Before going on...
Could it be, perhaps, that your own love for Obama clouds your objective judgement?
In another thread, you said you'd take a bullet for the guy. Since that's the kind of thing people usually only feel about family members, it makes me question your objectivity in this particular case.
To me, you seem similar to a loving parent who can't find a single flaw in his child.

the local, state, and federal levels.
The APPC accepts NO funding from business corporations, labor unions,
political parties, lobbying organizations or individuals. It is funded
primarily by the Annenberg Foundation.
It sounds nice enough, but the problem is it's funding couldn't come

Please feel free to advise those media outlets that refer to this
group as non-partisan that they are funded by a foundation created by
a man that gave $5000 to the California Republican Party in 2000. Now
the foundation which funds this non-partisan organization is run by
his Leonore Annenberg, who is worth $2 billion - but she can't spare a
Democrat a dime.

If you want to criticize the project, criticize it on its merits. Find flaws in the articles, numbers on articles critical of each candidate, etc.
