Obama Biting The Hand that Made Him?

NBC News’ Andrea Mitchell is annoyed at Brack Obama. Although she not normally known for being anti-anything liberal, this time she is fired up.

Regarding St. Obama’s trip to the Middle East, she said on MSNBC’s HARDBALL:

He didn’t have reporters with him, he didn’t have a press pool, he didn’t do a press conference while he was on the ground in either Afghanistan or Iraq. What you’re seeing is not reporters brought in. You’re seeing selected pictures taken by the military, questions by the military, and what some would call fake interviews, because they’re not interviews from a journalist. So, there’s a real press issue here. Politically it’s smart as can be. But we’ve not seen a presidential candidate do this, in my recollection, ever before.

Is she mad because of journalistic ethics, or is she mad like Dr. Frankenstein would be if his monster blew him off as well?

So, was McCain the original media Frankenstein?

“But we’ve not seen a presidential candidate do this, in my recollection, ever before.”

Gotta hand it to Obama here. He promised to get rid of politics as usual. At least he is consistent in one area.
