Poor Chuck. After working his tail off over the last four-plus years to shield Obama from any scrutiny, the media lapdog lamented that this was the closest he could get to the Anointed One during this afternoon’s fiscal cliff statement:
Needless to say, conservatives had no sympathy for him:

@ChuckTodd Why are you surprised Obama has contempt for the press? You've certainly earned it.

@whpresscorps @iowahawkblog @chucktodd Why would Chuck want to ask him a difficult question – he hasn't done it in the past 4 years.

@chucktodd If only you'd asked those q's 2 months ago. Oh right, you were busy working on his reelection.

@chucktodd What press? You have lost the respect of half the nation at least. I have stopped watching the news in favor of the internet

Indeed. With Obama’s second term a done deal, he no longer needs the media to do his bidding. Unlike as is the case for so many Americans, the president’s job is quite secure. Chuck is gonna have to get comfortable sitting on the sidelines with the rest of America.
