This man has been a public document for over two years. Almost 30 debates, numerous interviews, numerous press conferences, numerous reports from the Sun Times. You say we don't know him. What WHITE pol has ever had to undergo this kind of scrutiny? What kind of WHITE pol has HAD to take private financing to advance his agenda/ protect his legacy? What, you want to eat with them? Have a sleepover? You press people are RIDICULOUS. Palin has not done ONE serious interview or one press conference and you bash Obama? Unbelievable. </description></item><item><title>Obama: Covering Obama</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/28/1600244.aspx#1600322</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:42:33 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1600322</guid><dc:creator>James T, Wheeling IL</dc:creator><description>Whitaker. Another one of the Chicago-gang of crooks. Whitaker is just another of a long line of political hacks on the take in Illinois. The public health in Illinois is in crisis mode, millions of dollars in the red, corrupt, poor service, super rich administrators, and in many of the crooks running it have been federally charged and are thankfully going to jail. The nation shold look towards Illinois and see how mismanaged and corrupt the state is, and if the nation likes that kind of government, then vote Barack Obama next Tuesday. He'll do for the nation what he did for Illinois, nothing.</description></item><item><title>Obama: Covering Obama</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/28/1600244.aspx#1600346</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:45:24 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1600346</guid><dc:creator>Mia in Miami</dc:creator><description>Michelle Obama was great on Jay Leno.
