Once upon a time (in 2008) there came a presidential candidate... his name: Barak Hussein Obama. Little was known about him but(funny?), most of the establishment media curiously werent very curious about him... it was such a GREAT story, the first African-American (aka: black) with a good chance to be elected president, (no matter he had no birth certificate)! The big media were enthusiastic players (and salespersons)in this political scenario, soon casting aside the normal questions as to qualifications and background and also tossing aside the assumed Democrat front runner, Hillary Clinton... for this "clean articulate" new guy! Wild speculations ensued, tingles went up/down media pundit's legs, and adoring praise was heaped upon HIM creating a kinda messianic figure! For a mostly unknown, unvetted first term Senator from Illinois... go figure?(Never lets fact get in the way of a good story!). The excitement generated by the media sales job encouraged lotsa folks to buy. Especially first time and young voters... it all seemed SO GOOD! We would have a big lovefest, racism would end, the oceans would recede, the world would love us, cheap green energy soon available to all, and maybe even our rent and mortgage would be paid! Good times a'comin'... whats not to like?
