That's what happens when you select a president based on a cult of personality combined with a practice of labeling critics as "racists". If the president were still GWB when all this stuff came to light there would be a constant drum beat of news coverage rolling into the next congressional and presidential elections where it would have a huge impact. Instead it'll take months and months of hedging around with the idea that maybe, kinda, sorta, perhaps Obama isn't the second coming and is actually responsible for instituting or retaining a lot of horrible government policies.
