SUMMARY: In teasing a report on Sen. Barack Obama's purchase of stock in two companies whose investors included Obama campaign donors, CNN's Wolf Blitzer asked: "Did the Democratic presidential candidate cash in on his relationship with some big political donors?" The ensuing report, however, made clear that Obama did not "cash in"; rather, he took a net loss of $13,000 when he sold the stock after first learning he owned it.
