Obama mistakes look like successes!

Did the Obama campaign intentionally leak the story of the background conversation between the Canadian Consul and Obama's economist? It certainly made it much easier for center-right people to accept that Obama's statist socialist rhetoric was just a diverting pop song to keep the kids interested rather than a wave of change that would sweep and cleanse the nation... But wouldn't it be nice if the leaked story about the Consular interview was classic disinformation, to help Obama's progressive candidacy sneak into the white house?
