The "best we can come up with" involves the economy, jobs, complete economic illiteracy, and an administration who tried to convert this country into Europe, and almost made it.

How many more "shiny objects" can Axelrod come up with?

This particular "Kenya" bit was a direct response from Breitbart.com to the idiotic high-school incident flap. Breitbart decided after that to start doing the "vetting" the mainstream media never did, to make a point. It took them a few days to find that item. If a Republican had pulled that "born in Kenya" thing, it would have been front page news in the Washington Post.

As far as the media was concerned in 2008, Obama's past was of no importance while Republicans? They needed microscopic examination. It hasn't been forgotten what they did to Palin, either.

The media still feels that way in this election cycle, assigning squads of reporters to interview Romney's classmates. Let me know when they start poking around Obama's classmates. Or print anything that might keep him from being re-elected.
