The New Yorker magazine made a fundamental mistake when it decided to answer the question, Who Sent Obama? They sent a 30-something New Yorker named Ryan Lizza to Chicago. And Chicago ate him for breakfast and never looked back. Of course, as patient readers of Global Labor well know, we asked, and answered, the [...]

Barack Obama was recruited to become a community organizer in Chicago twenty years ago. After three years of doing this work, Obama realized that he could have far more influence in Illinois if he pursued a career in politics as had Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington. In furtherance of this notion, Obama began to [...]

We wrote several articles — here, here, and here — on reports last week about the favorable home loan that the Obamas received for the $1.6 milion mansion they couldn’t afford, but which the now-convicted Tony Rezko made possible. We pointed to the connections between Chicago’s Crown family, billionaire industrialists and constant Obama campaign financiers, [...]

Obama’s ACORN: A Leftist Social Reform Group Obama’s most questionable tie is to a leftist organization called ACORN. His connection to this group begins with a woman named Madeleine Talbot. She embraced Obama and taught him the ropes. He remained a part of this group’s training cadre. Obama taught leadership conferences for the group while [...]

A little boy is dead because Barack’s key fundraisers cared more about profit than a safe environment for children. While his mother watched him to be sure he was safe, Curtis Cooper, a three-year-old boy riding his tricycle, was crushed to death by a heavy iron fence that suddenly fell over on top of him [...]

Ready to “fight the smears,” Barack? How about, at last, answering a few preliminary questions? 1. When did you first meet unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, one of your early key political fundraisers? As the co-founder of the Annenberg Chicago Challenge wasn’t he instrumental in your appointment as its chairman in 1995? Why haven’t [...]

SEN. OBAMA: George, but this is an example of what I’m talking about. This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who’s a professor of English in Chicago, who I know and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He’s not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis. And [...]

[Truthteller's note:Fox News's Bill O'Reilly broached the topic of Obama's relationship to Bill Ayers and corrupt Chicago machine politics with a Fox News analyst and a Chicago Tribune columnist on 26 MAY. Although the panelists, who in my opinion are not very bright, provide an incomplete analysis, the Tribune columnist did mention that Leftists, Democrats [...]

The puff piece (some might call it an act of journalistic fellatio) on Barack Obama in the Sunday New York Times is but another reminder that most of the mainstream media have gone AWOL when it comes to getting Barack Obama to tell the truth about his past. Like a flat stone thrown along the [...]

About Barack Obama’s longtime employer, political contributor, and fellow board member, from a blog article, “Kill the Pigs“: Ayers once described the Weathermen as “an American Red Army” whose mission was, “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.” In his book, “Fugitive Days,” Ayers [...]

Expedience. Expedience propelled the speech in Philadelphia, and Tuesday’s grim press conference. it was expedience that was borne from falling poll numbers, and really — let’s be clear here — nothing to do with anti-American, racist, divisive words. Because if those words had been the real reason, he’d have quit that church 20 years ago, [...]
