I haven’t read any Obama biographies lately, and don’t even know who the author of this is, as the link doesn’t take me directly to the story, but I am fairly certain this particular suck-butt probably made Obama into a shining star,especially since he works for the Washington Post.
The writer is David Maraniss (Marinass?), author of "Barack Obama: The Story" where, like a proper pointy-headed deconstructionist, he reseached and debunked large swaths of BHO's biography of non-accomplishment, "Dreams From My (Alleged) Father."
Mr. Marinade is very very butthurt that Right Wing Haters are using his discoveries against his master.
What drives them? Some of it can be attributed to the give-and-take of todays harsh ideological divide. Some of it can be explained by the way misinformation spreads virally to millions of like-minded people, reinforcing preconceptions. And some of it, I believe, arises out of fears of demographic changes in this country, and out of racism.
