Throughout this campaign one of Barack Obama’s greatest challenges has been to convince Americans that he is not a scary guy. He has had to fight off smears that have painted him as a non-flag pin wearing, wild-eyed Muslim. Obama even had to launch a Fight the Smears website just to address baseless emails, lies and [...]
