and now, seems to be abandoned by all, supposedly for the infantile reason that he couldn’t make all of Bush’s errors disappear in a day.”

An almost perfect rendering of the Straw Man Fallacy.

It was another of those “too good to check” things. Like the fake story claiming that Bush had the lowest IQ among recent Presidents that every newspaper gleefully grabbed and ran with several years ago.

The strange thing about the Ellie Light thing is that another one of my friends, a liberal, is swearing up and down that the MSM has become conservative because they are not killing every anti-Obama story out there. To him, it’s simply not enough that they support the President by slanting news his way when they can — they must actively promote his policies at every chance and they must never give his detractors any ink at all.

Then they would be “balanced”.

Is there any “firm” idea who is the author of the letters?

I've written a bunch of letters to newspapers and had only a couple published. I can't imagine writing the same letter to 68 or more and getting them all published.

A person with the name of “Ellie Light” has been successfully published with the same letter in at least 68 newspapers defending President Obama – defrauding the editors by using local addresses.

Yeah right? Defrauding the editors! That's the ticket! An Obamaite sent out 68 letters to 68 newspapers that included local residency addresses and got published in the 68 newspapers? And I want to buy the GS bridge!!!!! Maybe, just maybe, the 68 editors might have been involved with the writing of these letters of opinion by Ms Light??????

I wrote my liberal paper every day for about a year and they called every day to make sure that I was the one who wrote it (years ago) and NEVER printed one of my letters.

Tho the lady who would call every day finally said, please keep writing they are great letters.

go figure.

Democrats will fall for anything because they are just STUPID. It makes one wonder how much inbreeding really takes place within that group.
