Tough questions for the president-elect

This is what the media is covering. They don't ask the questions about his grandmother or his aunt. But we know all about the first pet situation, what he's wearing, and where he's going. Is he going to meet his "secret man"? How about that one time he "went to the gym" three times? And could that visit have anything to do with Wright's speech at Northwestern? So they could make a deal that Wright doesn't go off the deep end until after his inauguration. Maybe Wright prayed for the repose of barry's grandmother's soul.

Later he left the house alone, clad in sports clothes, a cap and sunglasses, and spent an hour at a friend's apartment building where he uses the gym.

By the time he left, a small crowd of well-wishers had gathered outside, cheering as his car drove off.

Then it was back home to shower before heading in to the office in a downtown building, where he held a conference call to thank campaign staff around the country.

The President-elect wore a suit but no tie, and carried a black satchel. Asked how much sleep he had managed to get, he said: "Not as much as I'd like."

That's the only question they had to ask the new president-elect? How long before the pro-obama media climbs out of their cocoon?
