Next on OBAMA WATCH!

With the election over and Obama having won by a sizable margin (thanks to an economic downturn, a lackluster Republican ticket and one of the worst presidents every) I was hoping things would simmer down for a bit. I could get some shut eye, hell, maybe even drink some Black Velvet for the fun of it – not because I was trying to forget about the current political climate. Turns out, I was wrong (from Reuters reporter Deborah Charles):

Despite getting little sleep after returning home at nearly 2 a.m. after a historical and emotional night in Chicago’s Grant Park, the well-disciplined Obama opted to head to the gym around mid-morning.

But Obama first spent a little quality time at home, enjoying something he said he missed most while out on the campaign trail: breakfast with his wife, Michelle, and daughters Malia and Sasha.

Wearing a dark baseball cap and sunglasses, Obama then sped away in his motorcade for a few blocks to the gym near his house where the first-term senator from Illinois often retreated for exercise and time away from the media during the 21-month presidential campaign.

The new president-elect, who played his traditional election-day game of basketball on Tuesday with some friends and staff members before the polls closed, stayed inside the gym for about an hour.

 

…apparently president-elect Obama went to the gym. I am glad CNN and Reuters (amongst other media outlets) dedicated space for this story. How else would I have known what Obama was up to? I mean, now that I’m not checking HuffPo, Politico or Slate everyday to monitor the campaign to make sure my Messiah is in the lead I have all this spare time on my hands.

Ugh.

The worst part is that I should have seen this coming. Alas, I did not. Maybe I was too young when Dubya was elected and this happens to all incoming presidents. What I would imagine more likely, however, is that Obama’s celebrity is beyond what even I could have imagined. The media darling, the college student’s wet dream, Barack Obama has achieved literal Britney Spears level celebrity – and it’s sick.

It’s like I fell asleep and woke up in a dream world where everyone follows a supreme commander who promises a better nation. When the MSM (who you can never trust anyways) reports on dribble about Obama having to “give up his blackberry“, you have to wonder who is really looking out for us.

The answer to that?

No one. Or at least, definitely not our national media. Even our local media seems obsessed with Obamamania. For days the top news at Fox, CNN (and I would imagine that quagmire of poor journalism that is MSNBC) and all of the major media outlets have had the top stories on their Web sites be about Obama: who is he going to pick for staff, will he make it to the gym today, how many times did he relieve his bowels?

I must have missed something, but apparently when we are in a financial crisis, in two wars and have German spies being arrested for throwing a bomb into an EU headquarters in Pristania, how many times Obama takes a dump during a day is the relevant topic.

Who knows what’ll happen next on, OBAMA WATCH!
