Many people forget as they watch that the same media that edits and distorts Obama's words and idea, created and catapulted the IndieTeaPublicans to power and ignored them stealing our rights. But then, they are only diverting us to what their owners want us to focus on, demonizing our president and lauding those they want us to see:
