WaPo: someone write one negative story about Obama PLEASE

  So the Washington Post feels a little guilty about how they favor Obama, slobbering over him every chance they get.
  The liberal media has been in a quandary; we are closing in on another election and what do we do?
  Obama's record is so pathetic there's nothing to tout; the only path to his success is to tear down any opponent, aggrandize Obama's record and pretend that their friends represent the majority of the voters.
  Meanwhile they hurl invectives at Republican audiences for being blood lusty for being angry with the MSM.  
  The ombudsman at the WaPo referring to Obama:
I think there was way too little coverage of his record in the Illinois Senate and U.S. Senate, for example, with one or two notably good exceptions. But there were hard-hitting stories too, even a very tough one on Michelle Obama’s job at the University of Chicago Medical Center. 
And that’s what The Post needs to do in covering his reelection campaign this year: be hard-hitting on his record and provide fresh insight and plenty of context to put the past three rough years into perspective. 
   So in pursuit of inoculation and readers, who springs to the forefront? 
  Why, Maureen Dowd, of course! She's a good party liner, if nothing else.
  Dowd mentions that Obama thinks the reason the press corps doesn't like him is because he doesn't attend (or apparently throw) enough parties. In fact, Obama himself says:
My suspicion is that this whole critique has to do with the fact that I don’t go to a lot of Washington parties. And as a consequence, the Washington press corps maybe just doesn’t feel like I’m in the mix enough with them, and they figure, well, if I’m not spending time with them, I must be cold and aloof. 
  Yeah. Not enough parties. That's his problem.
  Dowd goes on to complain that the Obamas are too isolated and, maybe, well, too stuck up.
As Michelle said to Oprah in an interview she did with the president last May: “I always told the voters, the question isn’t whether Barack Obama is ready to be president. The question is whether we’re ready. And that continues to be the question we have to ask ourselves.” 
They still believed, as their friend Valerie Jarrett once said, that Obama was “just too talented to do what ordinary people do.” 
  But Dowd can't help herself. 
  Though she acknowledges the Obamas feel like victims, she can't resist taking a shot at Newt, who she claims is playing the perpetual victim by slamming the press:
The Obamas truly feel like victims. But Newt Gingrich, who campaigns by attacking the culture of victimization, plays one on stage. He soared at the Charleston CNN debate by brazenly proclaiming himself the victim of “the elite media protecting Barack Obama” (the same Obama who told Time he was victimized by the press). Newt’s gambit was a calculated way of deflecting attention from a charge by his second wife, Marianne, that the family values he preaches are hypocritical platitudes, given his cheating ways with two wives he divorced when they were ill. 
  The news isn't that the Obamas feel like victims.  
  What we have to look forward to is a smattering of stories about Obama's faults and a whole buttload of stories about how bad whoever the Republican nominee is.
  Like a single "tough" story about Michelle Obama breaking the law. Then let it go. 
  How about this, MoDo.
  How about you actually report on Barack Obama like he's a real politician. How about you actually report on his narcissism, his roots in Marxism, his lack of records.
  How about we start with this report, from the Daily Mail that Barack Obama never felt like people appreciated him? That everyone was inferior to him? Maybe that isn't news.
Though she had thrown herself into the campaign, she had been sceptical from the outset about the very notion of her husband running for president.Barack Obama had been constantly dissatisfied with where he was in life. When he was elected to the state senate in Illinois, he immediately began complaining that the body was not serious and referred to his colleagues as idiots. 
As soon as he entered the U.S. Senate, he felt frustrated.At his first hearing on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he sat listening to a long-winded address by Senator Joe Biden — later to become his vice-president — and passed a note to an aide that said: ‘Shoot. Me. Now.
  That's right. Everybody's an idiot but you, Barack Obama.
