“I still don’t expect this lie to get much coverage. The media is in love with this guy.”

But you posted this from one of the leading Liberal MSM rags the WaPo. That’s major coverage by MSM.

I guess that the WA Post came to the realization that carrying water for Barack Obama wasn't exactly fair and balanced. This is very old news.

bama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys -- Jack and Bobby -- decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barack Obama, Sr., to America.

The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So, if his African grandfather heard words that "sent a shout across oceans," inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Actually, Senior was awarded an American sponsored scholarship in economics to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He was selected by a former Kenyan cabinet minister, the late Tom Mboya, who was earmarked as the successor to Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya's first prime minister.

The presumption was that Senior would return to Africa and use his "Western-honed skills in a new Kenya."

I’m wondering when the press is going to report that Obama’s father had multiple wives. If Romney’s dad had been into polygamy, we’d have been reminded every day.

Yes, but it is only one MSM outlet. I predict it does not become a huge deal.

Oh, quibble, quibble by those pesky fact-checkers. Just when we thought it was the inspiration of Selma that caused his parents to copulate, a footnote says that he was four years old at the time. Now this mean-spirited attempt to spoil Caroline Kennedy's fantasies.

"Looks like McCain will face one of two liars in November."

As will his adversary....

All three are Liars, Corrupt, Liberal and unhealthy for the Republic...

Obama adds the "detractor" of also being a black racist with a suspicious Muslim background.

Juan McCain wants to run a “respectful” campaign, so he won’t use the ammunition Democrats hand him...

You, on the other hand seem to be totally unencumbered by respect for anyone.

The Soviets would add or omit politicians from group photos of Stalin based on whether they currently were in or fell out of favor with the Communist Party.

Obama has been caught employing a Stalinist tactic of historical revisionism.

As a presidential candidate, “show me” what McCain has done to earn a FReeper’s respect?

Tooooo bad the Kennedys didn’t provide money for MaryJo Kopechne and her family to be airlifted out of Teddy’s driving range.
