I was especially impressed with the way he remained "above the fray" when one cabinet appointment after another proved to be a dog. Somehow it wasn't Obama's mistake; somehow it became the fault of the person he had appointed. The new president had the gift of making himself invisible at will; though it should be said that he depends on supine mass media to accomplish this trick.

Why would anybody be impressed by this when he himself admits that the success of the ploy is due to a "supine mass media"?

I am not impressed with the author.

Obama would be reduced to a quivering heap in a heartbeat if the media decided to turn on him with even a tenth of the furor it unleashed on Sarah Palin.
