People make mistakes, the trick is in getting up again from them, and making a bad thing into a learning experience for the good.

That is something Barry Obama hasn't yet been able to do, if only because he took his personal confusions and bad feelings about his relationships with his parents and families and converted them into racial victimology.

How has Mr. Kawanankoa dealt with his own life since the cocaine days? That's the question. It's sort of a bad rap to put out half the story -- the cocaine arrest and not follow-up with what he did about about it. It's the follow-up that counts more.

Why, for example, is he now a republican organizer?
