I guess the Library of Congress is a blind follower of the New York Times, too

The Library of Congress doesn't have an opinion. It is merely is a repository of material, both factual & fiction. DUH!

From the Occidental Weekly.

You know, the college that published the poem in its literary magazine.

A man known for his political convictions, autobiographies and impassioned speeches, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is now receiving attention for something new - his poetry.

Kevin Batton (senior) reported on Obama's two poems, "Pop" and "Underground," both found in the Spring 1982 issue of Feast, Occidental's former literary magazine. Over a month after the Weekly published Batton's article, various media sources have used these findings to cover and comment on Obama's poetry, often mentioning Occidental College in the process.
