These personal attacks against Obama by the New York Times have to stop. Yesterday, they attacked him for his campaign association with the Ethanol industry. Today, they say he is snubbing Muslims. It's very unfair.

The Incredible Reversible Obama Man

June 24, 2008, humanevents.com

Senator Obama is Superman. He is the hero of the age. A post-modern poster boy, Obama is post-everything: post-racial, post-partisan, post-pastors, and post-primaries. He is black and white, and he is Muslim and Christian. He is Liberal and Conservative, American and African. He is man and he is woman.

Senator Obama is not merely Superman, though. He is supernormal, as well as paranormal and even extra normal. The halo and chest-"S" imagery embraced by the campaign and their familiars in the media illustrate this in post-religious pop splendor. He is the evolved man. Also Sprach Obama. So say we all.

Such is the myth of the man as it stands today. The primary trials have ended, the ascension has begun.

The veneer of post-perfection is, however, imperfect, and beneath the cape and halo the other Senator Obama is glimpsed. Of late the glimpses have been more frequent and apparent, as the surety of destined enthronement has reduced the trepidation of his inner Hulk. His sainthood is not yet complete, and when still this side of paradise, the enraptured can yet return to rationality through rage.

Obama is afraid to be associated with Islam too closely, but he wants to have it both ways.
