One advantage of a big, media-focused convention is that so many shadowy campaign "insiders" seek the spotlight. In Denver, one of Sen.

When will Fox send a camera team to simply document what Obama’s old state senate district looks like? If he’s so effective for the nation, shouldn’t we take a glance at how he did on his own adopted local turf?

That explains the One’s desire to meet with Imadinnerjacket with no preconditions. He’ll have a letter of introduction from another good friend, Valerie Jarrett.

Huma has been under a press blackout imposed by Hilderbeast. It is almost impossible to gt a shot of her. As for Valerie, http://www.iranian.com/main/singlepage/2008/valerie-jarrett and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Jarrett

I know there are many fine Iranians who have become citizens in this country.

But I suspect that some of those who came to this country post-Shah 1979 are Sleepers.

Check her Wiki profile. She isn’t Iranian. She was born there of American parents.
