The Associated Press has probed Barack Obama’s earmarking activities in the Illinois state senate and discovered two grants that put state money in the hands of Michelle Obama’s cousin.

What's with the media paying attention now? If they had done their job during the primary maybe Clinton would be the nominee.
Maybe Hillary has tipped the wink to the PUMA brigade, I see her hand in this more than I see the members of the media attempting to do their jobs.
How could she get the media to do her bidding now when she couldn't get them to do it in the primary?
LOL. You have spotted the flaw in my theory, I just couldn't think of another reason for AP to have published this given they have been one of the most biased of the media organisations.
