   Obama will visit today since he’s on the way to the shuttle launch anyway.
   How nice of him.

   I think this just may be the most disturbing thread yet at Poli-nation. Starting with the absurd debt that adorable baby is facing, then on to the San Francisco Chronicle (of all papers!) complaining about the lying White House Press office, the Cashill account of the lies in Obama’s childhood narrative, La Raza going nuts, union supporters ripping into packages of Angel Soft toilet tissue in NY, Obama begging people for $5, Kudlow’s account of the different approaches (along with vastly different results) of recessions in the 80’s vs. the latest, the Fed’s cavalier attitude to the suffering of the average working person, and on and on to just about do me in. I guess the only bright spot in this whole account is the response to Paul Ryan. I am not going to be able to wait until May 1 to purchase some Coors, I can tell you that. I need to know all of this, though, and I thank you both.

     One of the comments under the SF Chronicle article said how typical this (sneering at Obama) was considering all the times “they” (the Chronicle) had had their “noses up Bush’s butt.”

     I think I heard the Twilight Zone theme song playing! SFGate (the Chronicle online) is on my list with HuffPo and DailyKos as places to link to only in desperation cuz the story or photo isn’t anywhere else. I still get that bile in the throat thing whenever I think about this piece of :: brrrr:: that appeared in SFGate in 2008:

       That is just rich – who would have thought that the “not one of us” statement would take on such a different meaning 2 years later?

     Well, yes, that is most uplifting. At least they weren’t vandalizing the Angel Soft. Do you believe the “It was just one overzealous union member” bit? I want to believe!

   Oh I am loving the snark in the Chronicle article! I’ve always, always, always believed that Obama was going to bring on his own downfall by pissing off the media.

   “Mr. Obama was at Facebook seated next to its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and may as well have been wearing an “I’m With Mark” t-shirt for all the mutual admiration going back and forth.”

   Hee hee!

   The media has often been depicted as dog-like, with cartoons of lap-dogs and attack dogs. And I think Obama believed them to have that mind-set. He has certainly always acted like their drooling adoration was his just due, as if he were their proper master.

   But nobody owns or is master of the fourth estate, any more than anyone truly owns or is master of a cat. A pet cat will purr for you when it suits him, but don’t try kicking him or you’ll be sorry.
