&feature=player_embeddedIn a particularly sharp bit of political mudslinging, the Karl Rove-advised American Crossroads political action committee dreamt up a humorous way to dramatize President Obamas hot mic moment: recreate the incident as a James Bond thriller.
After Obama was caught last week on a hot mic speaking with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev saying that [a]fter my election I have more flexibility, conservatives latched onto the unguarded remark as a game-changing gaffe. Heres a sample soundbite from Mitt Romney: This is no time for our president to be pulling his punches with the American people. And not telling us what hes intending to do with regards to our missile defense system.

I stated plainly that he worked for a company that was a known CIA front company. I stated nothing further. There is nothing wrong with stating bald facts that are on record, and if you choose to infer something from such bald facts, go for it.
That's what discussions are all about - forming, arguing and discussing opinions. You are welcome to think I inferred something because I stated a known fact, but if you go back and read my comment, all I said was "Fact: A of B occurred."

(1,138 posts)I thought you were joking with the BIC. Sorry. But now thinking about it..Well it could explain a lot of the Birther conspiracy theories . Who but the CIA could pull them off? They could not occur due to a non-domestic operation. Maybe they are barking up the wrong tree.
He was born on Crab Key. His real Father is Dr. No! On the other hand.....
