Anyone who has followed politics for any time knows how ridiculous that notion is. But being ridiculous isn't a line the media is afraid to cross in protecting Obama. From all but the founding of America up until the election of Barack Obama, presidents have always been fair game. 1 Sep 2012 Court to Replace Second Judge in Zimmerman Trial Circuit Judge Lester, who will now step down from hearing the case, offered a stinging rebuke of Zimmerman in a July bond ruling.
