Do you have a verifiable source to indicate the couple is 
decidedly left wing and did their best to promote the Obama agenda?

The take from two other sites in essentially the same business as
Snopes:

http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/internet/a/snopes_exposed.htm

or

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/s/snopes.htm

As Urbanlegends at About.com, Dave Emery writes:

Apparently it never occurred to this anonymous emailer 
to cite even one alleged instance of Snopes.com <http://www.snopes.com/> promulgating 
"half-truths" or "lies" under the guise of valid information. 
So much for the email's credibility. 

and

What's ironic about the claim that TruthorFiction.com is more 
reliable than Snopes is that when you compare the contents of 
the two, their findings rarely diverge in any substantive way 
(does that mean TruthorFiction.com is biased too?). 

Of course, it could be all of the urban legend debunking sites
are in all this together.

YMMV.
