#1 which only recently has been rediscovered

Amazing. If it had been Sarah Palin's daughter's grocery shopping list it would have long since been dissected in every MSM outlet in the country.

#2 Shows some really shallow thinking and inability to blame the Soviets for the cold war "suit the military-industrial interests".

I'm amazed the left couldn't see the crushing of the Czechs, and Hungarians for what it was. They still can't look at Cuba and Iran and see clearly.

They can see, they're just on the other side.

The Honduras situation bears some eerie resemblance to Czechoslovakia in 1948 and if things escalate maybe to Hungary in 1956.

This time however it looks like the US under Obama, together with Cuba and Venezuela might play the role of the Soviet Union.

#4 I don't understand why these kinds of things weren't combed out a long time agao. For example, it shouldn't be difficult to find if he ever made Dean's list at one of his several schools. He was editor of the Harvard Revue, wrote for the Columbia achool paper and a host of other things. Surely, there are his fingerprints left publically available in numerous places. Why haven't they been uncovered?

#5 They probably were, Richard, but they didn't "fit the narrative". That doesn't mean the info has been forgotten, though, and couldn't be brought out at another time that may be convenient for them if they feel sufficiently betrayed by their creation. Just sayin'.

#6 The fact that there isn't _anything_ there which 'fits the narrative' of what OBambi is - is itself telling don't you think.

If there was anything significant there the MSM would have trotted it out long ago to show what a great guy their idol is.

More likely the MSM decided not to even look (by choice). Contrast the batallion of lawyers and reports who descented on Alaska with the complete lack of information on Obama. Shopping list is right.

#7 THe leftist media does not want to look - they are afraid of what they may find. It pisses me off while guys like me were taking years out in service of the nation, winning the cold war and fighting in the little unpublished wars, this little mindless prick was working for the other side - and is now CINC.
