As I blogged during the last US Presidential elections, the US media (an indeed other countries media) were singularly uninterested in Barack Obama's back history and just didn't ask of him the questions that they demanded answers to of Republican candidates.

Here's a few, do go and read them all:
'In 2010 you said Solyndra, which gave your campaign a lot of money, was “leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future.” Today, Solyndra is bankrupt and the taxpayers lost $500 million on loans that your administration was well aware might never be paid off when you made them.

So, aren’t you exactly the sort of politician that Occupy Wall Street wants to get rid of?'
