I understand this on one level and am even somewhat sympathetic. I hate the modern media, and this kind of non-stop intrusiveness makes more of the men and women who serve than ought to be made. They are, at the end of the day, just people. Nevertheless, it's now part of the job, and Obama wanted the job, and he got it. I find it disconcerting that a guy who is supposed to be so much more intelligent, wise, able-to-leap-tall-buildings-in-a-single-bound than the current occupant is already starting to show wear and tear in the public limelight, while Bush, for all his faults, after the last 5 years of constant criticism, assault on his character, maligning of his motives, and ridicule of his personal mannerisms and gaffes, manages to be civil, courteous and even optimistic in the face of deep public rejection. Obama is all the rage, and he's already fatigued! I don't remember these kinds of stories about President-Elect Bush, or President-Elect Clinton, or President-Elect anybody before. And I don't think Bush was spared any amount public limelight after his controversial first election, 9/11, etc. - Bob && && Kristyne McDaniel && http://www.mcstyles.com/ && _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
