Recently there has been more criticism in the media of Obama but it clearly doesn't rise to the level of how Bush had been treated.
Powerline has a summary of recent press criticisms of Obama. The left-liberal establishment is in crisis at the moment. They can’t make up their mind between desperately trying to prop up Obama, and giving up on him and increasing their distance.
Kyle Smith at the New York Post discusses why comedians and Saturday Night Live have trouble making fun of Obama like they do other politicians, especially when he has said some things that could be used in a skit. Downey comments in “Live from New York,” “I have to say, and even [Al] Franken agrees with me — I’ve talked to him about this — that the last couple seasons of the show were the only two in the show’s history where we were totally like every other comedy show: basically, an arm of the Hollywood Democratic establishment. . . . We just stopped doing anything which could even be misinterpreted as a criticism of Obama.”
Leftist Cornel West always speaks his mind and has changed his view of Obama. I wonder if I will hear this on the nightly news. And we ended up with a brown-faced Clinton. Another opportunist. Another neoliberal opportunist.
Meet the Press goes after Senator Rand Paul (R, KY) implying that he was trying to gain publicity for his charitable medical work in Guatemala while not criticizing Obama for golfing or expensive vacations.
