I confess to being a lurker for some time now.
But yes -- that article pushed me over. The extent of the manipulation of any given story is very frustrating. The man is a politician. His halo was not placed upon his brow by a benevolent god, but rather photoshopped on by his more, um, fervent supporters. Still and all, he's what we've got, and he's for sure better than we've had in a looooong time. So maybe we can all breathe for a moment, get the story straight, and then if some reasonable outrage is still indicated, go to. But this? A red herring.
