Why did a race-baiting mentor to the Black Panthers favor this yet unknown community organizer? Read More: Election 2008

In her stunning national political debut as the Republican candidate for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin described Obama as a man who had written two memoirs but no significant laws or reforms. So how did this unaccomplished community organizer rise to fame and fortune?

We know he's a Harvard graduate and was editor of the Harvard Law Review. Less known is the story of how he got into the prestigious Ivy League university.

He told NY1 reporter Dominic Carter on "Inside City Hall" that he was introduced to Obama by a friend raising money for him. The friend asked Sutton to write a letter in support of Obama's application to Harvard law school.

Takes a lot of guts to write a piece using Newsmax as a primary source.

it’s not like you’d find any ‘hard hitting, investigative reporting’ from any of the liberal rags

Kenneth Timmerman is a great investigative reporter.

I don't doubt it. And this stuff needs to be looked into. Newsmax is to be applauded for investigating this when no one else will. I only wish that Newsmax's journalistic professionalism was commensurate with its zeal for truth.
