"I am Obama. I am The One!"
Obama reacts to inconvenient, non-submissive media...
Obama is not pleased... Barack Obama will not tolerate those who don't agree with him, who don't submit to him.
Story here.
The Washington Times, N.Y. Post and Dallas Morning News -- three newspapers that recently endorsed John McCain -- have been kicked off Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's plane in the final days of his campaign.
The Obama campaign informed The Washington Times Thursday evening of its decision, which came two days after The Times editorial page endorsed Senator John McCain over Mr. Obama. The Times editorial page runs independently of the news department. "This feels like the journalistic equivalent of redistributing the wealth. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars covering Senator Obama's campaign, traveling on his plane, and taking our turn in the reporters' pool, only to have our seat given away to someone else in the last days of the campaign," said Washington Times Executive Editor John Solomon.
Also, Mary T. in the comments reacts:
O has banned any journalist from his plane whose paper endorsed McCain. He has threatend many TV stations if they run negative stories about him. If he is getting away with this as a candidate, what will he do as POTUS.
Could it be the end of the so called free press in the USA. A lot of those in the tank for O might get shock when they discover they have been used and are about to be abused or censored big time.
Plus...
Obama gets unhinged, loses his temper, becomes suddenly intolerant towards so-called "paparazzi" media following him. Hey, but isn't this the guy who wants attention in the first place?
Interesting... all of a sudden. Perhaps he has limited patience?
Obama, usually cool in public during a campaign that has turned him into the frontrunner for the White House, did not disguise his irritation when his surprise walk caused news photographers and camera crews to scramble for position on the sidewalk.
What would Obama do if he becomes President? With the election campaign over, will his behavior change?
How far will he go to silence his critics and others he considers "inconvenient"?
