Obama's experienced an unprecedented honeymoon with the press, and many of them still refuse to ask the hard questions or do any actual investigative journalism. What will Obama's response be when they actually do come to their senses and become journalists again? If this is any indication, we're going to see Mr. Cool struggle a little bit when he learns that there are people who don't worship his every move.

Shortly thereafter, Obama decided to pick a fight with Rush Limbaugh. I don't necessarily agree with Rush most of the time, but I still can't figure out why Obama would want to ignite a culture war so early in his presidency. Rush has always been one of those guys who speaks openly and is going to be controversial no matter what. He's got a segment of listeners who hang on every word, but most people just ignore him and laugh it off. But by Obama stepping up against him, he is emboldening Rush's supporters and giving Rush added mainstream credibility. Doesn't seem like the smartest move to me...
