they always make a big deal of it, though of course there is more media now than there was for previous presidencies. -- nm - Reagen Apr 27, 15:24
Related annoyance: The term "mainstream media" Ugh, you are all mainstream now stoppit! -- nm - Qale Apr 27, 15:23

I don't think anyone has a problem with the *media* making a big deal of it. Why is Obama? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 15:21 10

  - Did Bush do a prime-time address for his 100 days? I'm happy to decry that, too... I'm not choosy. :) -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 27, 15:24 6

    - He probably had fewer addresses in his 8 years than Obama in his first 100 days. - the liioulu with rain and sun and showers and wind Apr 27, 15:27 3
      - Which, IMO, is a problem for Obama: overexposure. I mean really. -- nm - con_carne Apr 27, 15:28 2
        
        as long as it doesn't result in my recordings being afflicted by Andy Rooney's Eyebrows, I'm OK with it ... heh ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:29 1
        
        (sadly, it - and sports - have caused for more Rooneyitis in the last few months than normal) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:29
... and I think Obama's trying to address that media inquisition, perhaps relying on numbers that indicate the public is actually concerned - Beryllium Apr 27, 15:21
