Putz Makes Sure to Let Us Know People Don't Like Obama

Given how the MSM has relentlessly published only positive stories about Barack Obama (no plagiarism, secret Muslim, dressing-up, or army anecdotes here, NO SIREE!), Glenn Reynolds helpfully steps in to make sure his readers are given the 'negatives' regarding Obama's perception, as well.

After all, implies Reynolds, the press only ever highlights his good sides. Thankfully, he's here to show us that a lot of people don't think that highly of Obama.
"Barack Obama's negatives: Higher than you'd think from reading the press coverage."
As has become tradition here at the 'Putz, I once again try to simply ask an honest question of Glenn Reynolds, hoping that maybe he'll answer directly rather than heh-indeed his way out, slip-sliding away: Are you seriously saying that the "press coverage" of Obama hasn't highlighted one, um, kerfuffle after another, with various flacks trying to create an, er, appearance of impropriety? Has week after week not seen yet another faux scandal blown up in a desperate attempt by both Hillary and Republicans to slow his momentum?

We eagerly await your answers, and hope that you will give both our and your readers an explanation that helps reverse your slow slide into unseriousness.

In the meantime, Victor Davis Hanson shows that for a professor, he has a worryingly short memory:
"a number of seemingly random and trivial tesseras about Obama, when taken in the aggregate, are starting at an early date to form a disturbing mosaic [and] all add up to a sort of stock leftist stereotype that the United States is at heart a flawed pathological society"
Has Hanson already forgotten the very scholarly analysis by esteemed conservative scholar Dinesh d'Souza in which it is irrefutably proven that American society has in fact become flawed and pathological?
