    To New York Lawyer

    I'm surprised that ther hasn;t also been an appeal to Japanese Americans because Obama's best friend in Hawaii was African-Japanese. The pseudonym is "Ray" but the frien's actual first name is Keith. Sadly, while the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and David Axelrod, the smooth operator from Chicago, are leading Barack to glory everything has gone pear-shaped for Keith. After serving time for narcotics violation, he found himself homeless on the streets of LA, I think. ABC had a program on this man last year. You weren't watching? I bet Karl Rove was. I'm a little superstitious and can't hekp noticing that R is not a lucky letter for Obama. "Ray", Rezko, Rove and then there are the Republicans who haven't felt so cheerful in quite a long time.
