Invading Iraq was purely a Bush/Cheney vanity and the news media bought it. The media now has to be careful that its overt adoration of Obama isn’t also a vanity.
I personally think Obama is an incredibly gifted speaker and charismatic leader. He holds many of the same world views as me. But I (and many in the NY media) felt the same way about Eliot Spitzer. The result was a lack of skepticism, a landslide victory and, well you know the rest. You may see signs in my cartoons that I approve of thoughtful engagement and dialogue over mindless xenophobic chest thumping, but I will always remain healthily skeptical of anyone who is seeking power, no matter how much I agree or sympathize with them. After Obama’s well crafted race speech, one of my cartooning colleagues asked the other day how the “I have a dream” speech would have been received by a skeptical media. But it isn’t the same. The Rev. Martin Luther King wasn’t running for President.
