“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them,” Obama said. “And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
In 1995, Obama's first autobiography is released. In it he writes of his years in college, associating with radicals. "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk rock performance poets . . . When we ground out our cigarettes in the hallway carpet or set our stereos so loud that the walls began to shake, we were resisting bourgeois society's stifling constraints. We weren't indifferent or careless or insecure. We were alienated."
[Obama, Barack, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance,
Random House, Pages 100-101]
"I fell in love with my country when I was a prisoner in someone else's, I loved it not just for the many comforts of life here. I loved it for its decency, for its faith in the wisdom, justice and goodness of its people. I loved it because it was not just a place, but an idea, a cause worth fighting for. I was never the same again. I wasn't my own man anymore. I was my country's."
~John McCain

Is this all you got. No one really cares about this when our economy is LITERALLY going down the toilet.

Is someone ripping you off? Your All in the Family Post?
I have noted many hits from England in your live blog traffic map.
ole exigent, was worried about copy right infringement. Well below might be an example of someone re writing your research.

exigent; When even CNN sits up and takes notice, you can believe there is something there. And the deeper you dig, the more you find.
The reason it is important is just for the concern you expressed.
If Obama (and Ayers) could blow through $110 million dollars on worthless programs as a community organizer, how much do you think he could blow through as POTUS?
NOW you're concerned about the defecit/debt?? Bush (fiscal conservative bwahaha) in 8 years doubled a national debt that started in the 1930's
Palin has more $$$ in earmarks per person of her state, so what is your point?
