Obama is giving them unprecented access into his everyday life. If he agreed to that I couldn't imagine he has too much to hide.

This is my favorite part:

Did the CIA use Barack Obama as an operative during the late 1970s and early 80s due to the fact that he knew the language of those in the middle of wars involving the USSR, as well as those engaged in terrorism against the United States, in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan? Did he discover something during those years that he is now holding over the heads of certain persons in the U.S. government?

Late 70s? In his late teens? I didn't know the CIA hired them that young.

There have been lots of things we didn't know about lots of presidents: FDR's wheelchair, JFK's Addison's disease and his womanizing, etc, etc, etc.

Then don't offer so much openness into Obama's life. You can't have it both ways.

There was a time when reporters would report relevant facts and leave out personal tidbits. Part of it was respect, part of it was acknowledging a right to privacy, part of it was to keep things on topic. We don't value those things anymore, and they doesn't sell newspapers or earn high ratings.

I have to believe you are correct. Even if there was some "deal", of course someone would break it if they had something that could make them a superstar in some capacity. Sounds pretty bogus. Why would any President make such a deal when it would be much easier for them to restrict access due to security reasons.

I'll give the writer a little bit of credit. It almost seemed like a credible piece of journalism for a few paragraphs before it entered the Twilight Zone.

Deplorable!

WHAT country are we now?
It sure isn't America anymore when you read crap like this!

ADIOS to FREE speech and FREE press now.

It's OBVIOUS there is something being kept classified from the American people.....and whatever it truly is........it CAN'T be good for the US.

And I thought the Bush administration was so secretive.

THIS takes the cake and is just one of many other things that might make one believe some form of HELL is coming for US and perhaps, many others before BO's first term is over?

I REALLY hope I'm wrong, but something sure ain't right in the grand scheme of things for this nation, under THIS administration, more so than ANY previous one, IMO.

And "they" wonder why there is so much animosity, anger and fear gripping so many lives, thesedays?
Or they truly believe it's just the Tea Party people who are so freaked out by such an UN-American agenda!

The people are not as stupid as they wish and IMO.......this administration will leave an INFAMOUSLY historic legacy for the history books to censor.....or omit altogether, if possible.

Any journalist who favors this.......is NO journalist, just another victim of this administration's bribes and intimidation.

Either way, it IS as unconstitutional as it can get when the WH is telling reporters what they can and cannot report on......when it comes to the history of OUR nation's current, lame excuse for a so-called, leader!

WELCOME HOME to the USSR.......formerly, known as the USA........which WAS a free nation with a Constitution GUARANTEEING our freedom, until now.
