Obama: MSM is attacking me

After being followed across the world by His disciples the MSM, The One of Supremely Thin Skin decided to lash out at His followers reporters today for having the temerity to question Him on His “pig” analogy.  From Politico:

Speaking at a high school in Norfolk, Obama took a few moments to address what he calls “the made-up controversy” of the day, Amie Parnes reports.

Obama said the McCain campaign moved to “seize an innocent remark and take it out of context because they knew it’s catnip for the news media.”

“See, it would be funny, but the news media decided that would be the lead story yesterday.  (I guess they ran out of more newsworthy stories, like Gov. Palin’s pregnant teenager or her Down’s syndrome child, huh? – Ed.)  This happens every election cycle. Every four years, this is what we do. This is what they want to spend two of the last 55 days talking about…Enough!” he said.

Obama called the attacks “lies, outrage and swift boat politics.”

“These are serious times and they call for a serious debate…spare me all the phony outrage. Spare me all the phony talk about change,” he said.

“Spare me all the phony talk about change”?  For a year or more, I’ve been begging you to do just that, pal.

Exit prediction: The MSM, exhibiting signs of “battered spouse syndrome”, will take this beating from the Obamessiah yet immediately circle the wagons around him, defending his abusive behavior.

Exit question: Is this sign of touchiness really the indicator that The One wants the nation to see that he is tough enough to combat terrorism?  What a pansy!
