If the media is in love with Obama, it’s certainly undeniable that McCain has been their darling for years.
It has taken the McCain campaign repeating lies (not exaggerations, half-truths, or flip-flops) dozens and dozens of times to get the media to move away from any sort of false equivalency stance – and they’re still reluctant to call a lie a lie.
I’m also not sure how your example is supposed to demonstrate that Obama is lousy under pressure. I think it drives home just how ridiculous the whole “lipstick on a pig” flap is.

The media has been in love with Obama since the beginning. If the media had done it’s job they would have figured out long ago what a lousy candidate Obama is. The Dems would have picked Hillary and McCain would be in for a beating in November.
The Dems are just starting to realize that Obama is lousy under pressure and he’ll probably blow the election.
Obama On Letterman: ‘McCain Policy Is The Pig’

“Keep in mind, technically, had I meant it this way, [Palin] would be the lipstick. The failed policies of John McCain would be the pig, just following the logic of this illogical situation,”

Please get Obama on Letterman every night. 😎
