Obamania 24/7

He might get a little testy with the nonstop coverage. You know, not enough time to eat his waffles.

You can also guarantee the public will soon have had enough of this guy being force-fed down our throats.

Get ready for a round-the-clock Obamarama.

The media-savvy Democrat had ducked the 24/7 press coverage that other presidential candidates have endured for months, but no more. As of Saturday, every breath he takes, every move he makes will be scrutinized and recorded for posterity, often with a biting wit.

Now orbiting Sen. Barack Obama is the gaggle of reporters known as a "protective pool" - although newshounds who cover presidents have dubbed the duty "body watch."

Thanks to the endless coverage, we've recorded another flip-flop.

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Gregory Wallace Report: Barack Obama aligned himself with welfare reform on Monday, launching a television ad which touts the way the overhaul "slashed the rolls by 80 percent." Obama leaves out, however, that he was against the 1996 federal legislation which precipitated the caseload reduction.

"I am not a defender of the status quo with respect to welfare," Obama said on the floor of the Illinois state Senate on May 31, 1997. "Having said that, I probably would not have supported the federal legislation, because I think it had some problems."
