What makes you think that these records for Obama have gone missing?
Second.
Breitbart edited a tape to make Shirley Sherrod seem like a racist, and that got her fired.

Now Ayers is a pretty respectable person, high in academic circles if I'm not mistaken.

Maybe you prefer focusing on irrelevance?
ABC News published a story on its site that serves as an excellent example of how easy it is to spread misinformation. The story, titled ”What To Do If Vaccines Worry You,” was written by a reporter at Rodale named Emily Main. Main’s piece is, on the whole^, an impressive example of a reporter stressing that parents should rely on facts when they make decisions about their children’s health.
It’s also well over two-years-old. That’s right: Main’s story initially ran in June, 2009. ABC, which syndicates some content from Rodale, apparently was looking for a story that could pivot off of the Bachmann imbroglio and used Main’s story to fill that hole. That might have gone unnoticed were it not for science writer Liza Gross, whose May 2009 PLoS Biology piece “A Broken Trust,” is quoted several times in Main’s story.
The result is a number of mistakes, which Gross details here (scroll down to the third comment, which begins, “This story has multiple errors”): Link
please stop having this imaginary argument with me about Obama, I don't support him.

No I was not for the bailouts but I was also scared of economic collapse in the US. The stimulus package sounded good at the time, create jobs etc...but it turned out just as corrupt as anything else in government, with a bunch of already millionaires and billionaires walking away with more millions and billions. In other words the money went up.

The White House should have investigated for more than 30 seconds.
“I don’t think Barack Obama wanted the Shirley Sherrod narrative and Pigford in the news,”
The Pigford II settlement — which offers $50,000 to those black farmers who say they were discriminated against by the government —
“sold in the black churches as reparations and sold at reparations conventions by the proponents of it as reparations.”tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com... gford.php
When the Sherrod story came out, Breitbart said he “had never heard of Pigford, and I have the Nation editor saying that I am to blame for the money being pulled out, and I have Lawrence O’Donnell warning that the money is going to be pulled out the same week as Sherrod.”
“I’m the one that’s being told that it’s Pigford by the progressive media, so when I do basic investigation and find out Ms. Sherrod’s monumental conflict of interest of working for the Pigford monitor when she’s now overseeing the Pigford distributions and who gets them and who doesn’t,” Breitbart said.
“I don’t doubt — I have zero doubt — that many of these local offices of the USDA are rancid racists who treated the black farmers wrong, and that the black farmers themselves should have not just gotten their land back or kept their farms, I think that they should have made millions of dollars each if they could prove that they were discriminated against,” Breitbart said. “But they weren’t just screwed over by the USDA, they were screwed over by Pigford” and the lawyer who made it into a class-action lawsuit.

What is respectable about a man who killed innocent people and has no remorse or regret,
and only wishes he had done more?
That makes Ayers worse than death row murderers.

Now thats funny.
Every mainstream news outlet posts crap all day long,
and you know it.
What a crock.
Every mainstream news outlet runs irrelevant crap all day and night. They smear, fear monger and outright lie.
Well, its about time you woke up. How long did it take you? I doubt you would have ever supported him, if it was not for the crafty lies day and night '24/7 put on my the mainstream news channels that framed him as Hope and Change, and you bouught into it.
Or would you blame it on PTSD from Occupy?

So you're trading one set of lies for another and think that puts you at an intellectual advantage?
