BREAKING NEWS! The Shocking Secrets That Could Destroy Obama's Presidency
I don't read much tabloid journalism, but they have been pretty good lately with political scandals.
I was grocery shopping yesterday at Wal Mart and noticed this article as I passed through the check out. I bought the magazine, and was very relieved to see in print the Globe asking the eight questions most on my mind these past few weeks as I have researched Barack Obamas past.
The questions ranged from his citizenship status to his ties to the death of Donald Young.
I was really pleased to finally see this coverage.

PS It will be interesting to see how the President deals with the press these next few weeks. He was a bit upset by Politico Reporter asking him a question.
The tabloids lead the way on the Monica Lewinsky story.
This reminds me of Men In Black where they get the REAL facts from the checkout tabloids, all other media is smoke and mirrors.
Excellent point ... and little Johnny Edwards love interest & child as well.
The tabloids also led on Jesse Jacksons luv child and also John Edwards
Doesn’t prove tabloids are always or even mostly right- only that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
But it is interesting to see hints of ODS syndrome emerging from the tabloids.

10 Reasons Why We Fight Against Obama
The stories are old news, the only reason they are being published is because there is a market for them.
MSM was not interested and will continue being non-interested. This is all a moot point.
The Obamaorgasm is over, the afterglow is over, the only thing left now is the lover’s quarrel. Lets hope its a doozy!
One thing to keep in mind is that the Clintons had a pipeline to the National Enquirer. They used that as a pipeline to get stories out. If Hillary is going to shank her boss in the back, she might choose that particular Media outlet.
FR has jumped the shark if we start using “the Globe” as an authentic source.
World of difference between “the National Enquirer” and “the Globe”.
The National Enquirer pays people to rat out their famous friends.
The Globe pays people to make things up.
It was not “tabloids” that broke the John Edwards, Jesse Jackson, Rush Limbaugh stories; it was “the National Enquirer”.
If so, they are targeting the right audience!
I laughed till the tears fell and the clerk demanded to know what I was laughing about. We laughed about it for months.
you betcha!
More shocking is that Laura Bush may have had plastic surgery! Oh, my!
Have you read the GLOBE articles?
I think you miss the point of freepers discussing this stuff.
The impact on the gullible public of seeing this stuff - repeatedy- every time they are waiting in the checkout line at the supermarket- should not be overlooked.
As a former tabloid junkie (who gave up paying for them when they trashed Sarah Palin) I think that this stuff blares out at middle and lower class America and has an impact.
A lie told often enough and in bright screaming headlines at every checkout stand- soon becomes gossip and “something I read....” and plants seeds of doubt among the cattle classes that voted blindly for this wonderful guy who is going to CHANGE things..
Before the inauguration there was literally NOTHING negative about the Obamas (au contraire- sickeningly cloying wholesome family stuff). Now here we go after only 3 days?
What is happening here? And how will the Obamites handle trashing of their messiah?
Enquiring minds want to know!
How many headlines of “Bush drinking again” do I have to read, and then see a sober Bush, before I discount anything and everything the Globe has to say?
