Interesting comment coming from someone who just posted "I suspect they want rid of the North Korea talking point before they invade a wealthy industrialised nation for (not probably maybe whocares) having nukes."
Yes, I believe there's a wider PR game going on with the express intention of selling a war to the people of the west.
You're suggesting the the PotUS had a Breibart bumped off for saying he'd release a video of him in college.0 -

His video[AB] or at least one of his videos on Obama has surfaced
maybe there is more?
He said he had videos this is just a video
Video at link from fox
http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/hannity/2012/03/08/exclusive-breitbartcom-unveils-unedited-video-obama-and-radical-professorPOLLAK: Well, the real background is that Barack Obama participated in his protest and in other events that there exists evidence of and this was hidden for a long time, not just by Charles Ogletree, but within the archive of WGBH, which refused even to respond when we ask for access to it. What's happening here is the protest, and it's not about faculty diversity on campus. This is about Derrick Bell who was going to take a voluntary unpaid leave of absence to protest a tenure decision and to make sure that there was more racial diversity on campus and so on.
But Derrick Bell was a radical, Derrick Bell was the Jeremiah Wright of academia. He had some crazy views. In fact, just two months before this speech was given, Derrick Bell gave a controversial speech in Chicago where he said that America remains a racist country and the civil rights movement essentially was a sham because white supremacy remains the system and we've got to transform that system radically in order to get rid of racism.
And so, those views were well known at the time. And this was not about diversity, which is a noble and good cause. This was about radical ideology, racial ideology. And when Barack Obama says, open your hearts and open your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell and calls him an inspiration and talks about his scholarship, he's talking about some very radical things -- so radical that later on, Derrick Bell got into serious trouble when he wrote an essay, a fictional story called "Space Traders," positing that Americans, white Americans would sell black Americans to space aliens in order to pay out the national debt and that Jews would stand by and let it happen. This is a kind of background Derrick Bell had.

http://whitehouse.blogs.cnn.com/2012/03/08/new-breitbart-video-sparks-debate/In the video, Obama asks a crowd to “open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Professor Derrick Bell.”
On Thursday morning Joel Pollack, Breitbart.com’s editor-in-chief, appeared on CNN’s Starting Point to defend the importance of the video.
“The bombshell is the revelation of the relationship between Obama and Derrick Bell,” Pollack said. “Derrick Bell is the Jeremiah Wright of academia. He passed away last year but during his lifetime he developed a theory called critical race theory, which holds that the Civil Rights movement was a sham and that White Supremacy is the order and it must be overthrown.”
This characterization of critical race theory sparked a feisty debate between Pollack and CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, who contended that it was a “complete misreading of critical race theory.”
While much of the video released Wednesday had appeared in a PBS Frontline documentary that aired just before the 2008 election, Breitbart’s version featured some additional commentary by Harvard professor Charles Ogletree.
“We hid this throughout the 2008 campaign,” Ogletree jokes to an audience after showing them the portion of the video that had aired on PBS. “I don’t care if they find it now.”
In the article that accompanies the video, Breitbart.com’s editor-at-large Ben Shapiro calls it a “smoking gun” and promises that more information on Bell’s activism will be released soon.
“This is just the beginning,” Shapiro writes. “And this video is a smoking gun showing that Barack Obama not only associated with radicals, he was their advocate.”0 -

I just want to say that I love the far left, ACORN, President Obama and his administration, and all they have done for everyone.
Far left?
Obama is to the right of the brit conservative party.
I'd love to see what americans would make of people like arthur scargill or michael foot.
Here's a relevant clip from Dr.Strangelove:
