“News” broke on 5/1/2010 that there may be a scandal in the White House! Now, because of the source of this information, we may want to take it with a grain of salt, but the Enquirer has been responsible for some very big stories in the past. I think it is worth looking at the information presented by them. And promptly stomping them for bad reporting and complete lack of verification of any of the data presented.
To recap what they stated, the affair, if it occurred, happened in 2004 well before Obama’s election to the White House. A fine lady named Vera Baker has repeatedly denied that anything happened, but there is a limo driver that asserts that he dropped Baker off at a hotel to have a “secret hotel rendezvous in a Washington hotel where Obama was staying”.
All of this is overshadowed by the fact that the people doing the investigation are trying to pay for information. While this payola style of information gathering is not uncommon in investigative journalism, it does cast some serious doubt on the information that has been obtained to this point.
Another issue I have with this limited report is that any verification of the data that is presented is simply stated as fact. No information on the reporter that claims to be able to corroborate the drivers information is presented, nor is any further information as to the source of the information.
While many of you know that I am a huge critic of the President and most especially his policies, and most of you likely know how badly I would like this information to be true, I am also a good and truthful man. What it comes down to is that the Enquirer was wrong to post this story before they actually had any proof of wrongdoing. The evidence presented is skimpy at best. In short, it smells like a hatchet job at this point.
Hey, at least you know I am fair. Oh yeah, and sorry about the image… I couldn’t resist getting in a little slam on the President.
“What it comes down to is that the Enquirer was wrong to post this story before they actually had any proof of wrongdoing.”
Thing you need to realize, is that liberals don’t NEED to wait until they have any proof of wrongdoing before they vilify their intended target(s).
Need I remind you of the “Cold-blooded murderers” comment made by the late Sen. Jack Murtha about the Marines involved in the so-called “Haditha Massacre. Hell, the man couldn’t even be bothered to recant his statement and apologize to the Marines after they were exonerated of the charges.
And let’s not overlook the charges of xenophobia and racism that absolutely INFESTS all corners of the Tea-Party movement, despite glaring evidence to the contrary.
No, the left doesn’t care about facts, they just care about trying to stick it to someone else for any type of gain, be it political, monetary, or personal.
