Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You

Ah, Irony.

Has anyone seen or heard Barry Obama lately? In recent press conferences and with general journalist questioning, President-Elect Obama's "aura" can be summed up with one word: agitated.

In other words, the same people that mysteriously forgot the meaning of unbiased reporting are now getting under Mr. 44's skin.

And to think, Barry hasn't even set foot in the Oval Office yet.

All presidents and would-be presidents struggle with “the bubble” – the security detail and the always-there reporters that impose barriers to any spontaneous interaction with the outside world.

But Obama seems to be struggling particularly hard, particularly early.

Four years ago Obama was an Illinois state senator who was on his way to the U.S. Senate. Next month, he will become one of only a handful of modern presidents who has not endured a similar bubble as a governor or top U.S. official before taking office.

Obama seems to be tiring of the journalists who have followed him daily since the campaign.

Those close to the Obamas have spoken to the media less and less since the election. Calls and e-mails to close friends and associates of the Obamas were not returned.

“My husband and I have been asked not to speak with the press about the Obamas,” one of them wrote in an e-mail. “They would prefer that we stay out of the papers for now.”

For over 20 months, Barry graced the cover of every magazine in print, had his pictures digitally enhanced to show a "heavenly glow" surrounding 'The One,' cut the rug with Ellen Degeneres, performed a "one-trip-hits-all" photo op around the world, and flashed those pearly whites as much as he possibly could.

Now?

Barry's a little depressed. A little agitated. A little uncomfortable. A little less "out there."

In a world that is becoming increasingly more chaotic, economically gloom, politically unsettled, and morally eroded; we have a president in the wings who has never...ever...made an important decision that has significantly influenced our lives (besides anointing every Democrat...besides Gates and Jones which I applaud...to the Dream Team).

I want you to succeed Barry, I really do...

But come on...

Suck it up 44
