Publicist Coup

So, a well-known anti-Obama academic with a best selling book digging into some of the less savory associations of the Messiah heads to the Land of His Father to do a bit of background research. He is welcomed by the progressive nation seeking tourist dollars, an improving economy and a bright spot on the world stage. He is welcomed, as the item notes, by high ranking Kenyan officials. Then he schedules a press conference to discuss his findings.

That's when the Thought Police snatch him up for no disclosed reason and the modern attractive hotel issues a press release indicating that they don't support free expression in either their establishment or their country.

Just a Little Local Spin

How do either the hotel or the Kenyan immigration folks know what Dr. Corsi was going to say? How can they characterize his yet-unstated findings as a "smear campaign?" What do they have to worry about?

And, maybe most importantly, as Red Riding Hood said to the wolf, "My, what long arms you have, Sen. Obama."

The better to do what?

Imagine the same thing occurring in the US. If they can do it globally, they certainly would have the ability to do it locally, wouldn't they?
