Actually it is embarassing that anyone would jump out and blame this on some Republickin conspiracy to screw with Obama. It had nothing to do with the repubs. But people have become so rabid in their interpretation of the news they automatically assume the worse and lay blame at the foot of those they oppose. In the end only embarassing themselves.
"The Democrat campaign has implied that the story might have come from Republican sources – “the American people are ... pretty suspicious of things that are dumped in the marketplace 72 hours before a campaign,” said Mr Obama’s chief strategist David Axelrod yesterday.
In fact, the story came from a book that has been read by millions, including just about everyone connected to the Obama campaign.
Dreams From My Father was first published in 1995, and the story of how Mr Obama returned to Kenya in 1988 to trace his roots has become the cornerstone of his political biography. Yet the US media appears to have overlooked the passage indicating that at least one relative of Mr Obama’s had moved to America and might still be there. "
