The guy is Black and he's a Democrat. He's also wildly popular and a candidate for the next presidential election. So naturally, Fox News Channel (who are the Republican spinning machine) are trying to blacken the man as much as possible.
They tried revealing that his middle name is Hussein. Didn't work.
They tried revealing that he smokes, but not in public. Didn't work.
So now they're even more desperate than before and they're coming up with this kind of crap. Basically they were trying to imply that he was brain-washed when he was a kid in an Islamic elementary school.
It didn't work either, and Fox News was laughed at by everybody, and now Obama is giving them the cold shoulder, and they're whining to get interviews from him. And the vice-president of Fox News also wrote a memo to tell his employees that just because they read something on the Internet doesn't mean it's true.
