The vast majority of likely voters have not been chasing this story. Even after Rathergate, bloggers are still a rare breed when it comes to these types of bombshells. As of August 15, Fox News still appeared to be completely oblivious to this story (see the video link).

Only if this story was a red herring would Obama desire that his entire opposition be totally distracted and consumed with it, only for him to spring a legit B.C. at the perfect moment. But FR and other Blogs do not comprise a major voting block. We simply make a big, and effective impact on very critical issues.

The blogosphere is still the cutting edge and not well known to the majority of Americans. We represent a tiny fraction of the voting public. Any major public figure knows we are very dangerous when it comes to exposing truth, and Obama knows it.

He gains nothing for any such story to gestate in places like FR, LGF, or other known venues where facts get sorted out from fiction.

You make my point.

FR and other Blogs comprise none of the voting blocks he is interested in.

If something looks to good to be true, it probably is.

I’m to the point that Obama springing a supposed legit BC may not have any impact on people’s impression of him.

He is hiding a great deal of background information on himself. That says he had things in his background he fears will jeopardize his campaign OR that he doesn’t trust the American people with the truth.

We can’t have a President who won’t trust his own people!
