Obama gets no bad press from LAT

A few days ago, the LAT published a front page piece that ridiculed President Bush for comments he made when he complimented Henry Paulson for the work he did over the weekend. Bush's words were not artful but they were well-meaning. Bush was simply thanking a man for the work he did, and that's appropriate.

In the LAT today, there's no mention of the words Barack Obama spoke yesterday to a radio interviewer in Philadelphia in which he referred to his grandmother as a "typical white person." If Bush had referred to a "typical black person" the LAT would have splashed it all over the front page.
