I believe this was all known about 3 months ago, before the election.

Is it news that the Admiral is going public with it? Or is that 3 months old also?

What's new here? Obama was reelected (well, re-selected) with this story already out in the public. But maybe without it he would have actually won the election; at least this revelation made them sweat and cheat transparently. That surely weakens Obama's position as President / Dictator / whatever he is.
