Is Obama a conspiracy theorist?
The left constantly calls Glenn a conspiracy theorist because he has shown how the left launders money through front groups like Tides, Open Society, etc. But now the President has turned around and questioned the group Americans for Prosperity because you just don't know who they really are.

Obama losing Hispanic vote
Obama's poll numbers have been hitting new lows (41%), but what the mainstream media is failing to report is that there is one area where the President is falling that he just can't afford to: Hispanics.
