Adler was one of the Obama 2008 campaign's first hires in January 2007, assigned to debunk a widely circulated anonymous set of emails that rumored Obama was Muslim. Interviewed at that time by Politico.com, Adler said, "We've been bird-dogging it from the beginning; the first research document that I put together was a response to the 'Who is Barack Obama?' email."
