The information was available, but the media wanted to make sure the dimrats won in ‘08.
The long term effects of this will be disasterous.
Clinton set the precedent that a sitting dimrat president can lie to a grand jury and still remain in office.
obama is setting the precendent that a candidate can run for and win the office of President with all his background hidden from the Amerian public. Whether he is a NBC or not, whether he is a convicted criminal or not, or whatever his past is, the media has proved that they can sneak a person into the White House with no knowledge of who he is and what he is capable of.
Questions still remain as to whether obama is legally qualified, but the fact is that obama is the de facto sitting president with all the powers that go with the position.

On the contrary, the ^media^ wanted to make sure ^their^ choice won in 08. That the media is 100% Dhimmicrat is not totally unconnected, though.
