Front Page Magazine has a good series this week about H. and some of his ties to the community on Chicago's South Side.
Jacob Laksin explores Obama's ties to the South Side personalities who helped propel him to power, but whose continuing - and reciprocated - friendship with the candidate raises troubling questions about his ability to forge a new political consensus, especially on the fractious issue of race. To evaluate Obama's campaign and its grand promises, readers must first come to know the world of Chicago politics from which he emerged.Relationships with Father Michael Pfleger, Dorothy Tillman and, of course, the ubiquitous Reverend Wright are examined in good detail.
