CNN changes story removes mention of Obama and golf clubs...

So...what gives CNN? If they made an error they should note it but when you start reading the comments on Obama reacts to Clinton speech the post now states:

Obama watched Clinton's speech over the Internet on a computer, a campaign aide said. He put in a call to Clinton afterward, but was told by a Clinton assistant that she was speaking with supporters.
In the final minutes of the speech, a top Obama strategist was pleased with the message, saying there was “no ambiguity” about her support for the presumptive Democratic nominee.

The strategist characterized the speech as “very generous” and said that he “appreciates it’s hard.”

Obama watched the speech over the Internet, a campaign aide said. He put in a call to Clinton afterward but was told by a Clinton assistant that she was speaking with supporters.

Earlier it stated as you learn from reading the comments:
"He was seen shortly before the speech leaving his home in Chicago with golf clubs, it is unclear whether Senator Obama watched the speech."

If it was true they should have left it - if it was false they should have acknowledged it. Reporting like this creates even more problems than we already have.

And...CNN closed comments on the thread. Sloppy work CNN...
