JosieOrtez....what constitutes a'great' article? A singular, uncorroborated piece that supports your intense dislike of Obama and his several miilion supporters?
I read the piece. I don't know if and what this 'reporter' states is true or false. Do you? How?
I found the article mildly amusing, in as much as it is more about the writer himself, than Obama. His quest for work and interviews, his crappy car, the places he slept(or 'crashed') His atmospheric retelling of sitting on Chicago porches above places the homeless haunted. All very self-impressed with the romance of the young struggling reporter. He's a wannabe, using anti-Obama invective---to pander to the segment of the electorate that confuses vitriol and personal attacks with productive, meaningful political and civic dialogue.
I am white, female, very middle-aged, have struggled as a single mother most of my life and am told I represent the core the Hillary's base.
Sorry folks---I support and admire Obama--flaws and all.
JosieOrtez in supporting your candidate you might want to chill out on the anger, propaganda tact, it's so Bush 2000/2004...Its just not working this year.
