Speaking of distractions, JDB, why is dumars (and the rest of the "it's not my fault" left) bringing up articles that are two and a half years old? Mr Obama now has a record of performance. Let's judge him on what he has done with the economy, the budget and the deficits.

Until it is acknowledged that the past affects the present and future, until it is acknowledged the mine field for our present economic condition were put in place long before Mr. Obama took office, no judgement can be rendered.
There is a virtual avalanche of misinformation out there directed squarely at Mr. Obama delivered by News associations of all kinds and delivered straight to email inboxes. Apparently, none of it has to be proven or even rationalized, no matter how outrageous, it is accepted as "truth".
This is not "politics as usual". There is no precedent for this nuclear attack.
