From the desk of Howard Kurtz: Obama's second-term curse? Not so fast.
Editor's note: Howard Kurtz is the host of CNN's "Reliable Sources."
(CNN) - The media verdict is in: Barack Obama is cursed.
Less than four months after taking the oath of office for the second time, he is seen as falling prey to some mysterious witchcraft that casts a fatal spell on re-elected presidents.
"Will Obama suffer the 'second-term curse'?" asks the Washington Post.
"President Obama stares down the second-term curse," says Politico. And such stories ricocheted onto NBC's "Today" show, on which, we learned, "some observers" are questioning whether "Mr. Obama is falling victim to the second-term curse."
One can almost conjure up a bubbling cauldron of black smoke with a wand-wielding wizard laughing diabolically.

RE: May 19th show. Please stop asking Jennifer Rubin and David Shuster on your show. They never add anything to a discussion except their own biased views. In fact, it would be great if they were both dropped as CNN commentators.
