Faux Gibson's Chapter Three in 'Welcome to the Big Leagues, Mr. Obama'



Chapter Three in 'Welcome to the Big Leagues, Mr. Obama'


http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,255533,00.html



Things are getting rough on Mr. Obama. Today the British newspaper the Daily Mail did some checking on what Obama said in his book about his father, Barack Obama Sr., and it was not pretty.

While the junior senator from Illinois portrayed his father's life as an inspiration to his son, the Daily Mail exposed a different Barack Obama Sr.: a wife-beating alcoholic who didn't bother to get a divorce before marrying the next woman and having a few more kids.

Now the Daily Mail story looks well researched and it certainly did send reporters to interview principals, like the senior Obama's ex-wives, and they did dig up eyewitnesses to the senior Obama's personal faults. But you never know. There are people in the world of politics who want to do harm to Senator Obama, and tripping him up on the truth certainly would not do him any good.

2. It's prolly the only way he'd get any.

3. That doesn't mean he WASN'T an inspiration to Obama

And let's hope Gibson will be equally fair and balanced when the time comes to discuss the marriages of Newt Gingrich and Rudy Guiliani. And you'd think they'd be a LOT more tolerant of alcoholics. Why don't you just wait until the article comes out, John?

4. "Shorter" John Gibson
Barack Obama didn't throw his father under the bus, so we will.

John Gibson looks like an albino Gumby.

5. Fox seems to be trying way too hard these days.
They really ought to go back to branding Democrats as terrorists. Their current line is just sad.
