Tired of the foregone conclusion that has become Sen. Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, the press has focused its lights on Sen. Barack Obama, darling of the media and Democrats (not always synonymous) since his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

Last week, the junior senator from Illinois seemed to seal the deal on his nascent presidential campaign with a speech on Iraq to the Chicago Council on Foreign Affairs, the intent of which, presumably, was to convince skeptics that he’s no slouch on foreign affairs. No matter. That anyone is even considering Obama as a serious candidate for president is outrageous and silly.
