Barack Obama hs made a speciality of having it both wasy: actring cynically while denouncing cynicism. So far, his Teflon coating has shielded him from any accountability in the mainstream media. The latest example was yesterday. Obama said Memorial Day is not for politics... then he stated:

"This is a day on which we reflect on those who have fallen and reflect on the sacrifices they have made for all of us," Obama said, talking with reporters after the brief ceremony. "This is a great day to think about what we're doing on behalf of our veterans, and what we're not doing on behalf of our veterans."
