It is very hard for be to believe that the motivation for the Washington Post's new found sense of morality, consciousness is that the lie was too egregious even for them to continue covering it up and called the President out based on a sense of moral indignation, honesty, principle.

No. If the Washington Post was still managed, operated on the basis of the felonious journalistic protocols they have been following for decades, the MSM approach to reporting the news would have continued unabated.

What I believe was the reason the Washington Post took this approach because Jeff Bezos, of Amazon.com, the recent new owner of the Washington Post is simply not a journalist in the old-school-journalism-Dan-Rather approach to reporting the news.

He does have whatever higher standards it took for him to say it, report what he felt in a more straight-forward way then what was once the modus-operandi of the press since the dinosaurs began to roam.

Don't think for single moment that the Washington Post, MSM, journalists in particular have had a change of heart.

At least 5 years ago I suggested that the MSM, should and would begin to attack each other.

It is a tremendous opportunity to generate revenue.

While the Post didn’t attack their peers, their break from the established narrative will make them a target.

This could get very interesting.

Their Democrat President and Democrat President-To-Be have been up to some really bad stuff, and the Washington Post has been blindly supporting them. This is an insurance policy. If Obama and Hillary really go down the tubes, the Post can say, “We didn’t know! Turns out Obama is a liar! You can’t prosecute us! We’re victims!”

Maybe they can scratch that into their cell walls.

We realize that Senate rules are complex and difficult to understand, but the president did serve in the Senate and should be familiar with its terms and procedures

That is an assumption totally lacking in supporting evidence

You might be right. The other thing is that libs love the party more than Obama, and eventually they might have to turn away from him if they want to win in 2016.

0bunghole is the worst lying demagogue I can think of in my lifetime. He will lie about anything and everything and do a half-assed job of it to boot.

Obama spoke at a fundraising event for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Los Angeles Wednesday, and made the charge against Republican lawmakers.

A fool and his money...
