Pete Parisi of The Washington Times notes that Barack Obama is protected by "a defensive cordon provided by a news media so unabashedly in the tank for Mr. Obama that they need scuba gear." And since they're not asking questions, Pete does. For example:

You and your vice-presidential running mate, Sen. Joe Biden, have vowed repeatedly to "end" the war in Iraq. Why is the verb always "end" and never "win"? . . .
In your acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention, you said we should be our "brother's keeper." Yet, what have you done in that regard to help your own half-brother, George Hussein Obama, who lives in a hut in the slums of Nairobi, Kenya, on $1 a month?
