    Bias in the left dominated media.
    Isn't it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years? And, they even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc. Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a wedge from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade. Not only that, they know which wedge! And, each & every day, they continue to provide America with updates on Tiger's sex rehab stay, his wife's plans for divorce, as well as the dates & tournaments in which he will play.

    Now, Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for a year-and-a-half, yet this very same press:

    Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;
    Or find any of Obama's high school or college classmates;
    Or locate any of his college papers or grades;
    Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia & a Harvard education;
    Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;
    Or even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism.
    They just can't seem to uncover any of this.
    Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth and nothing but the truth!
    Simply amazing, isn't it??

    Seems that the Code of Ethics that journalists follow is voluntary:

    Society of Professional Journalists: SPJ Code of Ethics

    They volunteered to report all the details on a golfer, and, apparently, have not volunteered to report on POTUS or his spouse.

    As an attempt to offset the poor, or lack of, good truthful reporting, this has recently started:

    The Blaze

    I will let everyone figure out on their own who is backing this.

    Hello smoothy:

    Look... I'll admit it. It's been a left wing conspiracy, but I'll divulge it, just this once. Barrack Hussein Obama is a cyborg. We GREW him from a lump of clay. He HAS no history. He HAS no passport. He HAS no birth certificate. He IS a foreigner, all right. He's not like you and me. He's different..

    We're running things now, and, he's coming to get you.

    It's truly amazing the amount of power we lefties have. The righties have no match for it.

    So... do you think anyone trying to find Obamas school records proving or disproving the lefts claims about him being "The smartest President we've ever had" which remains totally unsubstantiated would be worthy of jail time or huge punitive fines? When every other president or candidate has publicly released those records.

    And there is a very good reason I'm asking that... because people HAVE been arrested, charged, and are awaiting sentencing for trying to find that information out... 9 people in all, only one has yet to be tried of that bunch 8 were convicted. And they may face $100,000 dollar fines and a year in jail... each, for trying to find these records that should rightfully be public information for an elected official.

    Why are his school records such an issue of national security? Because after all, the left portrays him as something he clearly isn't... which ammounts to false advertising.

    Hello again, smoothy:

    I'd LOVE to hear about that. Please link us to it. People have been arrested for investigating Obama's past?? Is that what you're saying?? Cool. Show me.

    I haven't seen any evidence of intelligence in the Whitehouse in the last 19 months. And Certainly none that Obama actually got a passing grade.

    The man is totally clueless about simple economics.

    Regarding college, the myth that no one can find any of his classmates is just that - a myth. See: snopes.com: Barack Obama at Columbia

    As for how did he pay for school - both he and Michelle took advantage of scholarships (which at Ivy League institutions are all need-based and not based on grades or scholastic achievement) and lots of student loans. See: snopes.com: Where Did Obama's Money Come From?

    I don't know why he hasn't authorized release of his college transcripts - I would guess they aren't very good.

    Smoothy - there is plenty to criticize in Obama's record, but dragging up silly aqnd unsubstantiated conspiracy theories just hurts the credibility of those of us on the right.

    Article in the Washington post buried in one of the inner pages and only attributed to -From News services was either 28 or 29 of August, think it was Saturday the 28... I have it cut out and in front of me.. here is a link

    washingtonpost.com

    Third article up from the bottom.

    Tell me any of them deserve even a slap on the wrist for something that rightfully should be public info. And has been with every OTHER president.

    And Nobody has ever accused The Washington Post of being even a right leaning paper.

    I don't totally trust Snopes... I've proved them wrong in the past on a couple points. They may be right most of the time... but not all of the time.

    Incidentally... those scholarships if true... were not need based... they were race based. I'm his age... was far poorer, and couldn't get a red cent for ANY of the grants and scholarships I applied for because I was too white. Never mind the fact my parents didn't have a full time job for 3 years thanks to Jimmy Carters Economy and were on food stamps the entire time scraping by on a couple part time jobs. I grew up poor... my parents never made much... but I was told we were too wealthy, on unemployment or 20-30 hours a week at less then 3 dollars an hour, and food stamps to qualify for aid. Without money how could you fight this sort of thing in 1979 and 1980. Obama is literally only a few months older than I am. If you are old enough.. thats when Affirmative action and quotas came in hard and heavy... and seriously in favor of Blacks and women (even over far more qualified white men) Before the courts ruled against quotas just for the sake of quotas.

    Really, because the Messiahs school records are national secrets that won't even be released under the freadom of information act?


    Do you think Hillary Clinton should have gone to jail over Filegate?

    And she would have if Janet Reno had pursued it with the Gusto of Ruby Ridge and Waco. And THAT was far worse than school records to prove the lefts claims about how all knowing and smart the Idiot in the Whitehouse is. Are his grades really so bad its worth spending Millions of dollars to hide them? And wreck 9 lives.

    After all look at the Tax Cheats in his cabinet... THEY didn't get screwed like that.

    I suppose if the next Republican to run and get elected refused to release his (or Her) records you would defend that with the same gusto? Right?

    Does it matter HOW? The fact is as an elected official of that stature.. the american public by precidence establish over how many election cycles now... are entitled to know this. Since the Democrats never miss a chance to harp how smart he is... something none of them actually know for a fact. They should have been released... They do not rise to the level of a state secret, or Juvenile Court records.

    As opposed to an Obama buttkisser who believes anything their party tells them to believe? None of which can be backed up with any evidence about the Messiahs claimed intelligence... etc.


    I ask for proof he is as smart as your side claims... your side just believes he is the Messiah and if he says he is that smart then he is.

    And that Nothing halfway through his term is his fault yet. And your side still blames a guy that retired and not holding ANY elected office since the messiah decended from heaven to grace mankind with his smarts.

    If he is what you all claim he is... show us the proof to back it up and stop with the rhetoric.
