Read the thread. Obama was dug into many times.

Carson has no political accomplishments; he is running on his biography. So it is his biography they will investigate because there is LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE.

Not how many times he missed a vote; or voted 'present' or got a bill passed. . .

We have nothing but his words.

So interviewing his 3rd grade teacher is nothing? The media also went through Obama's first book to verify the stories, ie the very same thing they are doing with Dr. Carson's book.

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.
“He doesn’t remember the names of a lot of people in his life,” said Ben LaBolt, a campaign spokesman.

Barack Obama does not say much about his years in New York City. The time he spent as an undergraduate at Columbia College and then working in Manhattan in the early 1980s surfaces only fleetingly in his memoir.

He takes a job in an unidentified “consulting house to multinational corporations,”

He barely mentions Columbia, training ground for the elite,

In an interview, Mr. Armstrong added: “There may be some truth to that. But in order to make it a good story, it required a bit of exaggeration.”

In a long profile of Mr. Obama in a Columbia alumni magazine in 2005, in which his Columbia years occupied just two paragraphs, he called that time “an intense period of study.”


There is more but you get the point. NOT.

My one and only issue with regard to the media and Obama is the LA Times cover up and refusal to release a video of Barack Obama attending a party with Rashid Khalidi. It has nothing to do with Obama and more to do with the LA Times.

The point is the media did research Obama's past and there are people at Columbia who remember him being there, which pretty much debunks the notion that the media did not research his past, or ignored his past. You may not like his past or think he wasn't a very remarkable student while at Columbia, but the media did research and publish what they found.

Trump sends investigators to Hawaii to look into Obama – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
That is what I call the best job in the world, who wouldn't want to be on the beaches in Hawaii while lying to Trump the Birther than you have some serious leads about Obama's birth certificate. I am sure that bozo is still paying these investigators.

He has been in office for 8 years. There is no record of him ever getting together with anybody from his graduating class or any of his professors. He has zero friends form his college days. The best you could come up with was ONE guy that was briefly found in 2007 and was never interviewed on programs that people actually watch. I am sorry, some vague British paper doesn’t count. Daily Telegraph is not on anybody's reading list.

The problem with Ben Carson is that he's bragged about two attempted homicides.

Actually not. His biggest whopper was that a belt buckle stopped a knife. Belt buckle?
