The media is already pitching a tent for Obama, what more can they do?

Media coverage of the President-elect reads more like a Harlequin Romance novel than actual reporting. From the use of a photo of this bare-chested hunk on the cover through breathless accounts of his touch the similarities are astounding. I actually find this a quite nice diversion from the Savior-like treatment of The ONE immediately following the election. There still remains one Christ like comparison: there is no room at the in for the family.

Yes, The ONE is suffering from his own success. Hotel rooms in the nation’s capitol sold out faster than topless photos of Princess Leia at a Star Wars convention in anticipation of the coronation of our Savior in Chief. So booked are they that the Obamas can’t find a room and they’ve asked President Bush to set aside precedent and allow them to move in to Blair House, the presidential guest quarters, ahead of the inauguration. Unfortunately Blair House too is booked until the 15th. In Jabba the Hut like diplomacy, GW offered them room at a nearby military base. Of course, slumming with the troops didn’t seem to cozy for the soon to be First Family. Especially after the fine accommodations they had in Hawaii.

You would think there would be a Democratic supporter or two in the area that might have a spare bedroom or two. If Oprah gets approved for her loan perhaps she’ll be able to host.

The one question I don’t think I’ve heard anyone ask is this, “Didn’t Senator Obama have an apartment in Washington to use while he supposedly worked there?” I doubt the lease is up on that. If not, how about the luxurious Boeing 757. I seem to recall it was outfitted with at least a porta-potty.

UPDATE: I guess I was a day early in writing this one. Here is an update as of today. I guess we can rest easy as there really is room at the inn.
