Maybe I am just feeling a bit impatient with some of the hairsplitting that takes place here and it's obscuring my clarity of vision here. But I don't think I see your point.
For instance, there is a voiceover saying that taking political contributions is a crime in Texas. This is a true statement. We see the president saying that Tom DeLay was very useful in getting certain legistation passed. I don't know whether this is a true statement, but I sure do see the president saying it. Does the film (as extrapolated from this teaser) go on to say that it was bad that a criminal was running congress? That maybe the president owed him a favor or two? Most likely. Do you think that's a "smear"? It actually sounds like a reasonable conclusion to me.
