In fact recall the criticism that he was not from the ghetto and had not had the Black experience.

Yea, they hide behind the fluff and ignore any true investigational stories so they can keep access to the players. Don’t you think thats exactly what is happening now as we never saw a single investigational piece by corporate media of Pbama and Rezko’s relationship. Not to mention Ayers, Wright and Louis Farrakhan. Then there’s Obama’s childhood. I saw interviews with Europeans yesterday talking about Obama’s amazing rise to the Presidency. People actually think that Obama came from the ghetto, fought and worked his way out of poverty into the most expensive, prestigious schools and worked hard climbing the political ladder to the highest office in the land. Yes, they believe he lived the typical American black experience. They have no idea that he was raised in privelage, attended private school in Hawaii and who knows how he paid for his education.</p> Complain all you want about the media and their shenanigans regarding accessability to people in power.

But the trad media was obsessed with the affair and once it appeared that the Times didn’t have enough solid evidence (i.e. a photo in the act) they dropped the WHOLE story.
