When Bush was president,
I remember that anything that he said was taken as a fact, so much, that George Bush would come up with weird ways to call things and the media would take them as "new phrases" = Axis of evil, war on terror, etc, etc.

Today, president Obama can't say 1 word without the media asking if what he said is true and the 1st lady is treated as if she was Britney Spears (visit to the Queen of England, $500 shoes, her shorts, etc, etc, etc)

Does the media treat President Obama and his family as the leaders of the free World?

So, were you asking a real question or simply looking for an argument? If the latter, I find that quite disingenuous.

In response to the original question, I really don't think much of the press today but if I were to venture a guess, I think they think Obama has a bit of growing and maturing to do to fit into that role. Preaching to the masses does not equate to leadership.
