Along with way, Obama acquired some unsavory friends including sleazy political fundraiser Tony Rezko and unrepentant Pentagon bomber William Ayers. Obama promises to carry his activist spirit into national politics, but does he also carry the smell of Chicago politics into the national arena?

quite a story...it's often been asked; why did he choose Chicago? I maintain he was directed there by Frank Marshall Davis.

interesting comment:

“I come out of a grassroots organizing background. That’s what I did for three and a half years before I went to law school. That’s the reason I moved to Chicago—to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. I’ve been fi ghting alongside of ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected offi cial, when I ran Project Vote in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it...

Yep...I don’t see how it can be denied anymore by anyone. It’s pretty obvious...that is to normal people! He runs his campaign like a cult. Very scary thought that the ‘useful idiots’ in our society might just vote him into office.
