And now, charging for access to the king

On election night, there are going to be some reporters who get an 'unobstructed view' of Obama. Those are the press members who have paid. The rest will join the rest of the pool with an obstructed view.

No, this isn't the rantings of a right wing loon. This is according to Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet:

The Obama campaign is putting a hefty price tag on the best camera and reporting positions for news organizations covering Barack Obama's outdoor election night activities in downtown Chicago. If a reporter wants access to the file center--which will be the best place to find Obama officials and spokesmen--be prepared to write a check for $935. The cheapest place a reporter could stand on a riser with a view is $880.

Every day, the Obama camp creeps me out a little bit more. If Obama fans are reading this, can you please take a moment and think: What would happen if a Republican suggested such a thing?

Yes, I disagree with Barack on a ton of things... but that's not what worries me about the possibility that he might get elected. I have genuine concerns about a candidate who charges money for the best access, who already put the word "president" on the seat of his plane, and who has a giant 8 ft. tall image of his face in his headquarters.
