With Obama's "special" friendship with Chris Matthews and Reggie Love I guess Michelle watches all this. Maybe this is why Obama is an alcoholic he cant get others to touch his" tra la la" his "ding ding dong"!
MEDIA MATTERS

Editor's note: This is another in a series of "WND/WENZEL POLLS" conducted exclusively for WND by the public-opinion research and media consulting company Wenzel Strategies.
Chris Mathews said he got a "tingle" up his leg watching Barack Obama. Other interviewers routinely hand him softball questions to lob to his constituency and the results are not lost on the American public.
A new poll now reveals that by a nearly 2-1 margin Americans believe that the national news media favor the Democratic Party over the GOP. The bias is clear even to Democrats themselves, because one in five who self-identified with the party admit they are the media's favorite.
The results come from new scientific telephone survey of nearly l,100 respondents conducted Aug. 20-22 with a margin of error of plus or minus 2.93 percentage points. It was done by Wenzel Strategies.
The poll shows that responding to the question, "If you had to say, which major party do you think the national news media favor in their political coverage?" 46.4 percent identified the Democrats while 23.4 identified the GOP. Another 30.3 percent said neither party.

"It is not surprising that twice as many respondents believe the news media favors the Democratic Party over the Republican Party in their coverage," said Fritz Wenzel, chief of Wenzel Strategies.
"Among respondents, 46 percent said the Democrats get favored coverage, while 23 percent said the same about Republicans. Another 30 percent said they didn't think either party was favored in news coverage," he said.
"While 74 percent of Republicans said they think Democrats are given favored coverage in the news, it appears Democrats recognize their favored status – just 44 percent said they think Republicans get an edge in news coverage, while the balance said either that Dems get an advantage, or that coverage is fairly balanced," he said.
If the clearest perception of favoritism comes from those on the outside – the independents – then Democrats by a 43-16 percent margin get the best treatment from the news media.
Seventy three percent of the GOP said the Democrats got the best treatment and only 44 percent of the Democrats attributed that to the GOP.
The self-professed "very liberal" said the media treated both parties almost equally, while the "liberal" said the Republican Party was favored 45-22. "Moderates" said the Democrats were favored 38-21 and "conservatives" said the Dems had the advantage 56-19. "Very conservative" respondents said the Dems had a 72-12 advantage.
Among racial groups, only "Asian/other" said the GOP had the advantage, but there was no region in the nation where respondents largely believed that.
Nor was there any income level at which respondents mostly believed the Democrats were not getting favored treatment.
