Will The One Still Get As Much Support?

So The One made a rather mild but snide comment about a former president's wife, who was hospitalized last month with a fractured pelvis.

One class act.

And factually wrong, as it was not Nancy who did the seances, it was Hillary Clinton. Nancy did Astrologists, which perhaps isn't any better intellectually but certainly less creepy and morbid.

A good laugh from the press and no more.

Ah, but right wing bloggers caught it and reported it. It also wound up on YouTube pretty quick. Well, next thing you know MSLSD, CNN and so on are reporting that The One called Nancy and apologized.

So again, The One would have gotten away with the kind of remark that a Republican would have been slammed on. Also, note that by leading with the apology story, they show what a great guy he is, apologizing for a remark that a nasty ol' Republican would probably never have apologized for.

Now, this sort of thing is not new nor news, and really isn't important by itself. But it made me think about whether or not The One will continue to be worshiped by the MSM (Main Stream Media) or if they will turn on him soon, as predatory creatures often do.

Now that they have succeeded in helping The One win the presidency, will they expect him to actually fulfill his promises? Or did they believe all along that he was just lying in order to get elected? I don't know, I can't even guess.

Now that the Dems are in complete control, there's very little that the MSM can attack Republicans on except what was done in the past. I think they'll get a lot of mileage out of that, years in fact. But I had never considered them turning on The One within the first year of his presidency, which I guess may be possible if my second scenario pans out.

I doubt it, but boy would it be fun!
