I’d think the assassin was Jack Tatum except he passed away last summer

Seems like this event is slowly being dropped from the news cycle which is good.

This is the what..20th version, addendum to the story by the WH?

Always loved this story...when FDR was interviewed by the press after the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, he was asked where the planes came from. His reply.."Shangri-La"

I don't see anything new here at all. Besides, even if there were some new info, an official speaking on condition of anonymity is likely an administration hack trying to continue the spin (i.e. it was a big risk, therefore Obama is a hero).

Because Obama wants to milk it for all it's worth.

And also keep attention away from all the reports about his faked birth certificate. Maybe they'll go away.

They want you to think that he passed away last summer - it’s called Deep Coverage.

Tell me often enough, and loud enough, and long enough....and I might believe it.

Not.

Tell me once. Then tell me, I’ve already told you. If you are too stupid to remember, you should not have been told in the first place.
