Oct 2007.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/30/us.../30obama.html?

One person who did remember Mr. Obama was Michael L. Baron, who taught a senior seminar on international politics and American policy. Mr. Baron, now president of an electronics company in Florida, said he was Mr. Obama’s adviser on the senior thesis for that course. Mr. Baron, who later wrote Mr. Obama a recommendation for Harvard Law School, gave him an A in the course.

The point is the media is calling Dr Carson a liar, but accepted or ingnored everything that Barry said about his past.

Much of what Obama has said has been backed up by people that were there at the time, not so much for Carsons tales.

Dr. Carson and the other Republicans have clearly set a new standard in complaining about the research that the media did and will perform when covering presidential candidates.

I want to hear from the hiring managers from those "high paying jobs" that Michelle said he turned down to go into public service.

It is just not the case that the media "ignored everything that Barry said about his past". Obama was not even close to being the front runner and the media was fact checking his books, interviewing people who knew him throughout his life.

Yes it is called equal treatment. When will the mainstream media start interviewing the woman that Hillary threatened that Bill raped or sexually assaulted?

If the media could find things to back up what Carson is claiming then they wouldn't question his honesty. At best, he's embellishing his life story and his life story is all he has and claims he needs to be a good president. Obama's life story wasn't ignored. He was given the same vetting but they didn't find any smoke to fan into a blame. And God knows they tried.

What are you talking about? She got her 15 minutes of fame. She didn't have anything to back up the story.

Dr. Carson and several other Republicans are claiming that the type of research the media is performing on their pasts was not done with Obama, which is clearly and demonstrably false, or in the lexicon of Republicans a lie.

It has been emphasized over and over the mainstream media. The alphabet networks and their affiliates, NYT, CNN, etc. The ones the larger public has access to or actually sees.
Not conservative sources, not overseas or foreign sources.
So no, it is not a lie.
