The Guardian against Obama?

Many people in the British media are chastising Demorcatic candidate Hilary Clinton for not making herslef available to them.

On the contrary, rival Barack Obama has been very open and approachable, as was demonstrated in The Guardian’s ‘Super Tuesday’ guide today, which included a photograph of Obama surrounded by jorunalists’ dictaphones.

It doesn’t, however, show his face. Nor do the other two photographs from his campaign, whereas Clinton and Republican favourite John mcCain have prime, face-on photos with their supporters behind them.

Is The Guardian more interested in his enthusiastic supporters, diverse in their age and ethnicity, than the policy-less potential threat to ‘homeland’ and international security?

Or do they genuinely admire his sporadic naïvety, and are merely openly declaring precisely how photogenic this unexperiences candidate isn’t?
