They obviously did not smear nor crush Obama, since he went on to be Senator.

No, you have the wrong take about that. Obama made rookie mistakes that he learned from.

The fact is he DOES live in the district. It's an insult that anyone would claim he doesn't.

She created this "scandal." Ironically, she could easily sue to have him off the ballot.
