Here's the definition of overdoing the Obama hype. On Wednesday, CBS's Early Show treated the story of Barack Obama and Joe Biden being driven over to Arlington for a hamburger as two all-beef patties and special sauce of history. Co-host Maggie Rodriguez actually said: "Coming up next, call it the ultimate power lunch. An unprecedented presidential burger run when we return."
"Unprecedented presidential burger run?" First of all, did CBS do a quarter-pound of research on presidential burger runs before making that claim? Secondly, if a burger run is the stuff of history, what trivial events in Obama's day won't they exaggerate?
Later in the first half hour, Rodriguez and co-host Harry Smith actually sat down to eat versions of the Obama-Biden vittles from Ray's Hell Burger sent to them from Arlington so they could ooze over the story some more.newsbusters.org
