President Obama is on track to be the most covered president in history by the media.
From Forbes.com
President Barack Obama appears to be breaking every record kept on U.S. presidential press coverage. Over the first six months of this year, he was cited in a staggering 1.1 million stories across mainstream, Internet and social media–an average of 6,100 references a day. That’s more than triple what Obama’s last two predecessors, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, got in the mainstream press during their first six months.
The president is tagged on 216,000 YouTube videos and mentioned in an average 15,000 blog posts a week, according to Icerocket.com.
Mark Knoller, a CBS News White House correspondent who has covered every president since Gerald Ford, says Obama’s ubiquity is unprecedented. In the first half of the year, says Knoller, the president delivered 281 speeches, gave 88 interviews to journalists, hosted 30 news conferences and emceed 14 town hall meetings. He gave an entire day’s worth of access to ABC’s Nightline and has held conference calls with bloggers.
The president told the nation in his health care press conference that “it isn’t about me” but based on his aggressive efforts with the media it clearly is about him.

JerryG—you are so on target—-luckily my remote buttons work—and rather quickly for a gal my age-
However—I did hear—and I tend to agree—the more he’s on—the lower his ratings go—
The guy is a ego-maniac and trying to make up for his troubled childhood—he has to be the center of attention—ad nauseum as you said—-
Quote: The president told the nation in his health care press conference that “it isn’t about me”
Excuse me while I die laughing!!!!!
When he called the White Sox pitcher who pitched a no hitter—to congradulate him—he stated he tought it was because he wore his Whtie Sox jacket during the All Start Game!!!!
The man is an empty suit and a liar——
Now, now, you don’t want to talk that way about a religious figure, do you? I was told “some of our best people” voted for the Obamadonna-Incarnate. Get back in line, do as you’re told, pay your additional taxes, and keep quiet.
