ABC's Jake Tapper: Obama Thinks He's President; Denies Media Access
| NewsBusters.org: "Not every reporter covering Barack Obama's world tour is entranced by the words and imagery of the Democratic candidate. On Thursday's 'Good Morning America,' political correspondent Jake Tapper jabbed at Obama's overconfidence, describing the senator's July 24 speech in Berlin as 'one the Obama campaign is billing at almost presidential. Even though he is not the president.'
Reporting from inside the Obama plane, Tapper complained in a snarky tone, 'Inside, the plane has been redesigned to separate the senator and his staff from us lowly reporters.' He added that Obama officials told journalists that they could brief reporters as anonymous officials. Tapper grumbled, 'One of them said that's what we did at the White House during the Clinton years. We pointed out they don't work at the White House.' Regarding the Obama plane, the ABC journalist also pointed out: 'The American flag on the tail wing has been replaced by an enormous Obama O.'" continued
"American flag disappears from Obama campaign jet"As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Obama's official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.
The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boarded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.
Obama traveled to the Mideast earlier this week on board a separate airplane.
Fox News blogger Bonny Kapp, traveling on Obama's new airplane, reported:
"The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama 'O.'"
