I don't think I've seen *anyone* on this thread say "IF it's true." Everyone's pretty much assuming that it is and trashing the President. After all, why wait for the President to make an announcement? That ruins all the fun of trashing him on speculation.
The MSM likes to choose people for us. They do it every time. What has Obama done? Nothing, but the MSM thinks he can win. Before THEY chose, no one even knew who he was.
My guess is Mitchell is the MSM's choice. They're trying to push him on us.
