My only conclusion is that they've got to do a certain number of negative Obama/Democrat pieces to "balance" what I'm sure is a potential tsunami of negative GOP pieces and, while I'm sure the neither side has their hands completely clean when it comes to telling the unvarnished and absolute truth, it feels like they have to s--t--r--e--t--c-h, contort, and twist a lot of things to arrive at a negative ruling for Obama/Democrats. The fact of the matter is that Democrats just don't say as much dumb/false stuff as Republicans IMHO (or at least they keep it to themselves and don't actually say it out loud where the media circus could pick up on it).
