FWIW...WGBH got out in front of this this afternoon saying that they had shown this video in their Frontline special prior to the 2008 election. So they are on record saying so.
I pulled the episode from 2008 on YouTube and they show a very small portion of the tape with announcer voiceover. They do not show the entire tape nor do they carry any of Obama’s comments. The segment is intercut with several vo’s by other members of the Law Review, both left and right.
I didn’t think this, at first glance, was a big deal. But...Breitbart also had the tape of Ogletree admitting they had hidden the tape prior to the 2008 election.
I’m guessing there is a lot more and Breitbart.com is going to maintain the same strategy they used with the Acorn tapes. Let the media go on record and then drop another piece of video and let the media twist in the wind.
Gosh, remember the day when our presidents had such wonderful credentials — many DID go to Ivy Leagues, but were on debate teams, football teams — or were West Pointers, or war veterans of some kind.
We used to elect real MEN.
I guess this could be a reflection of the fact that we don’t have a lot of real men left in society at this time, save for a few.
It was a puff piece uploaded Oct 27, 2008: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5m6YFBcixo&t=48
It includes part of Obama's introduction of Derrick Bell, including the hug that Charles Ogletree chuckled about having buried before the election.
I wish they had similar tape from Eric Holder’s college days.
