Typical US political behavior. Communists = satan. If Obama likes a certain way of governing then that's his choice and the voters choice if he is elected. Also it's "ties" to communism. Obama isn't going to be the next Joseph Stalin or anything. And honestly; can we do any worse with a president we have now?
Obama is the Media's chosen one. They will not report anything detrimental about him unless they are forced into it by the modern media, i.e. talk-radio, the internet news and blogs, etc. Look at how long it took them to come out with the story about Rev. Jeremiah White. Weeks, if not months.
These accounts are getting more and more attention and sooner or later, the Lamestream Media will have to pay attention and report on it. But don't count on it being a truthful account. It will more likely be a whitewash trying to discount all the accusations as being about something in the past that no longer has any bearing on the issues or the election.
