Wow! That is really taking something out of context. And it is so obvious and easily checked. But here is the kicker: The MSM will not expose this. They will let it ride.
Sure it's proof of the desperation of the Obama-ites, but it begs the question: What else are they capable of trying? What will the MSM let them get away with? At what point will they press say, "enough is enough!"? Are some people in power willing to tear this country apart to get "their guy" elected? What would they with all that power if they accomplish that?
And, more ominously, what will they do if BO loses?

What did they do when the Rodney King video dropped over the transom?

If Big Journalism tries that again, we will desperately need the government to stand up and tell them that they will be sued out of existence if they persist.

Actually, I think that you've got it backwards. It's not the MSM that's being used, but the MSM that's using Obama. I honestly believe that since the 1950s, the media in this country has seen itself as a fourth branch of government, and their responsibility was to keep the other three "honest." Of course, that's nonsense, but that's the way they saw themselves... But in the late 1960s, they really realized just how much power they had. Turning the American public against the Vietnam war, they saw that they had enough power to make the world's #1 superpower lose a war to a tiny, impoverished country. And later on, in Nixon, they saw that they could bring down an administration. We've seen it over and over in the years since, where the MSM supports the liberal or dem administrations, while actively working against conservative or republican administrations.

And we saw it come to a head with "Rathergate." Thank goodness for Buckhead and the others involved!

The MSM has seen that they can bring down an administration. Now, with Obama, they're trying to install their own administration.
