Yes a kneeslapper. If President Obama wasn't properly 'vetted' by the media, then the evidence for that would be that we have discovered significant details about him since he was elected president,
that could have been known beforehand, but weren't, because of inadequate investigation.
Now, if you'd like to prove you aren't full of shit,
tell us, specifically, what those things are.
so how many reporters descended on Chicago to dig up the past?
or how many foia acts were filed to get hold of his past official e mails and correspondence.....that would be a nice start...
So, you can't really answer the question either. With E V I D E N C E.
So, if I give you some E V I D E N C E, would you crawl back under the rock?

2. Hey, did you know about the Midwest Academy...and how Obama paid for it???
No???
Wow!
A Chicago nonprofit on which
President Obama served as paid director provided startup capital and later funding to Midwest Academy, an activist organization described as
teaching tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation,
The Woods Fund, a nonprofit on which Obama served as paid director from 1999 to December 2002, provided startup funding and later capital to the
Midwest Academy. WND first reported Obama sat on the Woods Fund board
alongside William Ayers, founder of the Weather Underground
domestic terrorist organization.
In 1999, Booths Midwest Academy received $75,000 from the Woods Fund. In 2002, with
Obama still serving on the Woods Fund, Midwest received another $23,500 for its Young Organizers Development Program. Midwest describes itself as one of the nations oldest and best-known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change. It later morphed into a national organizing institute for an emerging network of organizations known as Citizen Action.
Midwest teaches Alinsky tactics of community organizing. Discover the Networks describes Midwest as teach[ing] tactics of direct action, confrontation, and intimidation.

3. Did you know about his association with
Michael Klonsky?
No?
What a shock!
He is the co-founded (with William Ayers) a project known as the
"Small Schools Workshop," where teachers portrayed American capitalism as an economic system infested with racism, imperialism, and all manner of injustice.
Klonsky penned a document titled Toward a Revolutionary Youth Movement, wherein he quoted --
with admiration -- Chinese dictator Mao Zedong. This document called for the development of an organized class-conscious youth movement to engage in
revolutionary struggle to expose war, racism, the exploitation of labor, and the oppression of youth.

And...
When Barack Obama and William Ayers collaborated on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) education-reform project (where Obama chaired the board that oversaw funding decisions), CAC
gave SSW a series of grants totaling $1,056,162. The Joyce Foundation and the Woods Fund of Chicago,
on whose boards Obama also sat, gave SSW another $912,556.
In a 2001 interview with the Chicago Tribune,
Klonsky candidly revealed that he and Ayers were still pursuing the same radical agendas they had advocated in their younger days. "Weve learned how to work within the system," Klonsky said.
Klonsky was given the privilege of running a blog on the Obama campaigns official website. The blog focused, as Klonsky put it, on education politics and teaching for social justice.

BTW, did you know that killer
Jared Loughner had attended the SSW schools? If the killer had been a Mormon, or a right-winger, you think the Old Left Media would have reported same?
Ya think?
What a shock!!

Barack obama, Bill Ayers, Michael Klonsky and Jared Loughner?"

4. Did you know that
candidate Obama campaigned for socialist-Marxist Odinga in Africa????No????
Wow!
"Should
Obamas cousin, Raila Odinga, the leader of Kenyas violent Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), a
Marxist and Socialist political party with strong
Islamic fundamentalist leaning be permitted to enter the U.S. to attend Obamas inauguration?
Should Obama?s cousin, Raila Odinga, the leader of Kenya?s violent Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), a Marxist and Socialist political party with strong Islamic fundamentalist leaning be permitted to enter the U.S. to attend Obama?s inauguration?
However, the underlying (more important issues) are verifiably true. In August and September 2006,
Senator Barack Obama traveled to South Africa, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Chad and Kenya as a congressional delegation of one (Codel Obama) (Codel Obama The Hill 9/7/2006) While in Kenya, Obama consistently appeared at the side of fellow Luo Raila Odinga (your agent for change), who was running for President. (Senator Rebukes Kenyas Corruption Chicago Sun Times 8/29/2006) Loud and Populist, But No Political Outsider The Guardian 12/29/2007)
Obamas partisan support for Odinga was considered so transparent, that the Kenyan Government spokesman, Alfred Matua, complained of political posturing to aid Odingas election chances: It is very clear that
the senator has been used as a puppet to perpetuate opposition politics,"(Walking The World Stage Newsweek 9/11/06) And, ...we earlier thought he was mature in his assessment of Kenyan and African politics, Mutua told AFP. (...)
