Obama was not vetted. The MSM said nothing about his background or did any searching whatsoever. Those who read FR knew that stuff, but not people who get their info [sic] from the MSM. Even a lot of “conservative” talk radio didn’t touch the real dirt. Why do you make up stuff?

I didn't make anything up. Obama's background was in the mainstream media for all to see. People knew about Wright's extremist views and knew how long Obama had been in his congregation. But when he "resigned" the media and most voters just shrugged and supported him anyway.

The connection between Ayers and Obama was common knowledge in Chicago for years and hit the U.S. MSM. The New York Times wrote an editorial minimizing it and people shrugged and voted for him anyway.

It was out there.
