Hey, politics is a tough business. Almost as tough as being President.

EVERYONE is out to get Obama. EVERYBODY who Obama has surrounded himself with in Chicago believes that Blacks are victims. It's only natural that he believe he is one. His wife makes no bones about believing it.

Actually, until very recently Obama has been the media darling and treated politically with kit-gloves. It's only been very recently he's been asked more difficult questions. He avoids press conferences big time. The process involves testing candidates under stress. I don't think Obama has been really tested yet. Hillary? Maybe. McCain? Certainly with his experience in a prison camp. But Obama? The only real difficult test he's had was his time in college 20 some years ago. He seems to have done very well in that left wing ideological institution Harvard. But what about the real world, where you might actually encounter people who disagree with you? He certainly hasn't done anything exceptional in the Senate.
