(Newser) – Newspapers failing? Blame it on Obama. CNN in trouble? Obama’s fault. Swine flu? Yep, the president caused that, too, Rush Limbaugh said yesterday on his radio show, the Huffington Post reports. “Everywhere Obama is spreading Obamaism, there is a deadly disease taking place, either in the TARP community or in the newspaper business,” he said. “Obama goes to Mexico—they have an earthquake. Obama goes to Mexico—get pig flu.”

Yes, NEWSER's subtle editorial revision of its original headline made all the difference in terms of traffic to this story (what's the technical term for the content displayed in each of the Newser "squares?) And the ensuing debate resulted in some interesting admissions by the usual far right trolls and Rushbo apologists!) Can't wait to check the other story on the Gun Groups' displeasure with the Doughboy Demagogue.
