ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 2 — At a secret meeting with Barack Obama three months ago, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes says, he tried to clear the air with the Democratic senator by saying that his organization was determined to be fair but would not be “in the tank” for Obama’s campaign.
(snip)
.... Obama told the Australian-born mogul that he didn’t want to waste time talking to Ailes if Fox was going to keep attacking the senator and his wife and portraying him as suspicious and foreign. ....
Events do not happen in a vaccum. Suddenly everyone and their brothers are talking about those birthers who are part of the “lunatic fringe.” Then another round “is it real or is it Memorex” docs released on the web.
There is something Obama is hiding. Playing devil’s advocate, lets say he was born in Hawaii. What is he hiding? What is he trying to keep from the public domain? What documets and public records have been scrubbed from courthouses across the country?
Another private meeting. *sigh*
I wonder what is the particularly serious embarrassment will result from turning over the requested documentation???
Thank you so much for this information.
