    Not everything is an interesting conspriacy. Just like Bill Clinton Didn't Murder Vince Foster

    Obama had a little bit of a relationship with a guy who later turned out to be involved in illegal activity. YES it would be really, really interesting if we could turn this into a John Grisham legal thrilled full of wild plot twists and murders -- but it's not that interesting. Obama is not a made-man working for the mafia. He's a dude who happened to work with someone who was involved in fraud. I think the mainstream media is made up of wannabe fiction writers as opposed to journalists. Not everything is THAT intersting. Sometimes shit is actually boring and routine.
