Just to be thorough, who found out it wasn't there for 90 minutes? I don't remember seeing it at first and it was those in the comment section of
the article that gave it away to me that it was a hoax.
Unfortunately, I don't have a cache or screen-shot of the original posting... but when I first read it at about 9AM, my first reaction was, "this
can't be real." So I scoured the page looking for some kind of "this is the interview we need" indication... and there was none. I even focused on
the bottom of the article, knowing such a disclaimer would be in that area. I also started searching for some other indication, and couldn't find
any.
Several members indicated they kept the original page open, and there was no bottom-note from Charlie Sheen... approximately 90 minutes later, reports
of it's appearance surfaced.
As of 30 minutes ago, the page was not yet in the Google Cache.
The opening statement is very disingenuous, and any other op-ed type of faux-interview we see in news will open with a clear indication that the
interview is fictionalized for the purpose of making a statement...

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with our 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, while he was out promoting
his health care reform initiative. I requested 30 minutes given the scope and detail of my inquiry; they said I could have 20. Twenty minutes, 1200
seconds, not a lot of time to question the President about one of the most important events in our nation’s history. The following is a transcript
of our remarkable discussion.
The interjection of situation comments also shows some deceptive or sensationalist intent...
(At this point one of Obama’s senior aides approaches the President and whispers into his ear. Obama glances quickly at his watch and nods as
the aide resumes his post at the doorway, directly behind me.)
(the President continues to view the documents)
(The Senior aide appears again beside the President whispering in his ear. He then quickly moves off).
(I watch as he strides gracefully out of the room, the truth I provided him held firmly by his side; in the hand of providence.)
This was clearly a sensationalist hoax. How unfortunate for "our side," as now this event may be used to paint us all in an unfavorable light.
