Do you wonder why we need to look at extremely biased sites that are outside the mainstream news in order to find all this (false) negativity about Obama? I like Jack Webb...."Just the facts, ma'am" (or sir). 
You see, I get suspicious when all the anti-Obama sources are unconventional and biased sites. I figure if one keeps searching & reading these sites, he/she will always feed his/her mind and emotions with this info. I try to look at the facts and results before forming solid opinions.
There could be various filters of the mind that partially block the truth; some being emotions and prejudices. Basically, most people are ruled by their emotions. What's important to me when doing research is:
- Is the source reliable, just reporting the facts rather than mainly opinions?
- Have I compared this info to other sources such as mainstream news, Factcheck, Truth or Fiction, and Snopes?
- Are my opinions just based on dislike (my emotions), or based on results and accomplishments of the subject in question?
