And you think any of his other unearned accomplishments are exceptions? That is exactly how he became President. The media pushed him as a "Savior" relentlessly. People painted on his blank canvas what they wanted to see. And he Lied. A Lot.
We even find out his campaign faked the publicity that revived his dead campaign. "Obama Girl" was a hired actress which at the time was passed off as an adoring fan. The media deliberately viralized her video and single handedly revived Obama's *DEAD* campaign.
Why would anyone expect the liberal mainstream media not to push for who they wanted to win?
