Tim just as an observation, but why are you so seeming ready to pounce and ridicule any comment made about the Obamas that may cast them in a bad light?

That's possible, yes, but it isn't likely. I already know that the Obamas are human. I already despise Obama's voting record on abortion. I already disagree with the assumptions of the stimulus package, though I understand that 99% of Americans share them with him. I already know that he doesn't have the Queen's refinement and that he's not a redneck, either.
But your point is tragic, not because my reaction to bigotry might bias me against believing whatever truth might lie behind any given slander that drools, but because it is bigotry. Bigotry serves no side of any disagreement.

Conflict of interest? Should he have remained silent because of his self proclaimed title as cheif of sinners? I think not.

Fair enough, Brian. Then take the high road, not the road of self-serving bigotry. Not you particularly; anyone, including Paul and Mother Mary.

and my custom is to fall asleep to whatever is airing on NPR.
