The WaPo's crusade to destroy Obama continues apace

the headline of the daily wapo opinion email...

Today's Opinions: Obama's Flaws and Gaffes

the two lead items...

Michael Gerson
A Phenom With Flaws
Is Barack Obama a weak candidate or a strong one? Yes.

Charles Krauthammer
Obama's Growing Gaffe
How a campaign misstep became a foreign policy cornerstone.

all of this is merely prelude to hauling out the big guns... we ain't seen nothing like the barrage of heavy character assassination artillery that will be unleashed in the coming months as obama moves into the thick of the full-blown presidential campaign and the weeks draw down to the party conventions...
