AP writer Jennifer Loven’s drool cup overfloweth
Jennifer Loven of the Associated Press isn’t just in the tank for Obama.
She’s drowning in her drool cup.
See if you can get through this slavering piece about The One’s 18-hour workdays without retching:
A snapshot of one day on the trail with the 47-year-old Illinois senator, taken exactly two weeks out from Election Day and nearly 21 months after he began his campaign, reveals what a grind it is to seek the presidency. It also displays the ways that this campaign by the first black man with a clear shot at the White House is no ordinary one.
The day was 18 hours of nearly hyperkinetic activity, of meals jammed in between appearances, relaxation coming only in the form of hushed conversations with foreign policy gurus or campaign staff while ESPN played in the background.
Up before dawn, Obama dashed across south Florida and finished the day in a bed in a Virginia hotel after midnight.
In between, he led a 95-minute discussion of the economy with several governors and a former Federal Reserve chairman while 1,700 people looked on; spoke to 30,000 at an outdoor rally; grinned for untold numbers of photos with cops, caterers, drivers, campaign volunteers and others; shook hundreds â if not thousands â of hands; and gave 13 interviews. He alighted in nine locations across seven cities and two states, not even idle during transport: burning up the miles on the phone, in staff meetings and schmoozing with politicians on his bus.
Loven can barely restrain herself from panting over Obama in his gym clothes as other groupies have done (flashback: “He didn’t even sweat!”):
Bypassing his luxury hotel’s gym, Obama was driven more than six miles, in a motorcade of seven vehicles accompanied by at least two dozen motorcycles, to a strip mall’s Planet Fitness. Wearing his workout uniform of gray T-shirt and black sweat pants, he spent 25 minutes walking a treadmill and lifting weights.
As with everything he does, his workout attracted a crowd. People gawked at him through the gym’s plate-glass windows while fellow exercisers asked for his autograph. Planet Fitness employee Natalie Aguirre said workers thought the Secret Service agents who arrived ahead of the man they have code-named “Renegade” were businessmen trying to sell something â or joking. When Obama actually appeared, “I didn’t know what to say what to do,” the 21-year-old said.
“He was really just a normal person,” Aguirre said.
Keep pushing the cult narrative, Obamedia:
Obama ordered and paid for two plastic bags of food from the deli counter, a half-pound of whitefish salad, some Nova lox, bagels and cream cheese, latkes and three black-and-white cookies, and wandered around the restaurant tables. As he worked the unruly rope line that had formed outside, his security again jostled with the pulsing crowd.
One man, his face incredulous, yelled into a phone: “Yes! I’m only five feet away from him!”
Orgasm complete:
After saying goodbye to Michelle, who was spending the next day in Florida, he spent the bus ride to the airport in phone consultations with campaign staff back in Chicago, as baseball clips flashed on the giant flat screen. He spent the flight to Richmond, Va., with foreign policy advisers who were traveling with him ahead of a high-profile meeting scheduled for the next day.
Bedtime: 12:30 a.m.
“What an extraordinary day,” he had said earlier in Miami, shaking his head as the sun set over the sea of people.
Loven’s left-wing bias is such a running joke in the blogosphere she’s known as AP’s Democratic Operative.
She’s got her front-row seat in the Obama White House briefing room guaranteed.

clean up on media aisle 3
Whew… I need a cigarette now
And these morons want the intelligent people to believe that they are not biased?
And they think we’re stupid?
Another useful idiot. (Useful to the leftists, that is.) Judging by her journalist’s ethics, she’s not fit for a wet clean-up on aisle 11.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one the supermarket anology came to. She’s obvioulsy a natural born bagger.
Just what we need. Another bimbo in the white house whose knee pads have the presidential seal on them.
There, fixed it.
‘alighted’?? Lawzy–you’d think he was landing on the Mt. of Olives!
That’s it?? What a wuss!!! And what an obvious and pretentious display to drive across town to a public gym to work out for 25 chumptastic minutes!! I’m good for an hour a day four times a week, and I’m still overweight (but at least I’m not a weakling).
He could have done push-ups and sit-ups in his hotel room, but I’m sure he didn’t for the same reason that he blew off injured troops in Germany… no photo op.
What a tool.
Speaking of the media being in the tank for Obama, how much time have they spent complaining about the $5.3 million spent on Obama’s fake Greek Temple compared to the $150,000 spent on clothes for the Palin family? At least the clothes have lasted more than one night.
I think it is only fitting that the Obama campaign, which began in front of the marble pillars of a Greek temple, should end in a Greek tragedy on election day.
And she didnt even have to intern first.
What would Gore think of that?
I’ll join you.
” as the sun set over the sea of SHEEPLE” is the truth of the matter.
I think if I listen hard enough, I can hear her leaves flapping in the wind!
I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit.
It’s not even good drool writing. It sounds like something I would have written about my crush in the 10th grade.
RabbidSquirrel, I wasn’t going to go there but Rush coined a similar phrase today…
What a woos. ….Walking…lol….
and that’s a lot of time talking to foreign policy guru’s. Does this qualify as Remedial Education for The One.
Words fail me. This is like something hitlers propoganda people would have produced.
His plane stinks.
She can have him.
“What an extraordinary day,” he had said earlier in Miami, shaking his head as the sun set over the sea of
people. Usefull idiots.She puts the hag in hagiography.
How much money would I have made if I had Obama’s schedule. None. Zero. Zilch.
Eventually, my family would starve. Now that’s stress!
Where is the stress of running a campaign? You win or you lose. Your family still eats.
I don’t care if someone works hard for me. Who can forget Bill Clinton “I’m going to work as hard as I can for the American People”, in between blow jobs. Obama’s working hard? I’d much prefer someone who makes good decisions and takes lots of naps. A 4 hour work day is ok with me.
I’ve blogged about her before. She is probably one of the worst reporters out there, with or without a story on Obama. She really is talentless.
I hate AP.
The Propaganda People DID produce it.
aka.. the AP..
I took a dump a couple of hours ago. I could go into more detail but it would be pretty boring. Though that doesn’t stop others from their detailed accounts, see above.
$10 word pun–Bravo!
Why, nothing, Mr. Ansell. I’m sure the vehicles are all hybrids and even though the report says “motorcycles” I’m sure they were fuel efficient Vespas.
How is The One’s use of all this extra CO2 emissions helping my kids??
TooMuchTime you forgot to put “wink, wink” at the end!
Get a room, Jenny.
Good one!!
Umm. Is that racist, or just another “code word” for Oreos? Just askin’…
Personally, I believe Obama will walk right past all the people who have supported his cause. Nothing in his administrated will be as he has said in the campaign. His motives and plans were set in place in the home of Ayers and will come become reality if he is elected whether the dems like it or not.
Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more! Know what I mean?

lol
What was that? I missed it. Ive got Hannity and the Wilcow Majority on the satellite.
Call me crazy, but that sounds like the description of what I would imagine to be the daily routine of a presidential candidate.
Are you upset that she didn’t report on his daily phone conversation with Bill Ayers and other members of the communist party?
Where’s the story about how a similar campaign day’s schedule is being handled by the 70-something GOP nominee?
Crickets………………
Two words. Temple prostitute.
My collie says:
Stay tuned. They’re just getting warmed-up. Things will really start to get interesting when they resume the games in the arena.
Idiots like this are the reason I’ve discounted ANYTHING from the AP for months. The AP is more in the tank for The One than the NY Times, which is hard to believe. Often writing “stories” that are nothing more than Obama puff pieces, they push this crap as “news”. It’s also nice to know due to price increases, MANY newspapers across the country are dropping AP, including the LA Times and Chicago Tribune. I hope they and their syncophants go out of business.

I don’t think so. Every deity needs worshipers to give then the adulation they require. However I can see future press conferences where The One™ picks a female reporter at random and has her brought to him so he can “inducts” her into the clan of the Obamabots.
I need a shower. Geez.
Amen, Brother.
Barf, choke, gag, puke.
Is Obama going to ride Biden into Washington D.C. while the crowd waves palm branches?
So he’s no ordinary black man? How stereotypical…
Thanks for the visual, Hangfire! That will be stuck in my head all day.
I guess Loven has gotten the go ahead to interdview Bidens wife now as well as other leaders of the world.
A jackass riding a jackass is still a jackass, right?
I need a drink.
I looked up “How to Build a Catacomb”. There’s very little out there, unfortunately.
Mea Culpa Eternae, TooMuchTime
Obama “grinned for untold numbers of photos with cops, caterers, drivers, campaign volunteers and others;” I can believe any of it except for the cops. Obama’s campaign leaders have been asking cops and any military in uniform to move out of the way so they never get in any pictures. Obama continues to show his disdain for anyone in a uniform.
How does Obama feel about black pajamas?
There hasn’t been anything even remotely as over-the-top or fawning written about Obama in the past few years as there was written about George Bush over the course of his administration, particularly the early years. Look at how you guys worship Sarah Palin. To pretend that the Republican party isn’t the country’s most feverish cult of personality is just laughable.
Except for this and this. Though more likely, this.
I think he wants to you bow down and worship at his feet at least that is the impression I have been given.
Here’s the last three paragraphs from Glen Johnson’s companion AP piece on McCain’s 18 hour day.
Seems like normal reporting, but looks atrociously biased given Loven’s lopsided lovenote.
The sun does not set over a sycophantic sea of followers when you’re old and tired. No, you go to bed two hours earlier than the One, after having some cheap beer and lamenting the day’s verbal flubs.
Johnson makes a remark earlier in the piece about a “verbal tic” that McCain has, which demonstrates that he is connecting with his audience. These articles subtly damage him with every word and phrase, even in apparent praise. The AP is the central node of the Obamedia network.
Let’s see, we “worship” Governor Palin because she stands for freedom. You morons worship Obama because he stands for Marxism, Leninism, Socialism, Fascism, Nazism.
Yeah, our “cult of personality” is much worse than yours.
Obama, uber alles!
We fawn over Gov. Palin for what she believes, because we believe she’s a true conservative.
Most of BOs cult worship him just because he seems “cool”.
All that and no walking on water???
I am so disappointed
michelle o, better keep a close eye on the one, or he’ll have the 1/100th into some orgasmic teenybopper in the white house closet. think copresidency, yeah that will keep the lincoln bedroom unoccupied and the lewinskeyites out of the oval office.

By the looks of her she is surely a double bagger.1 for her-1 for you
Reminds me of the old joke about the Pope riding in a boat with Bush. Twice the Pope’s hat blows overboard; Bush walks across the water and picks it up and returns it to the Pope.
Next day’s headline in Washington Post:

Hey, if you want a good laugh at Obama’s expense (who doesn’t), go to The People’s Karaoke.

Did he not take a smoke break all day, or did she leave that out to avoid offending the delicate sensibilities of the nanny-staters?
Why does it have to be that way? If you’re capable of saying that you like Palin because you believe in her platform, why do you think it’s so impossible that different people like Obama’s platform? I certainly believe you when you tell me you like Sarah Palin. Why don’t you believe me, or Colin Powell, for example, when we say we like Barack Obama?
People identify with Obama’s narcissism. Our country is in trouble.
Examples of Bush worship from a MSM network or newspaper please.
You’re right, how should I have been so foolish. I realize now I was just enthralled by an ex-beauty queen that shoots moose. I’ve seen the light. I will now support Obama because he…because he… uses reverb in his amplified speeches.
Would you be surprised to find out that Jennifer’s middle name is Democrat? It’s her life’s mission to promote those democrat’ Loven causes!
Wonder if she’ll annoint his feet.
I don’t think anyone’s “preparing their heart” to be “a sanctuary for” Sarah Palin. That’s worship.
Thinking she’s awesome because she’s successful without leeching off a rich/successful man and espouses conservative ideals is not worship.
OMG, he’s like, so, um, busy and that like must mean he would be a, you know, a, presidents, dude. He eve is just like you and me man, he works our and eats.
/The One Follower off
Hey! That’s mine!!!
Is it true that McCain’s highest paid campaign staffer is Palin’s make-up artist?
What kind of intelligent person would vote for those priorities?
Loven enjoys supplicating before Obama no doubt
What would Al Gore say? I mean- I know he would do the same thing, but what would he say?
LGM Did you enjoy that story?
HMMMMMMM wink wink
So instead of staying at the hotel that obviously had more than enough equipment for him to use, he decided…obviously with all the care and concern about “Man-Made Climate Change” at the forefront of his decision, to drive all the way across town, putting people’s lives at risk….such as the motorcop’s and others who will no doubt be rubber-necking to see what the big procession is etc., to work out for 25 MINUTES? Just so that he could make a procession out of it? So he could make a spectacle out of it?
How much of a workout did he get, considering all the autographs and such he had to sign? I don’t know about the rest of you, but when I work out, it is pretty hard to do with so much other stuff going on.
And was the description of his lunch suppose to show that he is “down with the Jews”? Why so much emphasis on it? We all know that he is anti-Israel and supports the other team. It comes with being supported and cheered on by Hamas.
Also, if this is not about the color of his skin, as so many Obamadrones claim…then why the mention and emphasis on his being black? Was his day supposed to be all that much more extrordinary simply because he is the “First black man with a clear shot at the White House”?
And what is a day in the life of McCain? Is it any less extraordinary merely becuse he is NOT black?
If you ask me, all this shows is what a self-grandizing ego-maniac he is.
But then, we didn’t need this article to tell us that.
“Obama ordered and paid for two plastic bags of food from the deli counter, a half-pound of whitefish salad, some Nova lox, bagels and cream cheese, latkes and three black-and-white cookies, and…”

Not exactly the point. We have here an alleged reporter doing nothing more than a campaign puff piece for Obamunist. Can you point to any comparable pieces by AP writers detailing the comprehensive wonderfulness of John McCain.
I would hope intellectual honesty would compel even the most committed leftist to acknowledge the the mainstream media is almost entirely in the tank for BO.
Palin’s wardrobe is a scandal; Obama’s close decades-long associations with racists, communists, terrorists and terrorist apologists are irrelevant.
Obama’s wife is off-limits; Sarah Palin’s kids are fair game.
Tony Rezko….who’s that? And oh, have you heard that Sarah Palin got a boozing, kid-tasering ex-relative dismissed from his job as a COP?
On and on. If you can’t acknowledge the double-standard, you’re either profoundly stupid or profoundly dishonest.
They did a piece on McCain’s 18 hour day, also. The tone, while not derisive, was unflattering. But it certainly read more like a journalist wrote it versus the AP Chapter President of the BO International Fan Club.
::shudders remembering press bloviations during the Clinton years::
Good Lord, what will this “woman” do if she finds out Obama is pro-death?
Two points.
So we, the unwashed masses, must sacrifice any possible carbon footprint or impact on gorebal warming so the Anointed One can be driven to exercise.
…in a public location so the masses have a chance to fawn over the Dear Leader.
Was it OLYPMPICS who complained conservatives worship Palin? I don’t think so, we are just excited that a true conservative is on the national ticket. The difference between BO and SP is that Sarah would not accept worship from the masses where BO probably would. Another thing is the whole Press Corp seems to worship BO where they at the same time despise Palin.

Because you’re all generally dishonest about what his platform is, which is understandable, because he is too. He’s a guy whose entire adult life has been rapped up in revolutionary leftist politics and exclusionary ethnic religion, and now he wants you to believe that he’s neither of those things anymore because, well … just because.
OTOH, Sarah Palin is exactly what she says she is. She didn’t get to where she is because she was born or married to political royalty (hello, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton), she started out in her local PTA. She’s a strong-willed, self-made woman made of the stuff the women who accompanied westward pioneers were made of. Her detractors ignore that, and laugh at her Idaho sheepskin. Well, no other Governor has an approval rating approaching Palin’s. So much for the Ivy League.
She isn’t just pro-life, she’s got a young one who is living testimony to her commitment to a culture of life, and been pilloried for her stand.
She didn’t just talk about reform, she’s run over corrupt politicians and bureaucrats in her own party and gotten into hot water for wanting to get a rogue Trooper fired. She didn’t just talk about fiscal responsibility, she slashed the budget with a scalpel and was criticized for that as well.
She and her family have taken more public abuse and scurrilous lies in the past eight weeks than most of us will suffer in a lifetime (how many times has a porno king made a DVD making fun of YOUR life out of spite?), but she’s not slowing down, she’s still punching back, and she’s NOT crying; she’s keeping a smile on her face. And while she does have to bend to McCain’s moderate agenda to a certain extent, she is one of the last of a rare conservative breed that won’t compromise her principles for the sake of appearing warm and fuzzy to big-government advocates.
The fact that she’s smoking hot is icing on the cake. And what sweeeet icing it is!
Hey Jennifer, you’ve got some tartar sauce on your chin.
What do you mean, “It’s not tartar sauce”?
