Juan Williams Now Blasts the Press On Obama

He is adding his voice to a growing concern(Finally).

So you know, the problem here is he’s not being treated as a politician. The press is not being sufficiently adversarial, which is its role, to hold him accountable. And part of this, I think, goes back to the campaign.
I think a lot of people think, “Well, he’s a black man. He’s the president of the United States. This is unbelievable. This is historic. We better get on the bandwagon. We better get on the right side of history.”
But that’s not the role that the press should play. And just the way that you can condemn someone because of their race or because of difference, I fear that they’re now celebrating him and hold him — holding him and Michelle up to unreasonable standards and that they will jump off
