appears that time has come. Obama will now truly be tested as a national and world leader, not just as a great speechmaker. 1 comments from 1 users

Glad you read the blog, Michael. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As much as I hate the media feeding frenzy, I do agree with you: This is an opportunity to see how Obama responds under pressure, criticism, and attack. Always good things to know about a potential leader.
