Marc Cooper, the editor of the Off the Bus project for which Mayhill Fowler, an Obama donor who taped and wrote about Obama’s San Francisco remarks, has an interesting rumination on the affair, including the misgivings that wound up burying the comments in Fowler’s broader discussion of Obama.

"It wasn’t easy for her to write a piece that she knew, while truthful and accurate, would nevertheless be used by his political opponents," he writes.

ALSO: Whether video of the event surfaces is going to have a real impact on how much this story hurts Obama, and Cooper suggests it may:

"Let it also be noted that there were approx 100 videocams whirring away inside the room as Barack spoke," he writes.
