Obama, Blago flip sides of Bizarro plotline :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Carol Marin: "As ferociously as we march like villagers with torches against Blagojevich, we have been, in the true spirit of the Bizarro universe, the polar opposite with the president-elect. Deferential, eager to please, prepared to keep a careful distance.
The Obama news conferences tell that story, making one yearn for the return of the always-irritating Sam Donaldson to awaken the slumbering press to the notion that decorum isn't all it's cracked up to be.
The press corps, most of us, don't even bother raising our hands any more to ask questions because Obama always has before him a list of correspondents who've been advised they will be called upon that day."

It has been obvious for a long time that the press corps loves Obama. Now he has succeeded in turning them into little lap dogs, according to Carol Marin, who is no critic of Obama herself.
