same period.

wounded in the city.

Man, that Obama be one helluva community organizer, no? Just think if
he were REALLY effective. There would probably only be a dozen blacks
left in Chicago!
Maybe the Chicago machine that got Obama this far should dig up,
literally, a "real" oganizer, Al Capone. LIke, do it right.
