Journalist covering Obama event was overheard squealing "He touched me!" as she left the ballroom

Need more evidence that newspaper and TV reporters have become Obama's booster squad? I have more evidence for you. The latest comes from Obama's appearance at UNITY convention in Chicago on Sunday.

Still, Obama received a standing ovation from many in the audience at the start and end of his appearance. There was also a rush toward the stage after his speech, as Obama shook hands and signed autographs.

One journalist was also overheard wishing him luck, while another squealed, "He touched me!" as she left the ballroom.

I wonder if the media is capable of embarrassment anymore. Hat tip: Newsbusters.
