Camile Paglia sure missed an awfully lot about Obama.

"In the closing weeks of the election, however, I became increasingly disturbed by the mainstream media's avoidance of forthright dealing with several controversies that had been dogging Obama -- even as every flimsy rumor about Sarah Palin was being trumpeted as if it were engraved in stone on Mount Sinai. For example, I had thought for many months that the flap over Obama's birth certificate was a tempest in a teapot. But simple questions about the certificate were never resolved to my satisfaction. [...]

Another issue that I initially dismissed was the flap over William Ayers, the Chicago-based former member of the violent Weather Underground. Conservative radio host Sean Hannity began the drumbeat about Ayers' association with Obama a year ago -- a theme that most of the mainstream media refused to investigate or even report until this summer. [...] "

Of course, no one wanted to touch the birth certificate questions. How could anyone dare question the O. After all he wrote two books not factual about his life.

It got touched but too late----------William Ayers and the Weather Underground were the sheep in lions clothing in this campaign--------but because Ayers was the son of a Consolidated Edison Executive-------he got off scott free.

Of Course, Consolidated Edison was a part of the power structure of that period of time. As the wandering drugged up children wandered the USA---- these bombings were just temper tantrums. Some tantrum------bombing your own country.
